Disco Elysium

[daisekihan]

This was such an outstanding game, but even more than that, it seems like it was almost designed for Ross. It’s an incredibly immersive world with the feel of a graphic adventure game with all the bullshit cut out, and the subtle menace of inscrutable supernatural forces hidden just beyond the veil of prosaic reality. I would even consider gifting it to him on Steam if I knew he would play it.

 

Ross, if you read this, add this game to your list. Hell, I will buy it for you just to get your take.

Looks like Wasteland 2, except with a slightly different setting.

I played it on release, and it clicked with me immediately. Firstly because I found the story very aspirational: I'm not an alcoholic or a drug addict, but I do have serious personal failings, and seeing the protagonist dig his way out of rock bottom really lifted my spirits. Also, making each skill a character in it's own right is pure jenius and every ounce of brilliance is wrung out of it.
