What appears a plain detective mystery on the surface slowly unfurls into a one-of-a-kind RPG with masterful storytelling, poignant characters, meaningful choices, unique game mechanics, and gorgeous art and music. The city of Revachol feels real and brimming with a depth of societal tension, poignant humanity, existentialism, and macabre humor. Fresh, thoughtful, and boundary-breaking — Disco Elysium is one of those rare games I can fully recommend as a piece of powerful experiential art.
