Baldurs Gate 3 is probably the closest Ive come to Disco Elsyium in terms of narrative quality, at least in recent years.
If youre willing to go back a while, Planescape: Torment (also based on DnD) has a very similar feel to DE.
The guy that created Disco Elysium was heavily influenced by baldurs gate one and two, so there's a continuity
I just read that in the artbook, they talk about how they went isometric not out of nostalgia, but out of deliberate artistic choice and as an hommage to the classics. I should really play these classics too.
There's an art book?!? Brb ordering immediately
Also I can recommend BG3 as well. It's pretty awesome. Not even close to DE because nothing compares but still it's worth checking out
Thanks for the recommendation
