Disco Elysium is less a game, and more like a very lengthy novel. Only you don't have the luxury of listening to it via audiobook and finding the 40 hours it demands while doing chores or driving.
This game took me 4 restarts, 1 peek at a guide for spoilers on a particularly spicy die roll, and a couple sessions of not-sleepy to actually finish this game. What a weird game. One of the first where I didn't like it until the last 10 minutes and now it's one of my favourites. It doesn't look special until you have all the pieces. But in any case, if you want some more "oh god, how long was I asleep" games that I also really ended up loving: Sunless Sea, Gloomhaven, Cultist Simulator, Book of Hours, Brutal Orchestra. All very good lullabies.
Thanks for the comment! So much of me wants to press on with this title but I feel like it's all time wasted that could be spent actually enjoying something. Which is a shame, because so much of this is so well done! Thank you for the list of comparable titles, I'll be sure to avoid those, too! Appreciate your thoughts here!
@@dadtries Not sure if you've played Outer Wilds before, but it is such a randomly good 'dad' game in more ways than one. Outside of the awesome plot/world building, it's an absolutely stellar space sim. My 3/4 year old loves playing it even though he can't read.
I have not yet played Outer Wilds, but I've eyeballed it a few times. It has a No Man's Sky kind of feel to it, but with more to do on the planets. I'm 1000% sure my 5 year old would love it as well!
You'll get to the hook of the mystery eventually you'll get to the parts that will make you bellylaugh, and the parts that make you sad if you finish the game you'll see how big of a masterpiece it is and why people are praising it if I spoiler the end of the game to you now I will sound like an absolute insane person. please finish the game and actually roleplay, that makes the game good
That's what I keep hearing, getting there would take me the better part of a year if I played nothing else, I feel. I wanted to enjoy this game so much, it just doesn't fit my agenda at this point in my life. Putting a pin in it for when I can dedicate some real time to it.
thanks dad 👍
My god, you're fast. Hope you're well and thank you!

Very, very good analogy.
