Disco Elysium Is Weird

I mentioned this the other day: I've been playing through Disco Elysium on Xbox, and really enjoying it. With the added narration of The Final Cut edition, it's almost like listening to an audiobook. A really strange audiobook.

That's the thing about this game, though... it's so weird! It reminds me of books like Neuromancer or other William Gibson novels. It draws you in with its foreignness. The world is there, and it definitely exists - whether or not you understand it.

Oftentimes in games like this, I get turned off by too much world-building. I want to see the game through, and not live in its world for a moment.

Disco Elysium is not that, though. It's just all very interesting and connected, and so far, I love it.
