Started Disco Elysium. I held off for so long because it seemed depressing and the art style didn't appeal, but then it went on sale. Yes, it is pretty depressing but I'm still enjoying it so far. Trying not to look into any information about it so that I can experience it unspoiled.
It's a wonderful game. It might appear depressing at times, but ultimately I think it's a game about hope. Take your time with it, and don't be afraid to be weird. This isn't a game that punishes you for picking wacky dialogue options very often. And don't be afraid to fail checks either, failure is a recurring theme of the game and it's designed with a fail-forward philosophy. Some of my favourite moments actually come from failed checks.
The humor has been an unexpected joy. I'm also enjoying the music!
Yeah it's a very funny game, despite also being serious a lot of the time. It's an impressive balancing act in the writing.
The music is by a band called Sea Power, which Robert Kurvitz managed to convince make the OST! Some absolute bangers on that soundtrack, every time those horns hit when you step out of the Whirling...
