Disco Elysium: The Final Cut Reviews
It emerges as an irreverent letter to heartbreak, desolation, psychology and revolution. Behind its proposal hides an unimaginable talent, and that is something that an improvable version cannot hide.

While I've played indie games with a pretty wide variety of styles and levels of quality since the launch of the Switch I can't say any of them has defied easy explanation as much as Disco Elysium for me...
Disco Elysium's expanded edition successfully builds upon an already excellent RPG, making it just as relevant today as it was in 2019.
Disco Elysium was a masterpiece in the field of role-playing games in the same year that it was released, and now with the release of the final cut version, its creators have fixed a few of the game's flaws, such as the lack of full sounding. If you're a fan of role-playing games and enjoy rich fictional titles with plenty of dialogues, don't miss the experience of this game.

Disco Elysium: The Final Cut is still the highest level of story, brilliant atmosphere and wonderful adventure. Unfortunately on PS5 it didn't work out as well as on PC. And although I would give a "nine" for these first features without thinking, there were a lot of mistakes that simply can not be forgotten.

While Disco Elysium: The Final Cut won't appeal to everyone, those that do enjoy it will sing its praises for a long time to come. Just be prepared for a few bugs if you play on console.
Disco Elysium: The Final Cut is the refinement of one of the most innovative systems in the RPG genre of recent times, with interesting missions, a very particular artistic style and a surprisingly well-articulated branched narrative construction. A must for lovers of a beautiful story and a great RPG.

Right now Disco Elysium The Final Cut is damn close to that vision. It is not often that I can forgive a messy launch, but the fixes that patched up things quite quickly and the experience itself outweighs any issues that are already in the past. If there was any game from the ones presented in a while that I wholeheartedly recommend, this is the one.
Disco Elysium: The Final Cut is a Role Playing masterpiece and the best choice for those who never forgot the memories of Planescape: Torment.

Disco Elysium draws you in with its weird yet familiar setting with a plot that is ever branching. Whether it's the interactions with the characters or the setting, everything is artistically articulated.

With full voice acting of over one million enrapturing lines of dialogue, new quests, and an undeniable painterly look, Disco Elysium: The Final Cut is a landmark RPG. Boasting an excellent murder mystery, it also challenges the player in deconstructing a broken socio-political system and interacting with its inhabitants. The game then slowly unravels itself a dense meditation on the human condition, made possible by your dialogue choices and their consequences.
The voice that narrates everything and also plays your different stats is really satisfying to listen to, keeping me around to hear it all even though I could personally read way faster than he could talk. If you enjoy games that lean heavily into their dice rolling foundations, you should absolutely put your time into Disco Elysium; you will not regret it. With its myriad of technical difficulties on the Switch, however, it may be a good idea to look elsewhere unless portability is your main concern.
Disco Elysium: The Final Cut comes to Xbox in the best possible way: with its memorable story, its magnificent characters and with an unbeatable console adaptation.

Traversing the mind of your character is as much a plot as the case you're trying to solve, and once you're immersed into the world of Revachol, you'll be struggling to leave.
There will be essays written on Disco Elysium. This is one of those games that will be studied in universities as Citizen Kane is studied in film and D. H. Lawrence's work is all-but unavoidable if you study literature. It's not necessarily the most outright entertaining thing the medium has ever produced, but it's an important work that explores the boundaries and potential of video games, while also having the nuance and layers it needs to challenge players to think beyond the joy they get from pressing buttons. Even if you have to play the Switch port, as inferior as it is, you should make sure that you play Disco Elysium on something.
It's that good.
There is a lot to like about Disco Elysium. Its unorthodox and detailed world is beautifully rendered, and the characters are excellently voiced. There is a ton of style that makes it appealing, but none of it matters if the current build is broken and unplayable.
Disco Elysium was already an excellent game when it first launched, and with The Final Cut, it's been made even better.
Disco Elysium The final Cut is a good port of a masterpiece, and as such, it's highly recommended to rpg fans and to whoever thinks videogaming is more than shooting and fighting.

There are valid criticisms to level at Disco Elysium: The Final Cut. The console port wasn't handled as cleanly as it could have been and new players are likely to get blindsided in a way that just a touch more information up front would have avoided.
