The best
I've been a gamer since Atari 2600 and have a lot of hours clocked in front of a screen believe me. Disco Elysium is hands down the best thing I've played. It's Blue Velvet by David Lynch, it's Plastic Surgery Disasters by the Dead Kennedys. It's art, it's punk and it's absolutely adorable
It’s Bojack Horseman meets The Big Lebowski
I adore The Big Lebowski but don't know Bojack Horseman. I'll add it to my list
It's absolutely punk by any metric, yea. I haven't even thought of drawing parallels with other works, yet, but the mention of Dead Kennedys seems apt. I haven't seen Blue Velvet. I guess part of the appeal, to me, is that it felt utterly fresh, distanced from pretty much anything I've ever read, watched or played.
The inland empire stat was apparently based on David Lynch film style. Really such an intelligent piece of art.
