Seconded, unequivocally! Disco Elysium was such an experience.
I remember the first time I saw it.. it looked so terrible at first glance. My husband was playing it and he said it was so good, but when I came over to check I was like.. "ehhh if you say so." I mean, let's be honest, a casual glance might make it seem like it's some crappy game.
But my husband was adamant, so I got the game too and I'm sooooooo happy I did. It's honestly one of the (if not the!) best written games I've played. The monologues are beautiful, the dialogues are superb. This game has made me laugh so hard I had tears running down my cheeks, and it has made me cry for real. It's funny, it's tragic, it's melancholic, it's remarkably 'deep' and it touches on so many important subjects in a non-lecturing way.
Anyone who wants to experience the entire rainbow of emotions should definitely buy this. It's brilliant.
Edit just to say: You can never go wrong with Slay the Spire. I've spent hours upon hours playing it, off and on, and it's great!
