10/10, love this game
AMAZING game. but dont BUY it. the creators get nothing from this because of the publishers. best to pir8 it LOLOL
Amazing experience, shows how good a game is when you just simply care about fleshing out the characters and their environment, the game felt like a fresh breath of air from all recent games that have been released. Really hoping for a sequel despite the IP and the dev company's clownshow.
TL;DR version on the end of this review
Really good game(10/10).One of a kind. Ideological delight, very charismatic characters, a lot of inner dialogue between certain aspects of your character's personality. Questions popular political and social ideologies from both sides of political spectrum in a fictional world to the extent that average human will understand and enjoy this intellectual dilemma. Shines a light on certain human perspectives and on the people that believe in them. A game manages to give you a lot of information to process and manages to do this in a way that's captivating, which is really hard when you read wall of text(Game has more words in it than LOTR). Truly a treat I'd recommend it to everyone, but... not from mainstream sources. What makes this game so special is TOP tier writing mixed with in-depth game mechanics. The people that created this piece of art got screwed by the investors in the company they worked for ZA/UM, the group that kicked them out stole their money to buy major shares in the company and kicked the writers out, taking the Disco Elysium IP in the process. Good writing in games industry is becoming a scarce resource and any instance of it should be preserved and given credit, by supporting writers not the corpo-egoes stealing all their work which fuels existing lack of good writing(common theme in culture industry). Other negative comments on this game offer alternatives that don't support corporate greed.
TL;DR - Really good game you should play it, just find other means of gaining access to it(check other negative comments) if you want to support the people that created this masterpiece.
Best book I've ever played
Don't read any more reviews, watch any guides, just play the
Not a bad game, but not for me. I found myself getting frustrated at some of the level design and parts of the gameplay.
Wow, this game just accomplishes it all, doesn't it? Great satirical worldbuilding, funny and touching moments and details, writing that is actually two notches above what would usually be considered 'good' by video game standards, an excellent detective game that is equally a deconstruction and a stellar example of a CRPG. Suffice to say, I'm very impressed.
Without a doubt, I can say Disco Elysium had the funniest dialogue I think a game I have played has had. It had advanced political ideology and commentary that a lot of completely flew over my head, while also allowing you to ask some of the dumbest questions that no detective would ever ask a suspect. Your partner in the investigation Kim Kitsuragi tries his absolute hardest to keep you focused and his by the book attitude mixed with your "screw it, we ball" hilarity is an amazing combo. Think of The Other Guys or Rush Hour. So many times, I'd reload a save to pick the dumbest option because it was so out of left field and hilarious that I had to see what would happen next. Stepping up in the bar to sing karaoke only to hear the worst singing you have ever heard in your life had me dying laughing and nearly every conversation in the game had moments I'd smile or laugh at.
Unlike other CRPGs, this one had no combat. Its all dialogue, with a number of checks being determined by dice rolls. With only a handful of hit points, failing skill checks led to stuff going sideways *very* fast. Which is where the game shines. My favorite part of the game was the first time you inspect the body at the murder scene. I failed a specific check 3 separate times leading to the ace detective vomiting and being unable to actually progress in the investigation all three times. It was so entertainingly funny that no matter what I did, my super genius police detective couldn't keep it together for 30 seconds. The entire time, Kim is entirely over putting up with my crap and is begging me to figure it out. Another time I passed people playing a game with tossing rocks. I tried to participate, failed a strength check I had a 92% chance of passing, and had a heart attack and died. The consequences were so funny I was almost hoping I failed sometimes because it was just a comedy of errors. Basically the worst detective on planet Earth stumbles into solving the murder, trying to pick fights with people four times his size because the voices in his head tell him he can take them.
The only flaw I really had for the game was it doesn't quite stick the landing at the end. I finished on the shorter end of the expected time so its possible I missed some links or additional parts of the solution, but I had such a great time experiencing it that I wasn't too upset about it. The game really felt unique and one of a kind, which makes it an easy recommendation from me. There is so much to unpack in it that I never even got to, but I can see why so many people talk it up as one of the best games of all time. There is really nothing like it and I loved every minute of it.
Still one of my favourite games of all time despite the drama surrounding ZA/UM as a publisher. I don't see the point in leaving a negative review as the game itself is still well worth playing.
A brilliant narrator (Lenval Brown) delivers the amazing dialogue throughout the game, the plot and characters are truly unique and well written. The soundtrack is great, those trumpets get me fired up every time I hear 'em. VERY DISCO!!
Super good game so far, I'm hooked after just a couple of hours. Hopefully that continues along with the rest of my playthrough, but I honestly can't put it down so far, so I doubt it'll stop being as good as it is.
I absolutely recommend this game. I didn't play it until last year and it was 100% my game of the year. Also it runs well on the Steam Deck. At one point I was in the presence of someone who's net worth was so much higher than mine that he appeared as a tear in space-time and I couldn't see him.
In most games I've gotten to the point where I ignore side quests as they all seem somewhat tedious and made to boost the hours of gameplay without adding much value. However, in Disco Elysium I found myself pursuing all of the leads and having conversations with everyone that I could. Both because it actually rewards you with clear stat benefits for gameplay, and because the dialogue was excellent. The humor was exactly my style, just the right mix of absurdist, social/economic satire and a smidge of nihilism. I'll probably let this one sit for a while and come back to play through again with a different approach/build, not something I do very often.
This game is the closest thing to perfect a game can get for me. I had 80 hours on gog before i ever beat the game because i kept restarting to try new things. It never got old and i was always finding new paths i never even considered. There is nothing like Disco Elysium.
Too bad the publishers became the very thing this game critiques and gutted the developers for money. I Hope Your tone deaf Amazon tv show crashes and burns.
Support the actual devs on their new solo projects like XXX Nightshift
What an adventure! I shaped my character to a complete maniac and died a few times, then finally got to the ending. I have heard it has * different endings, mine is a quite satisfying one luckily. The whole game is dark and full of twisting plots depends on your choice. Highly recommend for story lover.
Absolutely stunning writing. Even setting aside the excellent artwork, the moody voice acting, the solid soundtrack, the fresh game mechanic of your stats effectively being characters that get more to do as you level them, the world that was clearly fleshed out well beyond what we see in this game...it's the writing that truly stands above them all. There were multiple moments where I played this game and actually had to stop and just re-read and linger on the prose that was being used.
a simple review cannot this game enough credit.
disco elysium is a game that is essentially a listening and reading simulator 90% of the time, but never does it have a dull moment. from beginning to end, the game is completely enthralling, unpacking the complex world of revachol and harrier, learning about what was, what is, and what could be; and how you, the player, impact this world.
the world of disco elysium is expansive and abundant offering so much to do and see, giving the game plenty of replayability. to say disco elysium is worth every penny would be the understatement of the century.
Like all good detective stories, what appears simple at first becomes so much more than that in Disco Elysium – and here it gets so, so much weirder, too. It takes the age-old mechanics of tabletop RPGs like Dungeons & Dragons and twists them in strange ways around a macabre tale of violence, poverty, and a society on the brink of collapse. Through sharply written dialogue and an expertly crafted world, it uses some unique game mechanics - such as debating against 24 different sections of your own brain - to create a story that will stay with me for a long time. And, somehow, it manages to make all of this fun and, surprisingly often, funny. Now with the addition of a fully voiced cast and even more side quests to embark on, The Final Cut makes an amazing game even better.
The premise of Disco Elysium is straightforward: A body has been discovered, hanged from a looming tree in the backyard of a hostel, and it’s up to you to work out how it got there over the course of the 30-hour story. Everything that surrounds this core mystery is far from simple, however, not least being that you kick things off with an almighty dose of hangover-induced amnesia. You can’t even remember your name, let alone that you are a cop on a murder case. A part of your consciousness described as your ancient reptilian brain – which you literally engage in conversation with – attempts to persuade you to give up your quest even as your snivelling limbic system battles against it. As you stumble around your wrecked bedroom searching for remnants of your former self, it quickly becomes clear that this isn’t simply a whodunnit, but a journey that will challenge you to solve crises on both profoundly personal and societal levels. It’s a gorgeously designed isometric RPG that makes you think at every turn of its painterly streets.
even though I know about the situations with the devs, this is still one of the greatest game i've ever played and had me invested from start to finish
OMG the rabbit-holes you can go down. Dunno if they're true to the ideals espoused but its titilating at least.
Terrific game, basically one of the most innovative, engaging, and thought provoking novels of this generation.
Don't buy it here though. Look up how the rights to the game were stolen from the original devs. Nobody who originally worked on the game gets money from it anymore. Only reason I bought it here was cuz it was super on sale and I'm inexperienced in sailing the seven seas.
I'm already hyperfixated. I've been thinking about this game at work and it's the first thing I've run every time I've sat on my pc eversince i got it. Yes, depressed disco cop man, yes.... entertain me more...
It is rather an exceptional alcoholic experience of master-mind comme on speed drugs during heaviest delirium in the medical history. Replayable as Quasi una fantasia. Enjoyable as Frühschoppen after docking work shift.
Disco Elysium is one of a kind. There really is nothing quite like it, nothing to scratch that itch.
The story is great, the world building ist well done and the characters are interesting.
There is no real combat or any other kind of action, just exploration and interaction with NPCs you meet.
What really made this game stand out for me was the (excellent) synchronization, the organic dialogue and the voices in your head that dont stop and are shaped by your choices in character building. The RPG aspect is near perfect, you can really shape the personality of your character to your liking.
Overall highly recommended, maybe buy a key If you dont want to support questionable business practices.
A truly excellent game featuring a dark lore-heavy world, impactful player choices, unique skill tree design, a memorable story, great soundtrack, excellent art style... etc etc etc...
That's not what really makes this game stand out though.
What is great is your partner.
What's great is that you play as a truly broken individual.
What's great is your brain telling you to embrace hedonism and actually being presented with a choice.
What's great is the game directly telling you to **** off for not having the guts to take a side.
I've forgotten plenty of beautiful games with a great soundtrack. I'll never forget the way Kim looked at me after I chugged a bottle of wine, popped a handful of speed, and made a huge breakthrough in the case.
Absolute work of art, philosophy, psychology and social sciences. One of the best games ever I've came across and would 100% recommend to anyone who actually reads the dialogues and follows the story. This sh** is gonna hurt your brain no matter how big you think it is.
Great game that I unfortunately bought before reading up on the horrible things ZA/UM have done to the original creators of the game. Absolutely pirate the game to not give ZA/UM any more money to use for harassing Tuulik. Do not purchase whatever new doodoo game ZA/UM shovels out; bankrupting them is the only moral option left to common folk.
The real creators of the game were stolen from. Do not buy this game if you want to support the real developers. It's a beautiful game but find another source. Do not purchase off Steam, that's for sure.
Game is a work of art, masterful writing. ZAUM on the other hand should be visited by luigi mangione for financially ruining the real developers of this game.
Game itself? Very Disco, very good. 11/10, one of best if not best stories in games I have played
Means of capital as CEO of ZA/UM destiny studio and stabbing creators of world and game in their backs? Not very Disco. Don't buy a game if you want to support it's creators
Disco Elysium is a point-and-click detective adventure game in a low fantasy world featuring characters from all walks of life. The game parallels real world ideologies and conditions in a twisted but hilarious way.
This is the most well written game I've ever played.
This game might be triggering if you find yourself on the brink of post-left pessimism. That said, only revolutionary optimism can keep you going (in the game and in life).
It took me a long time to get around to this game. There is just so 'much' to this game that it threw me off at first, but I finally finished it. There is no better game. It is devastating and beautiful. A tragic tale that forces you into the center of all the shit and makes you want to crawl out yourself. For yourself. Everyone should play this game, everyone should love this game.
Do not buy this game on steam, I hope I bought it before the creators were fucked over by their company and I hope they got the money the deserve, but apparently they've been betrayed and are no longer receiving funds here. Fuck that company, the creators are pure artists. Capitalism has fucked the Communists. Pour one out.
Basically a choose-your-adventure book combined with a political science and philosophy textbook... on super drugs. The game is essentially 100% dialogue, so don't come in expecting any RPG/strategy mechanics or anything action-based. If you don't mind a dialogue heavy experience, this game is a massive recommend. The writing is immaculate, and you have a lot of interesting choices in dialogue as the player as well. The player's attributes do matter in terms of succeeding in some checks, but they are far more important in influencing the dialogue you get and can say. The character writing is also great. Also, the game is drowning in political themes and discussion. If you like substantive critical analysis and discussion of politics and ideology, you will love this game.
I wish there were more games like this, but nothing seems to come close. Maybe that's part of its charm. This is a one of kind game.
Aside from the mess with the developing company, Disco Elysium is hands down one of the best RPG games I have ever played. The writers must be a mix of genius scholars, and hilarious comedians. Even after playing it multiple times, I found that each playthrough brought entirely new things.
This is the best game in the art world.
A game about art and heart taking a stand again corporate brutal-ism draws an unfortunate parallel in the real world.
Do not buy it, the company fired the guys who made it, cancelled the sequel and harasses the remaining staff.
“What remains at ZA/UM is a cold, careless company where managers wage war against their own creatives, where artistry is second to property, and where corporate strategy is formed by an arrogant disdain for their own audience.” - Dora Klindžić
"Ït's the people on top - the motherf*****s in sailing shows and bowties - that f****D HARRY, f****d Kim, f****d Robert, Rostov, Helen, Olga, Cash, f****d Elysium, f****d me and you. They are not artists, they are professional f****s."
ZA/UM will forever stay a one-game studio. The individuals of ZA/UM, the cultural movement, have left the corporate body behind like the King Cobra slithering out of its' dead skin.
Remember, we promised:
ONE DAY I WILL RETURN TO YOUR SIDE
Wow! What a game!
It starts off pretty slow, but once I got into the game, I was really into it! Like a (Dick Mullen) book you can't put down.
The game feels very thorough with a vast amount of dialogue and good voice acting, a lot of which is very amusing to listen to. There are so many choices that affect dialogue options and have consequences way later in the game. You can go with anything from trying to present yourself as a functional human being, to straight up an unhinged cop trying to solve a murder case.
I really felt like I was forging my own path, which makes me curious how different choices could've altered parts of the game.
The game paints up a fascinating world with plenty of lore explained as you explore it, and it kept surprising me with its length without overstaying its welcome!
I recommend it to anyone who doesn't mind a slow-paced game with a lot of dialogue and talking. There's not a lot of action. Instead the game brings a nice narrative experience where you feel like what you say and do matters.
I admit, I've procrastinated on writing this review. Part of that is the length of the game. Disco Elysium isn't a long game, per se, but it's long enough that I had to find time to play it from start to finish. Part of it is my own schedule. I played this game in November, during which I also did NaNoWriMo and wrote a full novel in a month, so, y'know, busy. Most of that procrastination, though, is me being intimidated by this review and what I can add to a discourse that has, at this point, been thoroughly had. Most elements have been picked apart by reviewers more adept than I, and the pure gameplay elements I usually discuss seem a bit meaningless beside the overall picture Disco Elysium presents. There is a conversation around this game, it's been had, and I am late to it, stumbling and stuttering as I struggle to interject a thought already long since said.
But I'm still here. I'm still writing about it. Because maybe there is something more to say.

For the precisely no one who is unfamiliar with Disco Elysium, yet still reading my reviews for some reason, Disco Elysium is a detective RPG. You play as Harry Dubois, an amnesiac detective tasked with solving the murder of a mysterious hanged man. He is joined by his partner, Kim Kitsuragi, as he investigates the murder, rediscovers himself, and reshapes the future of the district of Martinaise.
Disco Elysium is a non-violent (mostly) RPG, creating a fairly distinct style of gameplay. Rather than investing in combat skills or weapons, players invest in ways for Harry to approach the world and the thoughts he has about it. A player might choose to invest heavily in empathy at the expense of logic, or in pounding athleticism rather than perception. The choice, as the game's tagline suggests, is entirely what sort of cop the player wants to be, and how they choose to interact with the world around them.
Disco Elysium is also almost entirely text-based. While Harry does move around a beautiful landscape, the problems he faces and barriers he must overcome are text-based, using a set of invisible dice to resolve whether he has the skill to overcome a particular challenge. His interactions with the world are based on the conversations he has and what he says, with the player's choices informing who he ultimately becomes.
There's a lot within Disco Elysium that makes it clear why it's held in such high esteem. Its writing is some of the best writing in video games, with fleshed-out character after fleshed-out character filling Harry's world. Kim Kitsuragi alone is one of the best companions in the grand canon of video games, and he is one of many, many characters in Revachol. The world is lush and lived-in, and the ideas interesting to engage with. The history of the world is as much a character as any of the people, and Harry's grappling with it and placing himself within it as compelling as any relationship he builds with other people.
Similarly, the very feeling of playing the game is phenomenal. Both its artistic style and music do an incredible job of building the world and its emotion. The plaintive horns of British Sea Power hit me every single time I entered the square outside the Whirling-in-Rags, and I kept being delighted by it.
The sum of Disco Elysium's parts work together beautifully to create a masterful experience. The whole is greater than that sum, but even then, it's with the knowledge that each individual part is itself a masterpiece.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3378373893
The puzzle with Disco Elysium, then, is more of a meta one. This is a game with universal acclaim, that everyone agrees is a modern classic. And yet, despite that acclaim and despite the real desire on the part of the game-buying public for more Disco Elysium, ZA/UM has not produced another game. There is no true sequel to Disco Elysium. Indeed, ZA/UM itself has splintered, with the devs and writers responsible for Disco Elysium scattering out to a variety of new studios and a variety of new projects. Much of this splintering is specifically because of the success of Disco Elysium.
In many ways, the story of ZA/UM reflects the story of Harry Dubois. They were good at what they did, and they fell apart because of it. Also there were probably blonde ladies smelling of apricots involved, but I can't confirm that part.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3378374198
This is not to say that there are no successors to Disco Elysium, or that it hasn't had a lasting impact. Instead, it's fair to say that what made Disco Elysium so successful is also what makes it hard to reproduce, and arguably means its greater impact on games will be minimal, even while it remains one of the greatest games of all time.
There are successors to Disco Elysium, games that likely owe their existence to the ground Disco Elysium broke. Games like Citizen Sleeper are very much games in the same vein as Disco Elysium, with a rich world explored through text, and a layered, living backstory that needs to be understood for the story to make sense. However much I love these games, though, they don't have a large impact on the industry. Instead, they remain indie darlings and cult favourites, games that everyone who plays them agrees are amazing, but whose success is based on criteria that don't appeal to a more general audience.
Disco Elysium has a long tail, but it is a shallow one, lapping up against games that might never have otherwise succeeded, but drenching them when it does find them.
This is the conversation that still remains about Disco Elysium. It's this conversation about its legacy, why it's complex, and why it's shallow. It's that conversation about what it takes to move the needle in an industry consolidating around the most profitable ventures to the exclusion of games like this one, and how, even when a game like Disco Elysium is successful, it's almost an act of self-sabotage.
Disco Elysium is an incredible game. I wish there were more like it, but equally, I understand why there aren't.

If you enjoyed this review, check out my other reviews and my curator page. Thanks for reading!
A cynical and beautiful and hilarious and heart-wrenching game with no flaws but its management. Don't support this game, don't spend money on it but play it in whatever way you can. The creative minds behind this game will not get compensated if you pay for this game, only the greedy studio will.
To be honest i don't write a lot of reviews but this game, wow it honestly blew my mind! When i first played it i didn't know what to expect and it can be hard to figure out at first but after a while you get the hang of it. The Characters are so unique and fleshed out its crazy. every character has its own personality and it so great. The main character is also so good! Gotta give this game a 9/10 for its storyline!
Good but weird. Its hard to describe what it's like without actually playing it. Its enjoyable but it feels like there should be more to it. Story is very interesting and engaging! The gameplay systems are super interesting if you go and read them all for world-building. Sadly, they are not as engaging in practice. Traversal is ass, straight up.
SAVE EVERY TIME YOU MAKE A DECISION. There is a very minor bug every once in a while if the game has been on for a couple hours. It makes it to where you can't do anything but move, and interactions wont work.
I'll keep this brief.
I like the idea. Very very much.
But JUST can't stand the execution.
The game is very morbid, very damp, very raw and it made me feel like trash. The internal and all dialogue, in fact, are very, very well written, don't get me wrong, but it's just so depressing to read and listen to the musings of a degenerative mind that.. I have enough of that in my own life.
This is coming from someone who likes high difficulty levels and challenges and I really like the setting of depressive worlds, but this game is for masochists.
No judgement. No rating, play at your own risk, I know it's highly regarded, but for sure this isn't for everyone.
Oh yeah, don't buy this game.
True art in video game fashion. Long before development on this game started, long before the developer company was created, Elysium was conceived from a teenager who created his own DnD world to play with his friends. As an adult he became an author, writing about the world he'd created, only to see that his work wasn't successful. His children told him it's because he's writing books, and nobody wants to read books anymore. They told him that he should make a game. ZA/UM, when it was established, was comprised of that same group of kids playing DnD whom afterwards became an art collective; they came together to bring Elysium to life.
I genuinely feel like the fact this game exists is a miracle in itself.
This game sets out to accomplish many different things in one package and it succeeds at 95% of it: writing, artwork, music, story, world building & lore, voice acting, and more I must be forgetting. The further you get into this game, the more you understand, the better it all gets. This game wasn't at it's best when it first came out, but the Final Cut had a lot of rewriting that pushed the game into a better direction. Before the og devs were legally strongarmed out, they revised and worked to make this game perfect as they could. This is an experience that everyone is going to have a different understanding of. I don't want to say much because it is intended that you know nothing going into this, I wouldn't reccomend looking at the steam videos either. This game is truly special, and we'd be lucky to see another like it in our lifetimes. We'll see what the four diasporas have to offer, but Elysium is finished. Gaming's greatest one hit wonder. Pirate it.
This game is a work of art that should absoutly be played by everyone however i can not reccamond people offically buy it like I did. The game was stolen from its origional creators by people defrauding company funds to buy a controlling share and then booting the people who actually made this. Buy from shared resources do not give this thing wearing Za/um's corpse money
This game is beautiful, and worth your time.
I will play through this game, which is short relative to other RPGs, every year. Eventually there will be a year that I forget, and will never play this game again. Eventually I will not remember this game, its story, or its characters. I will, however, have been permanently improved by this game.
I cannot imagine any other set of 20 hours being more beneficial than a single playthrough of Disco Elysium.
Plays great on SteamDeck by the way.
Disco Elysium is an RPG game that delineates the detective story of an amnesiac police officer and his partner, Kim Kitsuragi, as they trace the evidence of a hanging corpse over a tree.
Throughout this process, our protagonist gradually recovers his memory regarding his name, background,and the equipment his possesses as a police officer. However, this game strikes a profound chord relating to an economically and culturally melancholic circumstance. Political attitudes such as communism liberalism, monarchism and fascism blend with various social forces like labor union, foreign corporation, government, and international organizations, creating a cultural landscape filled with depression based on fictional historical events and the nostalgic disco of bygone eras, reflecting a pessimistic present and a prosperity ever haunting.
Everyone can cast their own reflections in this hardboiled detective story, resonating with the Leonard Cohen-style songs our protagonist sings (if your are lucky). Ultimately, we return to a depiction of post-Soviet capitalism where human affairs echo Dostoevsky's volumes, as Faulkner wrote,"Between grief and nothing, I will take grief."
A fantastic homage to ttrpgs, point and click adventure games and crime thrillers. The writing and characters are excellent. If you have the patience, I highly suggest it.
Game was stolen from the devs via hostile takeover, the current company is a shell of what it was and they're stealing all the profits.
Although this game contains some novel ingredients like a quite fun internal and external dialogue and character development, I find it over hyped and not very fun to play. The game mechanics are mostly static and stale with the feel of ancient adventure games like Kings Quest or Leisure Suite Larry - with the same amount of frustrating moment when you get stuck and just randomly tries to solve things by walking and clicking...
I LOVE this game SO MUCH but I cannot in my right mind recommend you buy it from za/um knowing the history of its development. I got it on a very good sale when I didn't yet know, so I'm happy I didn't put more money in these people's pockets. for the love of everything, play this game, but NOT from these publishers. seriously, it will change your life. Disco Elysium lives in my mind rent-free now
One of the most unique, replayable, story rich RPG's I've ever played. Everyone should give Disco a whirl. Some of the funniest, most touching, sad, disturbing, screwed up, mind expanding scenes I've ever experienced in a game. Unlike anything else I've ever played. Top five games of all time, honestly. I'll replay this one several more times at the very least, there's just so many things that effect the story in fun ways, especially failed skill checks. Go extreme with your initial build, max out one of the categories. You'll be glad you did.
Really enjoyed the story and concept of the game. Kim for the win!
