Disco Elysium is beyond incredible.

It's really art at its finest. I like to put my head in art through books, music, film, conversations as deep as I can, but I swear, there is something eerie and surreal about this game. It definitely has to to do with how they are able to convey the depth of a subject in a way that is approachable and allows you to relate to more than just 1-2 things. I don't want to talk more about it because I might sound like I put too many points in my psyche ('Inland Empire' & 'Conceptualization') abilities in the game and might be looked at as a shallow spiritual goof, but I feel like it's one of the few material things in this world that is able to describe the enlightenment that we all search for and that many books loop about much better than other mediums, even compared to other games that might be sending out a similar message, like Outer Wilds. And I think Outer Wilds does an exceptional job at it.

Then again, there are so many interpretations to a game like this due to the many diverse complex subject matters, that what I am writing here is my own experience and own meaning, one of the many that the creators meant to bring out in others. I feel like everyone can relate to something in this game which is what makes it so special. For me, the dream sequence conversations hit me so hard, because I use art as a tool to get more insight into myself and the dream sequences doing that already in the game and me doing it in real life based on what the game is doing to the character, felt recursive but also, I don't know, it brings out that feeling of sublime that we have at times when we stare at the night sky.

What a game. Hits hard.
