Rate top gamesDisco Elysium was such a pleasant surprise to me this year. Video games with strong narratives and character development are still such a rare thing. The mechanics of the game are intertwined with the narrative in a way that makes both feel more essential. I can't wait to see and experience what developer ZA/UM creates next.

My all-time favorite game. Brilliantly written and filled with incredible moments, a living city full of stories to tell and tremedous character development. Artstyle is fantastic and story is insanely well put together.
I liked the writing, I liked the style, in the end what didn´t let me finish this game was that the skill system and way the skill checks are distributed can softlock you in a critical narrative moment. I wasn´t too hyped about the proposition of reloading the same check until i hit the 8% chance so I stopped about midway through the game. Still I'd recommend it for an interesting layered take on an interesting mix of point and click mixed with wacky-political RPG Elements.
