This game is probably still one of the most buggy games since its release. It's been a long time since the developers forgot about their game, but despite thousands of unofficial updates, the game is still full of bugs that make it unplayable today.
But it's actually good that the game is too broken to play, because I wouldn't want you to have the horrible experiences I had...
It doesn't matter how interesting and good the story and universe is. I'm not going to give a high score to a game that is so broken and annoying to play. When the gameplay is this buggy, the whole game, and all the good aspects that go with it, becomes a complete waste of time.
Sooner or later, while playing, you will get stuck at some point in the game and your save will be irrevocably broken. Aside from the mediocrity of the technical side of the game, the gameplay itself is already very bad and dated.
It's a game I've always wanted to play and finish for years. For different reasons, I hadn't had the chance to play it or I had been putting it off. I started playing it even though it was late.
It was only after I started playing that I realized I had overestimated this game and I was very disappointed. Here was a mediocre, time wasting and frustrating game that didn't meet my expectations in the slightest...
Today, the fans of this game are just as annoying as the games themselves. Only someone brainwashed by nostalgia and with nothing else to do in life can enjoy this game.
It's a game that should have been forgotten long ago, but fans have persistently updated it to keep this abomination alive to this day.

Second game that should never have been made. Developers pushed their luck and lost the gamers they gained from the first game by making this game. First game was already very bad and didn't appeal to everyone, but somehow they managed to make it even worse.
Piranha Bytes should stop making games. They are trying to make outdated games that are trying to appeal to gamers who are probably 40-50 years old now.
They've never been open to improvement and innovation, and when they've tried, they've failed, like with ELEX 2. This company needs to shut down and step aside.
Like their games, they should be relegated to the dusty shelves of history. It's just laughable that they are trying to survive in this industry like this.
I wonder when they will stop making failed games and even more failed series. They will probably continue to fail in the same way for another 20 years if they get the chance.

I played the game and it was definitely one of the worst and boring games I've ever seen and I deleted it. It's not a game, it's more like an e-book.
First of all, this is not an open world game. I have no idea how it can be marketed like this, have the developers ever seen an open world game? The NPCs do nothing but sleep at night and the world is a small and frankly empty map. It's static and dead and never changes. It's not even a world, let alone an open world.
It's not a real RPG either. Yes, you have stats and inventory and dice rolls, but that's it. Also, these are just game mechanics, there's a skill tree and inventory like in a lot of games, but they don't make a game an RPG game, and there's no real choice, because the whole difference is tied to dialog options, which you'll click on anyway, further destroying the role-playing part, and for a lot of things, choosing to do something will actually be a dice roll, and the mechanics of retrying the roll are overly complicated and too overwhelming to take the time.
No matter what you do, you'll be dragged towards a single ending, which makes sense since it's a murder mystery, but as a player you have no choice, the only real choice is at the character creation screen, and from that point on it's pretty much set how you're going to play the next 30-40 hours of the game, which is filled with dialog just to drag it out.
Yes, you can click on options in dialog windows, but the game will decide for you whether that happens or not, and it will mostly depend on your character's stats and some modifiers. Yes, again, it's an RPG mechanic, but as a player, you don't really get to choose anything or do anything.
An example of a game where your choices really matter would be Detroit Become Human. Or even Witcher 3. Disco Elysium is nowhere near that level, Detroit is already not an RPG game, Witcher 3 is not a pure RPG, but supposedly Disco Elysium was marketed as open world and a pure RPG, but it's not even half as successful as those games.
In short, Disco Elysium is not a game to be played even if it's free. I never understood what they liked about this game. It is one of the most overrated games of recent years.

2014
Probably the most mediocre Dark Souls copy you'll ever see. It's horrible that years later they're making a new game that's just as mediocre.
2013
It could have been a decent follow up to second game, but the fact that almost everything in the game is timed and constantly rushes you to do the main story missions makes third game one of the most mediocre games in the series and among similar games.
Adding an open map and side quests to explore and making them playable in a limited amount of time is probably one of the worst game developer ideas ever. I don't want to see this nonsense in any game ever again.
Games are made to be played and every gamer has a different play style. If you don't want us to play the game way we want, then don't make games.

2007
Worst game of the series. I remember how bored and frustrated I was trying to play this game and I never plan to play it again to finish it. Skip this game and move on to other games. Even for the time it was released, it has an unbearably terrible gameplay and story. Trying to finish this game is probably harder than actually living in the 12th century.
Probably the game with the worst graphics I've ever seen. Don't be fooled by the fact that the game was released in 2013. Even in the early 2000s, you won't find a game that looks this bad. Gameplay is just as bad as the graphics. Story is incredibly mediocre. It looks like a game that should never have been developed. Even installing it was a waste of time.
2007
Mediocre and old game in every aspect, even for the year it was released. It's a shame that Crysis was released the same year as this game. If you compare its graphics, you will understand better what I mean. I made a mistake and tried it and regretted it, don't do it. Some nostalgia obsessed people who do not understand games may recommend this game to you, and you should stay away from such people.
It offers a mediocre experience that could be considered DLC that should never have been released on its own. If you played the second game, there's no reason to play this one. Story and the main character are very bad and boring. Gameplay is probably the worst in the series. Stay away from this garbage unless you want a terrible ending to the series.
2012
The best and my favorite game of the series. Gameplay and story everything else is flawless. I don't like stealth games, but this game made me love them. Game is so good that you have to love everything about it.
2016
I never loved the second game as much as I loved the first. I don't know what happened to this series, but it completely loses its magic with the first game and the sequels feel like a boring experience that can't be remembered.
2011
Ancestor of the Dying Ligt series. It was never successful as a series, but first game never felt mediocre. Even though it got seriously boring towards end of the game, it was a game with different ideas for the time it was released and inspired many games today. Downside of this game is that it was developed with multiplayer in mind. Main story would have been much more successful if it had been developed as a single player game.
2023
Pushing things too hard can prevent us from achieving good results. Dead Island 2 is a good example. It spent nearly 10 years in very troubled development and when it came out we were left with a boring game that was way behind its time and offered nothing new or special. The Dead Island series was already buried after Dying Light because it couldn't release new games. When they tried to dig it up and revive it after so many years, the name meant nothing to anyone. A lot of zombie-related content has been produced in these 10 years and it's not as popular as it used to be. In short, Dead Island 2 is an average, unmemorable game that you can play in your spare time. I hope they don't plan to make a third game. Just like its name, it would be better for everyone if this series really is "dead".
2019
Most mediocre game in the series. I've tried it for years but I could never get to the last chapter and endure it enough to finish it. Gameplay and the story are extremely boring. After the first two great games, such a horrible ending to the series is unbecoming. Good graphics alone do not make a game good. This is the only basis for those who praise this game. I can't take such people's opinions about games seriously. Now that I think about it, I hope whoever thought of those endless credits at every opening will never find a job anywhere in this game industry again. Even writing a review for this game would be a waste of time.
For a 2013 game, the graphics and gameplay are very dated. Only Telltale has been able to make a good series of games related to the Walking Dead brand. Although years have passed, we still haven't seen a big budget AAA game from this brand. They ruined the game side like the TV series. If the owners of the Walking Dead brand didn't only care about making more and more money without spending money, a game close to Days Gone could have come by now. But after this hour, there's no point anymore. There are too many zombie games on the market. They couldn't use it when they had the opportunity
