Our take
Disco Elysium drops you into the mind of a amnesiac cop in a strange city, and almost every interaction is a skill check on your own thoughts. There is almost no combat — just ideas, voices, and consequences.
It is a reading game in the best sense: a slow, brilliant novel you steer. Play it on PC where the text and choices get the screen they deserve.
