Disco Elysium game review: suitable for players who like reasoning, slow-paced, artistic games

Disco Elysium won many nominations at last year's TGA (The Game Award) and finally won the four awards of best independent game, best role-playing game, best narrative and best new independent game manufacturer. It is unexpectedly the biggest winner in 2019. Even though the game Disco Elysium is already famous, it has achieved outstanding results and recognition, but to be fair, Disco Elysium is not a game for all players. It requires greater patience.

Although Disco Elysium is a slow-paced game, it does not just seek slowness, but adopts a kind of slowness with artistic beauty. In the process of playing, you will not be bored with this "slowness". Players will play a drunken frustrated detective in the game, and walk with their partners to explore the truth behind the case step by step. This sensation of stripping cocoons, the huge amount of text, and the BGM, a perfect harbor town, a scene where players can be immersed, and a touching story are shaped.

As a role-playing game, Disco Elysium inherits the characteristics of "probability" and "random". Many events are triggered by the players' "intelligence", "spirit", "physique", " The four-dimensional attributes of "skill" are closely related. To determine whether an event can be successfully triggered, Disco Elysium uses a dice roll mechanism. It is the uncertainty that adds a layer of charm to the game, so players need to use their brains again to find another way out when they hit the wall.

The slow rhythm, artistic atmosphere, oil painting style pictures and the psychedelic style of music seem to make Disco Elysium very serious. But when you think about it carefully, the game also contains a lot of black humors.

Yes, Disco Elysium is very good, but as described above, this is also a slow-paced game that requires patience. So for players who like reasoning and pay attention to the game atmosphere, Disco Elysium is a very worthwhile work. For players who prefer fast-paced and do not want to deal with a lot of mysterious and text descriptions, Disco Elysium is not recommended.

It took 15 years to conceive the world view and 5 years to actually produce it. After countless modifications and adjustments, Disco Elysium finally appeared in front of players in a nearly complete form. The gameplay and kernel presented by it can not be compared with any game on the market. It has aroused the interest of countless people, but also caused a lot of controversy.

Thanks to the low-cost presentation of text, Disco Elysium has prepared massive content for players. Every place that players explore in the game, and every NPC that they talk to may bring new dialogues and events to players, and players have to respond through a large number of choices. The most recommended way to play Disco Elysium is not to use SL except death, and accept all the consequences. If you really play this game, you will get a rare, deep role-playing feeling.
