I keep giving up on Disco Elysium. What makes it so great in your opinion? Hopefully you can awake the Disco beast in me, because I really want to like it
I think it’s mostly about the atmosphere, the vibe and immersing yourself in the world of Martinaise. Don’t “over-game” Disco Elysium. Go with the flow and see where the exceptional story will carry you to the heart of Disco. Or the apocalypse. Or Communism, regret, la Responsibilité. There are a lot of fun things to discover.
Never ever save scum. You are playing a desolate husk of something that was a cop years ago, so you live through your fuckups. At least for the first run. Then and only then will you ride the Idiot Doom Spiral until the end.
See you on the other side of the pale, fellow second yefreitor. Officer on scene.
You’re not alone. When I played it I gave up on it after 8 hours. It felt like reading a book with no plot. Nothing really happened during my play time. Except for random deaths that forced me to save scum all the time.

Evolutionary deaths and genuine internal character conflict. It’s one of the VERY few games where you can game over due to ennui.
It’s probably the single most complex dialog tree in gaming even before you take into account it’s wholly original leveling system.

The art style is nice though.
