If it matters, before I got a dirt cheap copy on Steam, I had previously played Disco Elysium on GOG for many, many hours.

Overhyped to the point where it experienced an inevitable hype backlash, Disco Elysium nevertheless remains a standard bearer for cRPG design, world building, and storytelling. It challenges traditional notions of what a video game can be by making failure a narrative branching point rather than a fail state you must reload from; it drips with style with its unique look, setting, and characters; it’s unapologetically political in a way that’s refreshing rather than cringeworthy like in Outer Worlds 1; the writing and story manage to be darkly funny and cynical yet also profoundly humanistic and uplifting by the end; and even in repeat playthroughs, it continues to be the most emotionally affecting experience of any video game I’ve ever played.

Also, you get to live as a middle aged man dying of a heart attack from making a 2 foot jump. Gaming will never achieve this level of realism again.
