Disco Elysium: The Final Cut
Disco Elysium has been lauded by many as the best-written video game of all time, and they might be right. It is 20-plus hours of totally immaculate prose, filled with the brilliance and tragedy of a broken city in bloom. As an RPG, it also has possibly the best use of a stat system ever developed, turning each skill into a fully developed character with a distinctive voice. Couple this with a legitimately engaging murder mystery—which navigates the local politics of a small, bombed-out, seaside district of the former capital of the world—and you have one of the greatest games of all time. Disco Elysium is a must-play for anyone with even a passing interest in PC role-playing games.
The Final Cut makes it even better. Alongside new art and animation, all 300 characters are now voiced, and four quests cut from the original release have been reimagined as Political Vision Quests.
A Good Match For: Anyone who appreciates great writing and complex, unforgettable characters, plus has a hunger for intrigue and mystery.
Not A Good Match For: Those who need combat mechanics in their RPGs.
