Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“Went in totally blind beyond playing DE, and not liking it so far. The narrator really does not work for me, with strange speech patterns that just make her sound inebriated and try-hard. Then, my character maxes their anxiety score within…”
“how is the full release just as unfinished as the demo? It's cool they lean more into dialogue than narration compared to disco elysium, but why is so much of the game unvoiced?”
