Disco Elysium: The Final Cut Reviews
Disco Elysium is one of the most important recent games. It is extremely innovative with its systems, while presenting a deeply humanistic political exploration, full of humor and wonderful characters. Every aspect of it, from the art direction to the music, the writing, to... the interface, is a small piece of art. And now, with the Final Cut version, it has become an even more complete experience.

Disco Elysium is a truly unique, narrative-driven point-and-click RPG that puts you in the shoes of a detective caught in the middle of a murder investigation… and so, so much more. While not without flaws, it’s well worth playing for those looking for a deeper story - and maybe even deeper meaning.
A game that is dark, funny, hopeful, depressing, nihilistic, anti-nihilistic, and yet so sincerely earnest that it almost brings a tear to my eyes.
There’s no way around it, Disco Elysium – The Final Cut is an absolutely brilliant RPG. The vast amount of content to explore and all the character development systems guarantee a robust experience and all but assure no two campaigns are the same. Add to the mix a phenomenal story, with one of the best scripts we have seen, and we have before us one of the most memorable experiences this industry has to offer. Sure, the mostly slow pace won’t be to everyone’s taste, buy we simply have to recommend this game to any and all RPG fans.

Technical issues aside, Disco Elysium: The Final Cut is the definitive edition of an already fantastic experience. In terms of narrative, it is to Western games what 13 Sentinels is to Japanese games.
The room is spinning, I feel queasy. Who am I? What am I doing here? Where the hell is here? Where are my bloody shoes? Welcome to Disco Elysium: The Final Cut, a game about a gruesome murder, amnesia and copious amounts of alcohol but more importantly, a game containing a web of choices. Choices that will lead you down memorable paths, into hilarious situations and wittily written conversations.
Disco Elysium - The Final Cut combines different elements in a very engaging RPG. Investigation, existentialism and politics are mixed in an unusual adventure full of simple and elegant mechanics. There is much to see in its elaborate world, which can be explored in different ways. The dense narrative explores remarkable themes through several memorable characters and poignant scenes, in an elaborate and impeccably localized Brazilian Portuguese text. In addition, visuals with impressionist touches, soft music and accurate voice acting set the melancholic mood of the city of Revachol. In the end, these characteristics make Disco Elysium - The Final Cut an exceptional experience.

Disco Elysium - The Final Cut is a marvel in storytelling, world-building, and character-building. With Disco Elysium finally on consoles, there is no excuse to skip out on one of the most interesting mysteries in years.
Bolstered by new features and quality-of-life upgrades, Disco Elysium remains a clever, uncompromising examination of how hard it is to do something as complicated as exist in the real world.
On PC, this is a great RPG - and finally one that has deserved the genre title. The console port on PS5 cannot convince me as much, however.
