I would say that Disco Elysium is as innovative as DOS2 or even more. Even though Planescape and DE are superbly written and more story driven/adventure RPGs, they have completely different settings, themes, atmosphere, art direction and play-style. It is a genuine original game, probably more than DOS2. Not like like BG/PoE or Fallout/Wasteland.The thought cabinet for example is genius mechanic (even though it could be more meaningful in the game).


Disco Elysium...Legendary. This game will age like fine wine. Up there with Planescape: Torment and Arcanum.
