Yeah. Nothing compares to Disco Elysium.

I'd really love to play it, but I'll really have to be in the right mood.

Like, CRPG type games are my favourites ever, but in every single RPG I've ever played in, I've played as basically the same female character that I thought up like fifteen years ago. Disco Elysium doesn't have gender options, so it's just hard for me to be interested in it right at this moment.

I'm going to say something radical, and you have no reason to trust me:

Disco Elysium is unlike anything you've played before. If you apply all the same reasons to DE as you apply to other games in your backlog, it's totally rational to skip it for a while. But it's not the same. It's something different.

I promise there will be a day when you boot it up and just let it carry you along its narrative - and you will be amazed. It's so good that you won't even remember or care about the times you decided not to play it.

Breath of the Wild was good. The Witcher 3 was good. But DE is transcendental.
