Tips & Tricks on How to Play Disco Elysium

Disco Elysium is a detective action game set in a future dystopian world. The game is set in the year 2293 in a society where both humans and robots co-exist. Players take the role of a detective and will be investigating crimes and murders.

• Tip 1: Pay attention to the banter between the characters. While it can be tempting to just focus on the action, the banter between the characters is where a lot of the game's humor is found. Characters will often say silly stuff that's worth paying attention to.
• Tip 2: Don't be afraid to hit things with your weapon. Most of the enemies you'll encounter can be beaten through brute force. If you've equipped something that seems like it could be a weapon (like a trash can lid), you can probably hit an enemy with it.
• Tip 3: Experiment with the different weapons and abilities you can use. The game offers a wide variety of weapons and abilities, and your own play style will dictate which ones you like best.
• Tip 4: You can skip the cutscenes, but you shouldn't. Disco Elysium is ultimately a story-driven game, so it's worth your while to watch the cutscenes. This is especially true if you're a completionist, as you'll want to watch all of the cutscenes in order to get the full story.
• Tip 5: Don't forget about the "VHS" part of the game. The VHS cassettes you find scattered around the game's levels unlock short films that give you more insight into the world of Disco Elysium. You don't need to watch them all, but it's worth going back and watching the ones you missed.

Conclusion

Disco Elysium is a great turn-based RPG that hits the right spot for me. It not only features a great story but also has a great little twist where one can build his own team of companions. The game is not very long and is quite linear. But since it is not a bad thing to be linear in a video game, I can recommend this game to anyone who likes RPGs.
