Disco Elysium is an absolute masterpiece, every hour I have spent in this game was an amazing experience, simply put it is one of the most in depth and incredible RPGs I have ever played and I cannot recommend it enough.

Everything about this game and its world is truly mesmerising, it features an amazing story with some of the best writing I have ever experienced, so many moments in this game have me laughing my head off, or on the verge of tears. Visually it is beautiful, not only is the setting so interesting but it is made all the more fun to explore due to the art style, this is all complimented quite well by its soundtrack, which features some solid songs to help the story.

And ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ the narration and voice over work, on top of every other thing Disco Elysium does right this game has some AMAZING voice acting. All of the characters are given so much life and personality with some phenomenal voice acting.

The game isn't without its hiccups but I have to say they are some of the most minor gripes I have had with any game I have played. Some sections of the game are a little annoying to try and navigate with anything other than a mouse, I wish the game let me increase my render distance so the screen would be filled when I zoom out (mainly to make navigating areas with a mouse a little nicer), I wish some super mundane things weren't locked behind pointless skill checks, while it is very funny when you fail it get a little annoying in subsequent runs suffering the consequences of that lingering 3% chance I die of a heart attack taking my shirt off or whatever.

All said Disco Elysium is a magnificent experience with such few and minor flaws and I strongly, strongly recommend everyone give it a go, 9.5/10!!
