The crux of the gameplay revolves around inspecting clues, talking to various characters, and wrestling with your mind. There's a tremendous amount of replayability because of this, and even your initial character build can affect the dialogue and action choices you get. There are many ways you can approach interviewing suspects, and depending on what you say, events unfold differently. Don't let that fool you because Disco Elysium is a lengthy and complex game.

The graphics look like they're straight out of a painting - maybe one by Edward Hopper - but the file size is only 8 GB. The art style is one of the highlights of the experience. During my roughly 30 hours with the title, I didn't encounter any noticeable FPS drops and traversing the city of Revachol was a breeze. The game appears to be running at 4K resolution at 60 frames per second (FPS).

Now that that's out of the way, let me say that Disco Elysium looks spectacular on Xbox Series X. The prolonged loading screens appear to be a result of inadequate optimization in my opinion. There aren't that many interactive objects either. This quickly gets annoying because massive environments aren't being loaded here. The same loading screen greets you every step of the way, through every transition. Let's say you're going up the stairs to an even tinier setting. It's unclear why Disco Elysium takes so long to load even minuscule environments.Įven if you're entering a small building, you'll notice that you'll have to withstand a loading screen for around 10 seconds. The loading screens are a relic of the original build that came out 20 years ago, and only last for a fraction of a second on Xbox Series X. Diablo II: Resurrected is a great example of this.

There are plenty of titles on Xbox Series X that have either instant or near-instant loading. While this may seem like a minor inconvenience, in-game loading times were supposed to be eliminated on this generation's consoles.

There's a lot to love about this port of Disco Elysium on Xbox Series X, but the load times are curiously not one of them.

This is a significant upgrade over the base version, and works well on consoles because there's controller support. Disco Elysium: The Final Cut on Xbox Series X features voice acting for every character, many new quests, and locations.
