THIS GAME IS CRIMINALLY UNDERRATED

[El_Sama]

The writing is utterly amazing, and no one will change my mind, the internal dialogue is a masterpiece on its own, I cant believe I picked this from the discount bin and I have never heard of it before despite being gaming for over 30 years. To the writers, Great Job.

Yeah, I really hope the studio will do more games like this, this is the most unique cRPG I have played recently, if ever.

Beautifully written, unique and believable characters, a grounded detective story and - as you said - the internal dialog system alone makes this game worth a try.

110% agree, the dialogue and the lore is mind blowing... actually everything about this game is!

Posts like this always makes me wonder if people just don't know what "underrated" means or if they just want to make themselves feel better for discovering such "hidden gem".

Disco Elysium got tons of great reviews, won best game/narrative/writing awards couple times + some more meaningless things like high place on IGN's list of 100 games of all times and was commercial success. Nothing about it is underrated.

No it isn't!
It rated extremely highly, pretty much every review of this game was positive, why does no-one nowadays know what the ♥♥♥♥ "underrated" means?

It is honestly my biggest annoyance of the past decade, I once saw someone like you call Schindler's list an "underrated" movie... one of the best known films of the past 20+ years.

Might be more appropriate to call it under-appreciated. It's a game that flies just a bit under the radar. I've known about it for a long time but only played it recently and definitely found myself asking "why the hell didn't I play this sooner?" I have friends who I know will love it and they've never heard of it. They seem excited to play it now.

It's clearly a highly-rated and beloved game but it makes sense to me that it isn't something that is going to be appreciated by everyone. Truly great things rarely are.

I wanna agree but it's one of the most beloved and praised games in recent times, it's really good but it's not underrated if people know that

I thought the game was pretty niche but with 1,800+ players at the moment I'm writing this it actually kicks the ♥♥♥♥ out of many other isometric RPG:s from bigger franchises.

That in combination with several well deserved rewards makes me think the OP is luckliy wrong and that the game has gotten both the praise and the player count itdeserves.
