Baldur's Gate 3 - The Unlikely Masterpiece
YouTube video by John Phoelix Baldur's Gate 3 - The Unlikely Masterpiece

Baldur's Gate 3 is one of the best games I've played. In my opinion it's a masterpiece. But looking back at the 30 years Larian have existed and the 20 years since BG2, it's amazing that it happened at all.

The only thing it needs to be is a new Remedy Game. Stop whatever you're doing and focus on this!

I thought I'd write short reviews about old games that noone needs reviews for but I want to write about anyway.

The first entry in my RevueSky series is about Disco Elysium.

Feedback and discussion about the game would be appreciated!

Just like Iโ€™d recommend that everyone watches Twin Peaks or reads 1984, playing Disco Elysium will give a referential foundation. Even if you wonโ€™t end up loving it youโ€™ll experience something truly original. Years from now youโ€™ll see references to it in games made by those who were inspired by it.

When I finished the game one of the first things I thought was: Iโ€™ll never play a game like this again. And Iโ€™m sure the same thought would strike me even if I didnโ€™t like the game as much as I did.

Like I mentioned the game mechanic is dialogue. And the story of who Harry is revolves around one of the most entertaining who-done-it stories Iโ€™ve experienced. In other words, a low barrier of entry to a popular genre. But thatโ€™s why Iโ€™d recommend it to anyone. Not why Iโ€™d recommend it to EVERYONE?

Everything Iโ€™ve written so far makes this game seem like a very niche experience. Something for the Role Playing Game Connoisseurs. So what makes me say Iโ€™d recommend Disco Elysium to everyone?

In other words, unlike other RPGs, the entire game is one big character creator. And who Harry has become by the end of it, is the payoff. The thing that all the hours youโ€™ve put into the game amounts to.

Amnesia might seem like a played out narrative tool but in Disco Elysium itโ€™s used to create something special. By interacting with the world, the people in it and the different parts of your mind you get to both rediscover and reinvent who Harry is.

Unlike most RPGs it doesnโ€™t start with a character creator aside from picking stats. You donโ€™t pick a background, class, or what your character looks like. Youโ€™re handed a character whoโ€™ll most likely be very far from you or the character youโ€™d normally play. Heโ€™s not very likeable. But who is he?

Itโ€™s rare that I play a game that I feel like I could recommend to everyone. And at first glance Disco Elysium doesnโ€™t come across as that kind of game. Itโ€™s a game all about narrative where pretty much the only game mechanic is dialogue.
