    I’m conflicted by this, I struggled to like Disco.

      It’s okay to dislike things other people like. And ultimately Metacritic ranking doesn’t mean shit anyway.

      My biggest problem with DE was that I was raised on adventure games like Monkey Island and Quest For Glory. Where you weren’t really role playing, but instead clicking through every dialog option just to see what happens. DE isn’t a game like that. Instead it felt like you’re supposed to choose only the dialog that your character would say, and not necessarily go through every single option. The difference between the classic point and click adventure games just doesn’t quite sit right with me for some reason, so I could never quite get into it.

      From what I saw, it seems like a really cool game. It just wasn’t 100% for me.

        Yes, that’s why it’s called an RPG, which is closer to that.

        Thank you. I never understood why DE felt so tedious to the point that I was happy and relieved the character got killed by the union workers’ leader (which is very early in the game). But now reading your comment, I finally realise the issue.

        I am used to Ace attorney style narratives where I can explore all dialogue options and move on. DE felt tedious because I couldn’t go back after a choice and there are so many of them.

          Yeah Ace Attorney is another great example. After playing hundreds of games where you just choose all the dialog options and laugh at the responses, it’s a bit jarring to play a game where you need to read and pay attention to the dialogue and react in character.

      DE is a great game, just don’t be trapped by the genre. It’s a combat-less RPG, basically. You still RP a character, which conveniently starts with amnesia so you can slot in and RP.
