They also affect skill checks in the environment and in conversation. For instance: your "stats" are represented in the form of personality traits (of sorts) that are accompanied by a corresponding "voice in your head" that will inject itself into conversations with NPCs, urge you to make one decision over another, and just generally be present in the narrative. Sure, at it's core it's like a d20 style tabletop scifi / neo noir RPG campaign being run by an enthusiastic and erudite DM, but its also got a few great twists on that formula as well. It then blends this inspired storytelling with an equally inspired set of gameplay mechanics. The way the NPCs deliver dialogue and the content of all their backstories is a cut above what I'm used to in games. I love gaming and RPGs as much as the next guy, but the writing in Disco made the writing in some of my all time favorite RPGs seem amateurish by comparison. Every interaction with every NPC has depth, the NPCs feel complex and alive, the worldbuilding is absolutely phenomenal and the weird voices-in-your-head / talent tree system compliments the narrative and artistic style delightfully well. The dialogue, writing and storytelling throughout is top shelf.
It's one of those games that puts most of the rest of the genre to shame IMO. I enjoyed every twist and every turn of this narrative rollercoaster.I haven't been this excited about an RPG in a long time. If you don't like cerebral, but goofy games, then stay away. The game has a fun story to tell and wants you to go on the ride with them. The choices of things to say can be a lot of fun and the game encourages you to pick the strange answers.and sometimes you are actually rewarded. But this game would be nothing if these words were boring or even normal. There are a ton of other NPC's that speak as well. The narrator spoke over 300,000 words and that is just his voice. If you like a narrative story, than this is for you. Not because I absolutely loved the game, but because I felt it was a game I could get into if I invested the time. I recently received an older xbox one and bought it as soon as I knew it was on sale.

In the end, you may not like it, but if you get hooked, Disco Elysium becomes a unique experience that leaves you breathless once the adventure is over. For the others, this game really deserves to be played for several hours in order to really understand what you are doing. However, Disco Elysium will not be enjoyed by those allergic to reading as it contains thousands of sentences or for fans of fight scenes since there are none here. Moreover, its adaptation on consoles, at least on the Xbox Series, does not taint the picture too much. The inclusion of the video game medium transcends the experience thanks to a singular and bewitching graphic aesthetic and soundtrack. Indeed, it offers a substantial lore, captivating NPCs, a mature, solid and coherent scenario no matter which way you go, a crazy amount of freedom in roleplay, the famous dice rolls and finally, a “game master” with an exceptional narrative power. It is a perfect embodiment of what a tabletop role-playing game should look like. The first title from the studio ZA/UM and Robert Kurvitz is a C-RPG masterpiece. Disco Elysium is one of those games and it is easy to understand why it has won many prestigious awards. Video games that mark an era or become an essential reference in their respective genres are quite rare.
