Your dialogue options are often funny, hilarious, tragic, as you spend most of your time asking questions and desperately avoid answering them. Disco Elysium is a game about micro and macro politics, and it wears its viewpoints on its sleeve, making it so much more engaging to explore than other games that desperately attempt to avoid saying anything at all.
Each one has their perspective on the crime, you, and the world, and it's truly magical sinking into roundabout conversations and philosophical debate in the game. But there are dozens of other characters to meet as well. You’ll be accompanied through most of the adventure with Kim, a straight-laced fellow detective whose relationship blossoms or withers depending on whether you can resist your electrochemical urges and complete your case. And every line delivered is done so in an interesting way. Instead, they each have the same voice, making them nevertheless feel like fractured parts of your whole psyche, but not as unique as they once did.īut every other character feels right. Players who already played through the game might have already imagined the different voices for these aspects, like the cold reasoning of Logic, the barely contained screaming of authority, and the distracted otherworldliness of Shivers. And while the narrator does a fantastic job of bringing each to life, it feels like they could have each had their own unique voices like the Limbic System and Ancient Reptilian Brain. Every aspect of your personality in Disco Elysium is broken down into divided personas that speak to you while exploring, detecting, or conversing with others. The biggest let overwhelming new audio experience is your internal monologues. The voices alone let you soak in more of the world without any more effort, with names and places that might otherwise be remembered as French-looking words that you can’t possibly attempt given new life and accent with the characters.
Disco elysium trailer update#
This update comes free for anyone that already owned the game on Steam, and it should be immediately played again for veterans of the game. Each character, already remarkably fleshed out and often frustratingly kept at arm’s length, now feels even more emotive and alive. Playing Disco Elysium again feels like an entirely new experience. It feels like an unusual choice to keep in the censored words rather than find a better line, but it does keep the characters that use them as unlikable as you first remember. But while the voices might have changed slightly, the script remains the same, even keeping the now censored slurs in. If you particularly liked his grating, shrill insults, you’ll have to endure a slightly more diluted experience with Disco Elysium The Final Cut. Most notably, Cuno the drugged-out child and a Martinaise wide tormentor. There are some changes, however, as some voice actors weren’t able to replay their roles.
There is gravitas for the poetic descriptions, emotion from the heartbreaking stories, and perfect comedic timing for the funny bits. The Final Cut is completely voiced, with even the aspects of yourself voiced by the narrator, and the voice work is truly sublime. The rest was written, in beautiful prose, for the player to absorb. The original version of Disco Elysium had many voice actors, but with over one million lines of dialogue, the studio opted to have the beginning of conversations voiced. The music in Disco Elysium, orchestrated by British Sea Power, is as powerful, thematic, and powerful as ever, but it’s the voices that make a real differing impression. It sounds nothing like the original, though.
This isn’t some huge graphical and gameplay overhaul like the Final Fantasy VII Remake, of course. It feels similar to, at least in a literal sense, even if you’re playing on console. The Final Cut, however, isn’t a mistake at all.ĭisco Elysium: The Final Cut looks much like the original that came out at the end of 2019 on Steam. And it is a game about the player making mistakes, having joy, and release in failed attempts at remembering co-workers and solving crimes.
