it looks like an amazing game, I actually tried playing it this weekend, however.. I'm an alcoholic, 3 years sober, I spent two and a half of those three years in rehab, and this game hits very close very hard right from the beginning. I'm probably not ready to play it yet lol
Congratulations on 3 years of sobriety--that is wonderful! Yeah, this game really hits close to home on a lot of issues and I felt horrible at times controlling this poor man. It's a testament to the writing that it hits on so many emotional levels.
@@Zpicismrad You can totally play the game as an ex-alkoholic, trying to remain sober despite your own body telling you to get a drink. And you can even sort-of succeed at that. That's the genius of the game. You really can roleplay there.
Incredible game with a superb story. This game came out at just the right time in my life. I was going through a really hard time with a breakup and child custody battle. Feeling really depressed all the time, I was drinking a lot and taking a lot of substances to cope. So in a way I could really relate to the main character of this game and what he was going through, the "fallen from grace" so to speak and the heart break he was feeling.
I am so with you--it's such a good story and it is an incredible game. Harry is just so relatable, and the characters are so well written that even the oddballs seem relatable! What a game.
I just bought the final cut version on PS4 and was so glad I did. I’m now playing it the first time on hardcore mode and I’m having a blast. The art, the voice acting, story, lore, everything is crafted with love and care. I’m so in love with the game. Highly recommended, a 10/10 masterpiece.
Nice to see you so enthusiastic about this game! I have the Final Cut edition, I just need to find time to play it. Nice review :) P.S.: I've heard good stuff about Citizen Sleeper.
A game with vast, oceanic soul such as Disco Elysium doesn't appear often, which is precisely why I find it curious how both it and another game of equal strength in writing and design were both released in 2019, the other one being Pathologic 2. To me Disco Elysium is up there as one of all time greats and for which I have a deep connection to, reminding me of so many events in my life all the way from early childhood days around the Baltic region to 20-something old club / raving days to the beats of Scooter's HARDCORE. :,D (DE just reused their songs' lyrics as characters' dialogue, lmao.) In comparison Pathologic 2 was a slow burn, even when I had played (at least tried to) the original nearly two decades ago. It's a subtle game which leaves you feeling disturbed by something abstract. Later the more you discover about the obfuscated history, philosophy, psychology and hmm... esoteric concepts the more you understand what the game was going for.
@@DrIncompetent Give it a try (or two as it may seem frustrating at first) when you get a chance. :) It's brutally difficult even with the lowest modifiers, definitely a survival and horror type of game. Unlike Disco Elysium you're on a real clock to solve a murder and everything else that comes with it, so on one playthrough you won't get the full picture. There's no need to play the original. Pathologic 2 is both a reboot and a sequel, but the core game and story remain the same. Also your own character death won't end the game and that's all I can say about that. :D
@@DrIncompetent Hint Hint: The people who made the game (& I mean ALL who made it) no longer work there so the money is not going to them but the ones who kicked them out.
I've recently fallen in love with this game. I love the art style, all the different voices in his head are amazing. Whoever did the voice for his thoughts should win an award for this. Plus I'm a recovering alcoholic with 3 and a half years sober so I can relate to the main character sometimes much more than I'd like to admit haha
I am a person who grew in communist Poland and saw the damage communism done to the people. I saw the struggle, poverty, food stamps, lying politicians, propaganda. And then I saw hard and painful transition into democracy and free market economy. This game really resonates with me as it brings back so many memories of my troubled youth.
I'm streaming a "bad man" playthrough right now. It's not perfect (the writer's biases show) but I'd give it an A-. The writing, despite bias, is amazing.
@@DrIncompetent Yeah but I already did that one! LMAO! It's not easy but it is rewarding. Especially when you get the sobriety thought. Save a slot for it.

100% agree--it is soo good!

Haha, you will like this game when you find the time!
The twisted artwork in the Thought Cabinet area is very much like the artwork of Ivan Le Lorraine Albright.
Yes! Good call!

Wow, thank you for recommending Pathologic 2! I hadn't heard of this one before!

You should get the game by how the people who made it wants you to get the game.
I definitely agree that the people who made it want you to get the game!

@@Zeboki fuck i really hope they get the rights back one day i can see a sequel being great
I played this. I'm wondering about trying Citizen Sleeper, but I'm not sure if it's similar enough that'd I'd enjoy it too.
I have been meaning to look at Citizen Sleeper!
i’m the opposite. citizen sleeper is good imo and i enjoyed my time with it , looking into this game now
Reading Hamlet is fun. Awesome review, thank you.
Haha, it is! It's not a happy story... but it's good! haha
You say you recently resumed playing it, is it going to be on the channel?
Yes! Videos will be publishing soon with my resumed save ;D

It's just an incredible game. I agree so much on the voice acting. It's the best I've ever heard.

Wow, that's an amazing perspective--thank you for sharing. This game is simply fantastic.
My review: It's a genre defining masterpiece. Yes, buy it.
Haha, right there with you! It's just incredible.

Haha, nice! I'm trying to make Harry a good man again... It's... challenging haha

What do you mean by biases? Lol
Ugh did you just reveal a spoiler?
I don't think so--I tried not to, at least ;)
