In 2019, Disco Elysium came out of nowhere to snatch multiple GOTY awards and the hearts of many all over the world. We love surprise hits, and we don’t have enough of those to counter all the highly anticipated games that end up as total disappointments, but Disco Elysium was unique beyond that. Its fresh take on politics-imbued Dungeons & Dragons mechanics made that terrible thing that happened and is now definitely solved much more bearable. Sadly, that’s not likely to ever happen again (the game, not the appearance of deadly viruses), as even though Disco Elysium 2 is in development, the company behind the game has just kicked out the game’s main writers and artists.
