Disco Elysium Reviews
Disco Elysium is a detective RPG that sets a new standard for storytelling.
Disco Elysium is perhaps one of the best role-playing games of all time, and I don't say that lightly. I haven't played a game that has been able to so masterfully flex to my actions as well as ZA/UM's freshman outing. The writing is sharp, the characters genuine, and the choices possess true stakes.
If you love RPGs, reading or fancy something different - and I mean really damn different - then track down Disco Elysium.
So deep, so well-written, so pleasant to watch, so funny and so dark, so clever, so free and replayable : for sure Disco Elysium is the kind of trip you will remember. One of the best RPG ever made.

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.
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

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.
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.

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 an unforgettable journey that shouldn’t just be experienced by all RPG fans, but by anyone who has ever played a videogame.
I’m going to tell you if you are a fan of the CRPG genre, with a heavy focus on storytelling, replayability, and roleplay – buy this game. You don’t need anything else, don’t watch videos, don’t read reviews, just go buy it. It’ll be the best 45.49 Cannuck bucks you ever spent.
Disco Elysium doesn’t feel like a game, but then it doesn’t really feel like a movie or a book either. It’s hard to pin down exactly what it is, but I love it and I can’t get enough of it.
The best RPG in years, Disco Elysium is the kind of game that makes you want more from all the other games --a groundbreaking and absolutely essential masterpiece.

Finally, a roleplaying game where you play a role instead of “press button, make the number go up.”
A truly outstanding piece of art, Disco Elysium is an RPG that warrants playing over and over again.
Disco Elysium is a deep, sharply written, unique blend of noir-detective fiction and traditional pen-and-paper RPGs.
Disco didn't die, but someone did and you have to find out who and whodunnit!
If you are a fan of RPGs and want to play something that mixes up the genre, I cannot recommend this game enough.
Disco Elysium is a difficult game to describe, but it's easy to recommend. One of the most inventive games in recent memory, it's an often cynical, mean-spirited RPG that's nonetheless full of beauty and humanity. While its obsession with the nastier parts of the human psyche will definitely turn some people off, the depth of its story and systems reward a deep dive into the mire, as do its beautiful art and writing.
