Bethesda's latest can't help but feel shallow by comparison.

LOL, I have never heard of Disco Elysium. Must not be my type of game.

It is a really good game with a lot of depth, definitely a little more restrictive/slower paced - you’re mostly investigating a mystery not fighting and collecting tons of loot - and maybe not for everyone but very unique and detailed and funny.

If you're interested in politics, existentialism, the human condition, coping with depression, addiction, trauma and loss and want to read a novel about these themes told through the story-telling medium of an isometric RPG then it is the game for you.

Despite claiming to be an "isometric CRPG detective game about solving a murder mystery" on its About page Disco Elysium is actually none of those things at the end of the day, and if those things are what you want you'll probably end up disappointed.

TBH, it’s a better depiction of actual police work than we get in most games.

It's literally rated as one of the best RPGs of all time. Nothing quite like it. If you enjoy CRPGs, it's a Buy.
