Disco Elysium Reviews
Wordy, involving and whip-smart, Disco Elysium is a tremendous achievement which deserves to be held up as the new template for story-driven RPGs.
Disco Elysium is an enthralling song of inner-struggle, tabletop role-playing, and mystery.
Disco Elysium is a very special RPG that most of your time will be spent on reading. It features a well-written detective story, various tricky skill trees, and memorable characters. This game might be the best one of its kind. But if you can't stand reading for a long time, just don't try it.

Disco didn't die, but someone did and you have to find out who and whodunnit!
Studio ZA/UM's first foray into video games is a fantastically adult piece that takes the established and perhaps tired tropes of moral choice and player agency in RPGs and turns them on their heads, twists them into unexpected new shapes, surprising and delighting as it does. Its mixture of melancholy, mystery, fantastical mundanity and internalised musing make for a unique and thought provoking experience.
Disco Elysium is a noir cRPG made of the dream-stuff: it's complex, politically involved and a true piece of art. Sometime it can be slow, but it's a wonderful trip.

Disco Elysium is certainly not a game for those that are faint of heart, but if you have a sense of humor, and you're looking for a breath of fresh air then Disco Elysium is a must buy game. If it doesn't make you laugh out loud a time or three, I'll ride the Cock Carousel.
Looking for something even weirder than Torment and with even more character customization options? Disco Elysium is RPG of the year. Hell, maybe even the decade.
If you are a fan of RPGs and want to play something that mixes up the genre, I cannot recommend this game enough.
I loved it, though I barely understood much of it. It's a wild ride despite being mostly walls of text.
Disco Elysium is an exceptional case in RPGs! From a very touching personal story and impressive world-building of Revachol city to the impressive narrative role-playing experience with one-of-a-kind RPG systems and incredible and flexible missions and dialogues that can be highly reactive towards the player decisions.

Disco Elysium is a special role-playing game that promises much deeper and more beautiful story titles in the future by presenting a deep storyline, extraordinary characterization for characters, impressive choices, very different character traits for the main character, all of which are effective and have their proper impact on gameplay.

In my opinion, Disco Elysium is the game of the year for 2019. It shows how you can make creative, engaging, and well-written games entirely using writing and player choice without falling into the simple "visual novel" style. It's biting, clever, and witty, and it deserves to take its place among Planescape and Fallout: New Vegas. It's a must-play for any fans of RPGs and a genuine modern classic that will hopefully set the stage for many things to come.
Disco Elysium is a definition of a unique game. ZA/UM has created a perfectly designed detective RPG game that's like nothing else! perfect character development and customization make Disco Elysium a deep RPG and effect of decisions on story makes every play through a different and unique experience. Disco Elysium is one the 2019's biggest surprises and of course best games,

Disco Elysium is an experience that other developers will be hurrying to unpack so they can try to steal some of its magic. It's been a long time since a video game story has gotten its hooks into me quite as this one has. Despite some shortcomings, I'll be remembering the characters and moments from this adventure for years to come.
Disco Elysium is not only a deep, innovative RPG, but is also one of those pieces of art that emerge maybe only once a decade. The Belarusian developers brutally throw the loneliness, struggles and helplessness of modern human into the players faces and leave them to deal with it. Disco Elysium not only offers a very deep and engaging story, but also mixes it superbly with some top of the line role playing elements, and gives you one of the most special experiences in recent years.

This is great role playing game for crime story lovers. There is so much to read - but for some players there is too much reading.

Disco Elysium's name will be frequently mentioned 10 years from now, as one of the most original and legendary RPG's. If you're not scared by lots and lots and lots of text, this is a must have game.

Literature-centric game, full of unexpected references and non-standard accents. Detective noir meets deep and charming old-school RPG and going to real masterpiece
