I you are into adventure games and/or like the idea of a story heavy rpg without combat I wholeheartedly recommend you trying it.
The whole thing is such a clusterfuck. I've never played it but I can sympathize with how the fans have been jerked around.

I've tried several games like it. Arcanum being one of the most similar but I just can't get into that style, no matter how many times I've tried lol. Same reason I won't play Planescape: Torment. Just not for me. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

It’s not very much like Arcanum, though. Arcanum and Planescape are moer or less straight RPGs, Disco Elysium is practically a variant of a point and click adventure.

It’s a point and click puzzle game with rpg elements, that’s how I’ve been explaining it

I really wanted to get into planescape torment because I have heard amazing things about the writing and I have played decently far into the beginning (escaping from the body morgue complex into city) but the whole damn game is just grey and beige and I couldn’t take it after awhile lol.

I'm sure its got an incredible story and I'd love it if I actually sat down but im in the same boat. Just not interested.

I sympathise with them, but played it without any insight into any drama. It’s one of the best games I’ve played.
