Deal | “Powerful, poetic, haunting, and hilarious”—Narrative-driven RPG with rich storyline and high replayability gets a 75% discount on Steam

Many critics have praised Disco Elysium to be the gold standard for RPG writing. Unlike the likes of The Elder Scrolls and Fallout, you're not the proverbial chosen one who will save the world from imminent ruin. It also lacks some tropes found in many other RPGs, and that's one of the reasons why it is held in such a high regard.

In Disco Elysium, you wake up in a trashed hotel room with a splitting headache and no memory of the events that led up to it. Even figuring out your real name is an actual in-game quest, and it isn't revealed until later in the game. You're tasked with solving a murder with your trusty partner, Kim Kitsuragi. Its RPG elements come from how you decide to tackle a problem.

The game takes places in the fictional city of Revachol, which is where you'll be spending a bulk of your time. If Death Stranding is a walking simulator, Disco Elysium is a talking simulator. Interacting with NPCs and objects is tantamount to progress, and you'll find an interest cast of characters scattered around Revachol.

Other games usually keep politics on the down low. On the other hand, it is the centrepiece of Disco Elysium, where your political ideology will determine how your game plays out. And yes, there's an achievement called "The World's Most Laughable Centrist" for those who want to tread the middle path.

Disco Elysium-The Final Cut is essentially a mid-gen refresh of Disco Elysium. It adds voiceovers to characters that didn't previously have a dedicated audio track. You can buy it now on Steam for $9.99, 75% off its asking price. The promotion is valid until June 19. Disco Elysium goes on sale often, and SteamDB shows its price had dropped to 90% on one occasion.
