If you’re looking for a game to get lost in this weekend, one of the best role-playing games in recent memory is on sale right now. ZA/UM’s 2019 wonder Disco Elysium is discounted to $30 (was $40) until April 6 on Steam. The innovative and gripping RPG was one of GameSpot’s favorite games of 2019. In addition to the game, the official soundtrack is also marked down to $11.24 (was $15).
Disco Elysium nods to Baldur’s Gate and Divinity: Original Sin with its top-down perspective and dialogue-heavy interactions. Unlike those games, however, Disco Elysium doesn’t feature any combat. It’s an RPG that relies on its masterfully written dialogue to both tell its story and advance its various mechanical and skill systems. You play as a detective who investigates crimes across a lush, hand-painted world filled with interesting characters and ideas.
The game earned a 10/10 in GameSpot’s Disco Elysium Elysium review, with critic David Wildgoose praising the unparalleled writing, brilliant skill system, and gorgeous world. "Disco Elysium is a mad, sprawling detective story where the real case you’ve got to crack isn’t who killed the man strung up on a tree in the middle of town–though that in itself, replete with dozens of unexpected yet intertwined mysteries and wild excursions into the ridiculous, is engrossing enough to sustain the game," he wrote.
