In terms of funness and having agency. I tired to put a tie on and failed a rng check for that. Then I tried to get a guy out of a tree and failed a rng check for that. And then the game said “sniff bath salts and you won’t vomit when getting the guy out of the tree.” So I went and scoured the area for bath salts for like 15mins, finally got them. Then went back to get the guy out of the tree and failed anyway because it doesn’t always work. Not to worry though. I just have to wait another 6hrs before I can try again to presumably fail again.
Believe it or not I actually like to make decisions and deal with the consequences of those decisions rather than just fail arbitrarily at objectives the game tells me I should be doing.
Disco Elysium was aesthetically pleasing and I loved the vibes but the game sucked.
In terms of difficulty or emotional/mental load? Disco Elysium is pretty fucked up but kinda awesome when you get into it IMO.

I got about as far as you… Might go at it again because the FOMO on the hype is big. The writing felt like reading a thesaurus…
I didn’t mind the writing. Thought the hyper stylised nature of it clashed with the “you can’t do anything and always fail” type gameplay though.
Think of it as a dice rolling tabletop RPG
