    Disco Elysium for a 10er. Really, if you’re someone who has even the most passing interest in CRPGs, story-centric games or strong character dialogue, you owe it to yourself to play this. It’s beyond fantastic.

      I’m not going to link directly to any pirated content as I don’t want to break the c rules, but iirc the creators of Disco Elysium literally asked people to pirate the game instead of buying it, as none of the sale currently goes to them, seeing as they were (according to them) unfairly ousted and had lots of money kept from them.

      Disco Elysium is simply just a must have game for any gamer. Even if you don’t normally like the genre, you will like Disco Elysium. The only way you could dislike Disco Elysium, is if you hate incredible writing.

        I got bored of it. I don’t remember laughing at any jokes a single time, and I never felt like the stat build I started out with (one of the game’s presets) ever let me do anything fun.

          Yeah I think saying it’s a must have for any gamer is a bit too much, no game is for literally everyone. Disco Elysium’s humor doesn’t strike me as overly humorous anyway, it’s not really a comedic game, more of a dry chuckle now and then.

          And the fun is really just reading/hearing any of the dialogue or descriptions, it is very well written. You get a lot of different choices depending on the “build” stuff, but it’s really mostly all well written and should be enjoyable if you’re into the style at all
