    Didn't see a thread on what seems to be a glorious gem of a game so I decided to make one.



    Just a brief overview of the game from the Dev's website shows that Disco Elysium is pretty ambitious.
    Disco Elysium's features include:
    • A new genre of setting developed for over 15 years in absolute secret. Neither fantasy, alternate history, nor any type of -punk, a novel set in the same world has been dubbed fantastic realism.
    • The most advanced visuals ever made for the isometric perspective. A trick of the trade we call paintshading lets us create a moving contemporary oil painting.
    • A realistic skill system lets you develop original ideas using Conceptual Thinking, tune your nervous system with Electrochemistry, and become a disgrace to the uniform with Composure, a skill that lets you don your disco outfit to the maximum effect.
    • Writing by chronically success-impaired science fiction author Robert Kurvitz and original music by the Mercury prize-winning band British Sea Power.
    • Thought Cabinet, an inventory for thoughts, where you process the ideas you’ve stumbled on. Ideas become fixtures, permanent beliefs you can’t get rid of, even if you want to.
    • Exactly one hundred and twenty-eight times more choice and consequence than previously thought possible in a role-playing video game. This is a world where even the smallest things you say matter.
    Inspired by “Planescape: Torment”, “Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare” and “Kentucky Route Zero”.

    Considering that it is released tomorrow I'm frankly pretty excited to dig into what I believe will become a genre-defining game in the industry.

    And we have a review from one of the only reviewers I trust. Suffice to say "Utterly brilliant." His words, not mine :)
