Disco Elysium is an amazing experience

Disco Elysium is easily one of the most unique gaming experiences I’ve ever had. There is no combat, and while I initially thought this would be a detractor for me, it turns out it isn’t — I’ve put in close to 15 hours so far and every single minute of playtime has been a complete joy.
The writing in this game is hands down the best I’ve ever seen in a video game. It feels entirely natural and realistic (though there is a lot of profanity and some very graphic/adult descriptions from time to time). It also has some of the most comedic and downright laughable moments and dialogue in any game. You have to experience it to understand.
I love the world you explore. The soundscape is haunting and fitting. The characters and your main NPC sidekick Kim are all extremely interesting and unique. The voiced dialogue, new to the Final Cut, is top notch too and really elevates all of the writing and conversations throughout the game to another level. It’s fantastic. The overall gameplay loop is extremely addicting with there being tons of things to discover, interact with, doors to open, mysteries to solve, and it can all be done your way.
The skill system is rewarding, and essentially ties into not only unlocking new dialogue opportunities with NPCs, areas to explore, and story progression but also results in you having conversations with the different parts of your psyche which is extremely interesting, often aiding though sometimes even hilariously wrecking your dialogue with characters or attempts to overcome some obstacle. I’ve never quite experienced anything like this. But if you’ve played CRPGs before, the basic concept of game systems will feel comfortable.
If you like point and click adventures, choice based dialogue decisions, and classic CRPGs (Baldur’s Gate, Divinity Original Sin II, etc) you will likely enjoy this game. Even if you don’t usually enjoy these genres, I’d still recommend giving Disco Elysium the Final Cut a try. As stated at the beginning, this is one is the most immersive, entertaining, and wholly unique experiences I’ve ever had in gaming and I don’t say that lightly. Couldnt recommend this game enough.

This is an okay game. A little slow and they do NOT give you any instruction (well maybe a little). I don't understand the hype.

Haven't beaten it yet, but a really fun D&D like game. Super involved and pretty complicated, so be prepared to learn the game.

Really unique and wonderful game. It’s an intersection of an old school adventure game, table top gaming, and something like D&D.

Theres a poster inside, wasn't packaged the best, but its more than you typically see in a game case these days. Haven't played it yet but have read wonderful things and it has been patched to address performance issues. Recommend SwitchUp's review.

Interesting and gritty / dark story. It can be a bit slow though.

A unique take on the detective noir setting with interesting characters and an old school fee.

Product arrived ripped open and damaged. Unfortunately, Best Buy won't send out replacements until they have the original in their possession. Will hopefully find out if the game itself is good, once I make it to the store in a few days to return this mess and a new one is shipped out.

Great Game, Sloppy Port

If all you have is a Switch, this isn't a bad game to pick up for it. However, the port has some issues with load times, and a few errors that appear from time-to-time.
