To get a second review, a game must have both changed substantially enough that the original review is no longer accurate, and it must still be popular enough that many gamers are actively searching for reviews of that game. These conditions are seldom met, so do not expect to see IGN revisit a score often. We just saved you from making a terrible mistake by buying this collection of poorly executed, bad, or unoriginal ideas – or even playing it for free.

Developed and published by ZA/UM in 2019, Disco Elysium places you in the role of a detective suffering from amnesia and a serious bout of alcoholism. His quest to unravel a baffling murder and the details of his life that he’s forgotten takes you on an absolutely stunning adventure that thrives on its choice-based gameplay and exquisite dialogue. [newline]Disco Elysium balances humor and serious life dilemmas with astounding grace, and the freedom it gives you to shape the narrative and your interactions with its many colorful characters you meet allows you to make this detective story your own.

There is no denying that the franchise’s reputation has taken some hits over the years, primarily due to its perceived stagnation and parent company EA’s predatory monetization tactics. As this discontent has grown, so too has the number of people looking for a viable competitor.
