Disco Elysium

RHETORIC: Should Bryan, Josh and Clint talk about Disco Elysium this month?

LOGIC: Yes they probably should, its won a ton of awards, has an engaging story, and boasts some of the best writing they can remember.

EMPATHY: That writing is always in service to this game’s true strength: telling a deeply affecting and sometimes hilarious story of how a person grows and forms their personality in the face of a bleak, brutal world.

CONCEPTUALIZATION: It has an incredibly well fleshed out game world as well, with thousands of years of history to flavor an already very alive modern noire setting.

SUGGESTION: Also, Kim. Kitsuragi kicks ass.

VOLITION: Alright, let’s get into it. This month’s Video Game Book Club is about Disco Elysium and why its an incredible game.

Three Word Reviews:

Clint: In your head / Bryan: Radical Midlife Crisis / Josh: Failure is Story
