The fate of Disco Elysium 2 is uncertain, but these games make up for it

Three years after the release of Disco Elysium, and “Disco-like” isn’t officially its own subgenre, but the comparisons to other games keep piling up. The sad murder mystery of ZA/UM’s RPG, which is actually much more than that, shaped our expectations for just how deep video game writing and player choice can go, and now there’s a whole host of games that also want to try it.

Disco Elysium is a game about writing in a way few RPGs try to be. The conversations you have with the people of Revachol are the main ways you interact and learn about the game. You accumulate skill points that change the way you approach the central plot and the type of side activities you do. All Disco Elysium systems want you to be involved in their world and think critically about the people who inhabit it.
