Disco... Elysium. What a game. What a journey. By far the most hours I've put into ANY game on stream since I've started streaming. (And I've played Life is Strange 3 times now). So, why didn't I give it all five stars? What's on my mind? Let's go through that.
Gameplay: There were some confusing moments where I wasn't sure where to go, some visual bugs, barriers that weren't clear for navigation, and some parts that were slower than I thought they should be. The interactions were fun and once I got the hang of it, gameplay speeded up. Definitely some room for dev improvement there, though. The decision mechanics are cool with dice and skill points, but it would've been nice to know what affected what with my gameplay decisions.
Visuals: GORGEOUS hand-painted artwork. The world was interesting to look at and experience and I've never seen anything quite like it.
Soundtrack: There's not a TON of music in-game, but there's enough to set the mood, and that's good. The reason why this rating is so high is mostly due to the VOICE ACTING that's available in the Final Cut edition. Truly immersive, incredible, memorable and worthy of stars. Highly recommend the edition with VA.
Story: It was an interesting, strange and compelling story ALMOST the whole time. Except for the very end when the game was tying up loose ends. I wasn't a huge fan of how the decisions played out and of the ending itself.
