It’s a melding pot of eccentric characters, thought-provoking social commentary, and a staggering sense of world and place within its setting. Disco Elysium is a must-play game, and The Final Cut is the best (and only, for many people) way to play it.ĭisco Elysium: The Final Cut is the definitive version of an already brilliant game. For console players who have waited to see what the fuss is about, this version presents the complete picture of why this unique setting and story have earned so much praise. Plus, if you already own the game on PC, The Final Cut is available as a free update. If you’re returning to it, The Final Cut is a great opportunity to try out different choices, pursue different ideologies, and see new branches of the story. No two run-throughs of Disco Elysium are quite the same. Removing any of the minor gripes I had with the original by adding new quests and a full cast of well-voiced characters, The Final Cut elevates Disco Elysium from an already phenomenal RPG to a true must-play masterpiece. It hits on every single one of the marks it sets out to achieve and left me yearning to spend more time in its world. Its twisting plot, cast of memorable characters, and sheer depth of choice combine to create an experience that begs to be savoured. Sure as fuck hoping for another RPG along these lines and in the same setting.ĭisco Elysium is a unique blend of noir-detective fiction, traditional pen-and-paper RPGs, and a large helping of existentialist theory. Not to mention simply depending on whatever build you're doing. Sitting on your skillpoints is good for jacking up skills/getting rerolls on checks but bites you in the ass for the passive checks. Likely because a fair bit of it ends up behind those hidden skill thresholds rather than the big obvious dice rolls. Disco still head and shoulders above everything else for the writing, and the C&C's enjoyable since my first playthrough didn't give a terribly good sense of what I was missing. I'm curious about once I get to the cryptofascist since IIRC he had the absolute fucking worst audio quality in the original release. Voice acting's still feeling mostly positive but there are still a few lines here and there without audio and only about one instance where the audio levels were noticeably different between lines. Similarly, Raphael wasn't able to bring up the cock carousel while that was one of the ongoing highlights of Harry. In day 2 now, either I'm hitting some new content or (MUCH more likely) retarded physical Harry was missing great swaths of game in my first playthrough since now I'm even finding out about the drug smuggling which I had none of before. Random thought-dump after some more hours.
