Anyone played this, or heard of it?
Just starting now. Feels really different. A bit early but I think this is going to be a great game for me. Playing as a schizophrenic detective with memory loss and alcoholism. Just woke up naked in a hotel room.

It's one of the very best games I've ever played. The writing is superb, and the characters have a ton of depth. I found the setting endlessly interesting. I'm waiting a bit to play it again, there's a ton of stuff I didn't get to experience in my first playthrough. My wife's playthough was quite different.
I don't want to give anything away.
I had to stop playing at various points just to take in the soundtrack. Especially this tune.

I played as a libertarian ("Ultraliberal" in the game's parlance) with an affinity for the supernatural.
I got some money every time I preached the free market, but suffered like a -2 to empathy rolls, which was hilarious.

I'm right wit you, this and Fallout NV are both in my top 3. Skyrim, Morrowind, Witcher 3, Planescape Torment or Baldur's gate taking the third spot.
I'm definitely gonna be a commie as well for my next Disco playthrough. Even though that's *probably* the slant of the developers as well, they keep things pretty balanced in the writing (ie every system goes to shit in the end), which I genuinely appreciated.

the developers got this reward and in their acceptance speech thanked Marx and Engels, so yeah
the game also pokes fun at and has serious critiques of leftism, gave me stuff to think about
it should be said, for people that don't know the game, that it's set in a different world, so everything is kind of fresh (while also being recognizable, take the union stuff, for instance). i liked the religion and the history, to name some things. and of course the way it looked and felt
i see people saying on twitter that pentiment is a good game
i wrote down Planescape Torment at some point, maybe because Action Button named it. but i tried fallout 1, at some point, and it felt kind of hard for me to get into such an old game. i guess also because i'm not that much of a gamer (except Trackmania, at the moment)

so this content creator i like, thought slime, started streaming the game. but didn't finish it and commented he'd rather just read a book. so that's a valid opinion, to me
