Disco Elysium

The best book I've ever played, fundamentally changed who I am as a person. Who needs real world politics, I am Kras Mazov and I will bring Mazovian socio-economics to the real world and build 0.00% of communism

This is a Masterpiece! It's art in the best sense: entertaining you with a gripping story and interesting characters, humour and sincerity, hope and hopelessness in an unknown world much like ours - while inviting you to take a stance on a number of social isues, cultural issues, philosophical issues. Making you think, making you laugh, making you feel. I didn't know what to expect when I started the game, stumbled into it blindly and was instantly sucked in. (Guess I was living under a rock - now I realize it's a pretty well known game. So maybe, when you're going in expecting something grande, it won't have the same effect on you of course. But I think it will still be really good.) The writing, the voice acting, the graphic style that fits so well in a kinda post-apocalyptic setting - everything is just so well done! Sometimes the political and geographical world-building was a bit much for me. Even though I admired the creativity, I found myself impatiently clicking faster through some topics because I wanted the story to go on. Of course there is no need to go through all dialogue options, but often it will give you experience points you can use to level up your skills. And sometimes something interesting might pop up - so I clicked through everything available to me even if I was already about to loose patience and wanted to move on. So ultimately I did this to myself and can't really complain. It also still contributed to that world feeling more complete and real. Honestly I just love this game, go and give it a try!
