Disco Elysium
Disco Elysium stars a man on fire. At the beginning of the game he has lost his memory, and stumbles through the world in a drunken haze. Over the course of the next few days, you build him back up again. His hopes, desires, skills, and beliefs. He will likely be a beautiful and terrible man, trying very hard to solve a murder. To call Disco Elysium character-driven would be an understatement; the game is character defined. It does not exist without the detective and his partner, Lieutenant Kim Kitsuragi, who happens to be the best deuteragonist in all of video games. If you have any interest in character studies and you haven’t given Disco Elysium a shot, I am all but begging you to give it a try. – RP
