Bethesda's latest can't help but feel shallow by comparison.

If you're interested in politics, existentialism, the human condition, coping with depression, addiction, trauma and loss and want to read a novel about these themes told through the story-telling medium of an isometric RPG then it is the game for you.

Despite claiming to be an "isometric CRPG detective game about solving a murder mystery" on its About page Disco Elysium is actually none of those things at the end of the day, and if those things are what you want you'll probably end up disappointed.

TBH, it’s a better depiction of actual police work than we get in most games.
