Disco Elysium: The Final Cut Reviews
Professional reviews from gaming critics
Traversing the mind of your character is as much a plot as the case you’re trying to solve, and once you’re immersed into the world of Revachol, you’ll be struggling to leave.
Disco Elysium's biggest victory is its ability to remain engaging after thirty or so hours of reading what's equivalent to a multi-novel wordcount. Full of
Disco Elysium has always been a game about making mistakes; in fact, it is an entire tapestry of mistakes. It revolves around a character who has made every mistake possible and his attempt to redeem them, forgive them, or embrace them. It is a game set in a world after a series of political mistakes, one where no one, not even the winners, are particularly happy. And it is a game about the player making mistakes, having joy, and release in failed attempts at remembering co-workers and solving crimes. The Final Cut, however, isn’t a mistake at all.
With full voice acting of over one million lines of dialogue and new quests, there is nothing quite like Disco Elysium and its new Final Cut. PSXE reviews D ...
Disco Elysium: The Final Cut is the definitive version of an already brilliant game. It’s a melding pot of eccentric characters, thought-provoking social commentary, and a staggering sense of world and place within its setting. Its main narrative might fumble in its conclusion, but everything you’ll experience before that is some of the best stuff you can find in this kind of RPG.
Disco Elysium is an incredible game that, when given some tweaking, runs beautifully on the Steam Deck.
Almost perfect if not for the nitty-gritty. If it’s quite there but not enough to push the boundaries, it’s still an awesome game.
The new content added to Disco Elysium: The Final Cut is exactly what is needed to turn a great game into an amazing one.
Disco Elysium is one of those games that you think about even when you're not playing it. Even just a few hours in, you'll find that this strange and at times absurd role-playing title has claimed a space in your mind. In truth, it's like nothing else on the market — and reviews like this one don't really do it justice. But, this is our job, and so we're going to try and explain what makes Disco Elysium: The Final Cut a modern classic.
In conclusion, due to its origin and the number of words constantly displayed on screen Disco Elysium – The Final Cut sometimes comes across more as a visual novel than anything else. It is rare for a game to have such historical depth and deeply complex narrative and therefore it is very impressive, although it should be stated this is not a game for the faint hearted or something that non-fans of this genre will probably want to take on. Some of the subject matter is fairly grim and destructive behaviour is contained within the story but it is not glorified as there are penalties to be pai...
Like a good book, it's a game built on a wonderfully deep story.
There will be essays written on Disco Elysium. This is one of those games that will be studied in universities as Citizen Kane is studied in film and D. H. Lawrence’s work is all-but unavoidable if you study literature. It’s not necessarily the most outright entertaining thing the medium has ever produced, but it’s an important work that explores the boundaries and potential of video games, while also having the nuance and layers it needs to challenge players to think beyond the joy they get from pressing buttons. Even if you have to play the Switch port, as inferior as it is, you should…
