@@kdc1776 Think you can find the links to the interviews I read through Robert Kurvitz' (project lead) Wikipedia page and by just googling around relevant terms.
Logen M the concept has been in the making that long. Not the actual game. Meaning the guy who had the idea to make Disco got the idea for it 13 years ago. They made the game in about 3 years.
Some guy left a steam review that said, "I finally found a game that mirrors what a disgusting piece of sh*t I am in real life. 10/10". If that doesn't sell you on it then this game is probably not for you.
No one is commenting how artistically bleak it looks. Or rather, they are busy commenting on how the game has personalities that disagrees with you. Which in itself is a great hook. But the art direction is very much a big plus.
Finally! Someone breaking the same rpg stat tropes that's been overused for the past 20 years. This game should not fall under the radar, and instead garner huge attention. Awesome job, Karak.
I think it's cool how the game takes the cliche and just ups it to another level, where it just becomes ridiculous which in turn coincides perfectly with the tone and the story this game goes for.
Allan Kaliel the purpose is so that the player can learn what they call their currency, & how it’s measured. Even if it is a trope, I feel like this is one of the more clever ways to integrate it into a story. Even asking questions about things I already know (like politics) yields interesting answers, as things are much different in this game world.
Also make sure that if you want to see the videos you click the bell and set it to all on the subscribe button. Looks like youtube screwed me again lol. *edit also I should have said all settings maxed* when discussing FPS. www.patreon.com/AngryCentaurGaming
This is an extremely good review for a game I was on the fence about getting. I must admit that the first words being "Planescape Torment" made me reach for my wallet instantly, but every point you raised afterwards just comforted this first impression. Thank you for not letting me miss this opportunity !
This really has to be ones of the strongest RPG experiences in years... Damn, what a good surprise. The industry, has magic still, this still can happen. Inland Empire: I see glory, in the future, Revachol will rise.
@ never heard of it either and I keep pretty current on new releases, esp in turn based games and this supposedly has such combat, though sadly Karak somehow misses describing the turn based systems at play. Well he compares it to some classic isometric crpg games but hopefully its a bit more like divinity in that
XWolven This may be wrong but I’ve heard there is no traditional turn based combat. Instead it is more like Monkey Island where the fights are all dialogue-based. Please someone correct me if this is wrong but I’ve heard a few people mention this
Disco Elysium is a table top RPG without the combat that's usually associated with the genre. Combat comes in the form of an interactive novel instead of hacking away at an enemy's health bar like you would in a traditional RPG. It's very similar to Planescape Torment, if you've ever played it!
I don't understand why it took me so long to realise, but now I can imagine that the MC was trying to hang himself during the night before the game starts, but was so drunk that he only managed to put the tie on the fan and proceeded to fall and pass out on the floor after that.
You can literally hear in Karak's voice the excitement and how much he likes the game. I dont think that I have ever heard Karak so excited talking about the game in the review, I guess I gotta check it out soon.
Dude, his awesome beard gives him twice the reviewing power. Some say that a bird lives inside his beard...its believed to be Ho-oh , the legendary pokemon.
@Matthew Anthony Civvie's great, but I don't know if I would call a lot of what he does "reviews". He pretty much takes you through the entire game, and most of the games he plays have been out for quite some time
Daijodan what are *you* talking about? Whenever he talks about graphics, he gives a downright thorough rundown of hardware oftentimes, & is equally knowledgeable when it comes to audio. This isn’t the best example, but whenever it’s exceptionally well done or poorly done, he seems to understand the technical aspect that resulted in said flaw. It’s actually pretty unique from other review channels, in that regard.
"It can feel almost just like a visual novel" hell yes... I felt like I was stuck inside of some kinda Van Gogh meets Asterios Polyp mixed with Papers Please and RDR2 in some kind of perverse Freudian fever dream ALSO on LSD. I can't really describe it better than you did. I'm about a day in and you got it totally! As far as people's ideals being ripped to shreds... Yes, this game makes fun of you no matter what you believe, and in doing so it offers you valuable insight to conflicting political and religious ideologies. And I do mean VALUABLE. I have a BA in philosophy and have spent countless hours arguing philosophy and religion and politics with people, and this game summarizes all the typical talking points and arguments you will encounter in RL to a creepy level of accuracy! It's so, so good...
Monkey Island, Day of the Tentacle, Indiana Jones and the fate of Atlantis, Lure of the Temptress, Beneath a Steel Sky, Planescape Torment, Baldur's Gate, Disco Elysium. It fits right on the shelf with all these, and more.
I've been waiting on this review in particular. Planescape Torment is my favorite game of all time so hearing all the positive praise that it may be very close to it in terms of writing makes me very happy. I cannot wait to sink my teeth into this tomorrow. Thank you for th review Karak! :D
Not sure if I've ever been so excited for something. Blends my love of literature, solid writing and beautiful world building with the medium of gaming and RPG mechanics. Tomorrow can't come soon enough.
The part where he runs and gives both middle fingers honestly made me laugh more than anything else in my life up till then, this game is written so damn well! Though apparently my cpu doesnt meet the minimum system requirement... hasn't crashed yet
Thank you for reviewing this game. It's right up my alley in books, but never played anything like this before. Never would've read anything about it so thanks for the video.
I love the way you review your content and the fact that you pay attention to how the sound & music is truly a layer that is needed to be discussed but unfortunately not too many reviewers do that! So you got yourself a new subscriber!
Honestly karaks excitement about it on last Fridays podcast sold the game even better than this review. Getting killed by a book because it's too smart for you? What other game does this? I usually don't play topdown rp games like this but I'm very intrigued by its unique everything.
_Psyduck_ absolutely incorrect. I haven’t played one of these types of games since I was 5 or 6, having no clue what I was doing (I was born in ‘91), & it’s made me become incredibly interested in playing more of it’s genre.
I'm watching review on phone and what is interesting to see is that the whole interface layout looks very good and accessible on mobile. I think it was build in mobiles in mind. I think it will be released on Android too some day.
@@warmlycalculated390 I'd say it's battling with Kingdom Come Deliverance for that particular crown. It's a tough fight between two games that I absolutely adore so I'll just go with being grateful that both exist.
I've come to your videos for guidance when buying games for the past few years to get a balanced impression of games, and I have to say that THIS is maybe the best of the dozens I've seen from you. I've not played this game yet (I bought it, and then decided to see if you'd done a review while it was downloading), and the detail into which you go when describing the gameplay has me even more excited to play than I already was. I recommend your channel every chance I get. You deserve more attention for the work you put into these reviews, and I hope that you will continue at the level of quality that you've shown thus far.

@@johannjensson6190 God bless your little socks. Don't ever google it please. It warms my heart to know there is at least one person out there still living in a pre-furry knowledge state. I miss those days, personally.
Very late to this video but ACG, you have the absolute best reviews on YT of any game out there. I have bought games when you rate the game a buy and I have even bought games when you say don’t buy or wait for sale. And the game always matches your review 100%! Thanks for the amazing content. I have been watching since 2019
Been playing for about 8 hours. One of the most original creative game designs I've ever come across. Real pleasure to play. Probably going to be my GOTY. AA is where all the good stuff is happening these days.
What a brilliant varied and fun review. Your one of the best reviewers on youtube and know how to express yourself without becoming repetitive or stale. 😎👍👍👍👍👍👍
I bought the game today without watching this review, and 40 minutes in I'm absolutely in love. When do we gamers get to see the unsettling nature of H.P Lovecraft's unnerving writings, the absolute craziness of a Malkavian in Vampire, the intrinsic attention to detail as in Planescape Torment, and the morally ambiguous and offensive Fallout 2 into one? Sorry, I just really like it so far.
I’ve been watching your video reviews here in the uk for a while and am now subscribed. Your writing is engaging, informative, witty and a real pleasure to listen to. It shows the amount of work you no doubt put into the writing of each one. Keep up the good work that fellow!
Seems like you normally play pc titles but I’d really like a short “is it a good port” type of review for Baldur’s Gate on console. I want to get it but I’ve seen how bad console ports can be control-wise.
I don't really play video games at all, like occasionally i will try random games like portal and last of us ect but i dont think ive ever been more interested in a game than this one! I hope to try it soon, i absolutely love the art style and the themes in it seem hecking cool
today's games, at least the cream of the crop, rival the best films and novels of all time.. gaming is maturing and I encourage any non gamers out there to find what appeals to them and get into the medium asap.. you won't be disappointed
Thank you for the review and I'm definitely a sub now, I just wanted to mention that it would be nice to have timestamps for the different sections of a long-form review like this. Thanks again!
Loved Planescape: Torment, will check this one out tonight. Thanks for the heads up. Now, this game came out of nowhere. Heard nothing about it until it showed up on Steam.
Wasn't on my radar, but now it is. Sinking City and now this. Feels like detective RPG is starting to turn into something of a new sub genre, and I would love more of this clue finding and multi ending type games with well written mystery. I will be buying this now. Thanks ACG!
One problem ==> Game-stopping bugs / glitches + the save system is really weird / wonky:. Start of day 2. Get out of bed & go downstairs. Try to talk to Kim, but nothing happens. I can talk to others, but can't get out of the place, as the front door isn't clickable. Reload. Get out of bed & go downstairs. This time, trying to talk to Kim or anyone else does nothing. Still can't get out of the place, as the front door isn't clickable. Reload. After this, I can only click on 3 places and then, I'm totally stuck & can't click on anything. And I do mean literally anything as "mirror + door (go out) + door (get back in)" = Now I'm stuck in my room. = How the hell can it get worse and even worse, when I reload???.

@@kdc1776 Think you can find the links to the interviews I read through Robert Kurvitz' (project lead) Wikipedia page and by just googling around relevant terms.
The game is an art piece and its creation is the result of inevitability with time
Wait, this game came from Estonia? That's where I come from!
This info makes the game even more awesome :D
Estonia entering the gaming industry with a boom, nice
reinkarnatsioon but this game was 13 years in the making if I heard correctly. That’s insanely Long!
@@GuyLogen well you know with limited resources things take way more time and you got to have a ton of passion
greetings from Poland, Estonian brothers, so many interesting stories to be told coming from Eastern Europe.
this and skype
Logen M the concept has been in the making that long. Not the actual game. Meaning the guy who had the idea to make Disco got the idea for it 13 years ago. They made the game in about 3 years.

No one is commenting how artistically bleak it looks. Or rather, they are busy commenting on how the game has personalities that disagrees with you. Which in itself is a great hook. But the art direction is very much a big plus.
Picked this up yesterday. Played for 10 hours. Had me dying laughing like I never have at a game. Totally immersive. So good
It's like playing a DnD game ran by a DM with multiple personalities that constantly disagree. Looks fun!
I have about 26 hours played and so far this is the best description I've come across.
@@emriesq3096 fwycdyi
It's like playing World of Darkness humans mixed with Everybody is John.
Finally! Someone breaking the same rpg stat tropes that's been overused for the past 20 years.
This game should not fall under the radar, and instead garner huge attention.
Awesome job, Karak.
They broke a lot of RPG tropes but kept in the ridiculous "amnesia" one. I had to roll my eyes when he forgot what the concept of "money" was.
I think it's cool how the game takes the cliche and just ups it to another level, where it just becomes ridiculous which in turn coincides perfectly with the tone and the story this game goes for.

hey man im new to this genre of game but fell in love with this one. Could you suggest some similar titles ?
same
I've started to realize that indie games are the only way to go
@@RealSmokeBoyz i don't think there's a game similar to Disco Elysium. it's revolutionnary really, the only of its kind.
"This game is like Planescape: Torment meets Altered Carbon or Snowcrash."
Alright, I'm definitely getting this.
me too no if or buts about it
Or Fallout 2 meets Fear and loathing in Las Vegas
Yeah, he had me at Planescape: Torment.
Except the writing is 1000 times better than altered carbon
@Andre Hitt Thank you for naming Planescape Torment. That game is so well written it could be an amazing book in itself! Straight Magick!
I've never heard of this game until now. Having said that, I will definitely have to check it out when I get the chance. Thanks as always Karak!
@ never heard of it either and I keep pretty current on new releases, esp in turn based games and this supposedly has such combat, though sadly Karak somehow misses describing the turn based systems at play.

Yup

I bought this game because of this review. Thank you. The game is philosophically profound, mechanically fascinating, and truly fun. 10/10.
Was already excited about this. ACG approval has me even more excited.
This seems like the kind of game that would happen if Hunter S Thompson had lived long enough to make one.
That would have been a blast (game by Hunter S Thompson)!

Why not just play games yourself.
@@slapthekillswitch: Because the game isn't out yet?...

I'm only 2 hours in so far and its already so good. I cant wait to play more.
thanks for the indirrect shout-out to lesser known youtubers trying to make their way.. you're awesome, for more than just that.. cheers mate
this reminds me of Sanitarium from the 90's....that was a crazy but really good game....
Reminds me Blade Runner the game.
Excited as always for new reviews!
Bought this game and it was one of the best game I played recently, easily 60 hours on just one playthrough, many more to come
I bought the game today without watching this review, and 40 minutes in I'm absolutely in love.
When do we gamers get to see the unsettling nature of H.P Lovecraft's unnerving writings, the absolute craziness of a Malkavian in Vampire, the intrinsic attention to detail as in Planescape Torment, and the morally ambiguous and offensive Fallout 2 into one?
Sorry, I just really like it so far.
I’ve been watching your video reviews here in the uk for a while and am now subscribed. Your writing is engaging, informative, witty and a real pleasure to listen to. It shows the amount of work you no doubt put into the writing of each one. Keep up the good work that fellow!
That bus analogy was descriptive gold. Exquisite.
Here because of Easy Allies. Love these reviews!
I cannot wait for this company's next game, I havent played this good of a rpg since the first kotor
A offensive Planescape torment in a distopian setting where everyone is miserable? Sounds like the perfect game for me!

This is honestly the funniest game I've played that I can remember. It's like playing a Douglas Adams book or something.
This sounds utterly brilliant and I had no idea it existed. Thanks for the eye opener man.
I've been "Waiting for Sale" and got it for $13.99 today. Looking forward to it!
"2080 Ti and an i7 is going to net you > 60fps".
I would seriously hope so. :-)
Anyway, good review. Looks like a very interesting game.
I scratched my head at that. Why do we need the latest graphics cards and an i7 to get a stable 60 FPS on a 2D RPG in 2019...
Wasn't on my radar, but now it is. Sinking City and now this. Feels like detective RPG is starting to turn into something of a new sub genre, and I would love more of this clue finding and multi ending type games with well written mystery. I will be buying this now. Thanks ACG!
This is a really, really good review! Thanks so much. Can't wait to play this game!
One problem ==> Game-stopping bugs / glitches + the save system is really weird / wonky:.
Start of day 2. Get out of bed & go downstairs. Try to talk to Kim, but nothing happens. I can talk to others, but can't get out of the place, as the front door isn't clickable.
Reload. Get out of bed & go downstairs. This time, trying to talk to Kim or anyone else does nothing. Still can't get out of the place, as the front door isn't clickable.
Reload. After this, I can only click on 3 places and then, I'm totally stuck & can't click on anything. And I do mean literally anything as "mirror + door (go out) + door (get back in)" = Now I'm stuck in my room.
= How the hell can it get worse and even worse, when I reload???.
Im hooked. Only an hour in. Never played anything like it before in my life. Great review - looking forward to getting lost in it
Does the game have UI scaling? I play on a TV and usually need to up the scaling (esp in text heavy games like this).
The look of the game kind of reminds me a of blade runner for some reason
