Whatever you decide to do, your decisions compound throughout the game, rippling outwards as you continue to explore the thought-provoking RPG. The kind of detective you play is up to you, as are the choices you make in pursuit of solving the case. Memorable, challenging dialogue peppers the game's encounters - all of which run off of a dice-rolling system based on your stats. Taking place in an alternate reality reminiscent of our own, Disco Elysium grounds its characters in a bleak post-war setting.
An isometric RPG, Disco Elysium has you take on the role of an amnesiac detective as he attempts to solve a murder in the seaside district of Martinaise in the fictional city of Revachol. Political and personal ideologies of all kinds are interrogated over the course of the story, and the RPG doesn't pull any punches.Īs well as being one of the best Mac games, Disco Elysium is arguably one of the best games ever made. Disco Elysium manages to provide a gritty, grounded experience while also addressing big philosophical questions.
