I'll be blunt: Disco Elysium is one of those games that'll hook you from the get-go. Its unique blend of gritty realism and inner-world exploration is a game-changer. I used to be skeptical, but after playing it, I get why people are so obsessed. What's impressive is that every player will find their own meaning in it.

Now, let's talk about the protagonist, Harry. He's got some serious skills, but he's also got his flaws. I mean, who wouldn't want to be a tough cop with a chip on their shoulder? But the more I played, the more I started to feel for him. He's just a regular guy who's a bit down on himself, and his inner voices are constantly arguing with each other. It's actually kind of endearing.

One of the game's highlights is the genuine unexpected and hilarious moments. Like, have you seen the karaoke scene? It's either awkward or hilarious, depending on how you play it. And Harry's antics? They're just ridiculous. I love the absurd thoughts and ridiculous dialogue options. It's intriguing and surprising, and I want to know more about what else the game can throw at me.

Of course, no game is perfect. One of the downsides of Disco Elysium is the sheer amount of text and debatable replay value. I mean, the writing style is literary, and the creators and translators have done a great job – there's a lot to think about, but it can be exhausting. But hey, it's a small price to pay for a game that's this good.

So, what does this game mean to me? For me, it's more than just a whodunit – it's about friendship and self-discovery. What sets the game apart is how we craft the protagonist in our own image. Even when Harry learns more about his troubled past, it's up to the player to choose: hold on to the past or move forward.
