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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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...

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.

Disco Elysium The Final Cut succeeds in the difficult task of elevating the original work from a "phenomenal role-playing game" to a masterpiece of the genre that anyone should play at least once in their life.

‎Disco Elysium: The Final Cut is one of the most interesting and tightly written stories we've seen in a video game. It also offers a freedom and impact that puts Telltale Games in a bad light. Slightly clumsy controls and a bug here and there does not prevent us from enjoying this absurdist spectacle to the fullest.‎

If you are a fan of RPGs, this game is an absolute “must experience.” It completely rewrites the possibilities of what a role-playing game can be mechanically, and does so while also providing a fascinating and twisty narrative and characters who will test your resolve and allegiances. Combine all this with a revolutionary skill system, and you are faced with the best game of the year so far—and one of the greatest RPGs ever made. So get up, detective—it’s time to dance.

Disco Elysium - The Final Cut presents us with a different bet where the classic mechanics of role-playing games are mixed with a unique script that will provide us with a large number of hours of entertainment where decision-making will be crucial in our adventure. With this final version there is no longer an excuse to face this excellent adventure.

Disco Elysium is a unicum in the current gaming landscape - the unquestionable quality of ZA/UM's proposal from a narrative and creative point of view makes it a game that would be a crime to miss. At the same time, due to gameplay choices and themes covered it' s also a game bound to be unpalatable to many, but those who'll let themselves to get kidnapped by the world of Elysium, will be rewarded with an absolutely memorable experience.

In conclusion, due to its origin and the number of words constantly displayed on screen Disco Elysium – The Final Cut sometimes comes across more as a visual novel than anything else. It is rare for a game to have such historical depth and deeply complex narrative and therefore it is very impressive, although it should be stated this is not a game for the faint hearted or something that non-fans of this genre will probably want to take on. Some of the subject matter is fairly grim and destructive behaviour is contained within the story but it is not glorified as there are penalties to be paid for activities such as drug use. I cannot think of another game quite like this and can see why the game has been lauded since its original release. If this particular style of game appeals to you it is not one to be missed.
