Disco Elysium. I have returned to it recently, and I'm still amazed by how good the writing is. There are simply no other games out there that tackle these themes and build a world so closely resembling one I'm living in. Teenagers on amphetamine and mephedrone, surviving the worst hangover of your life only to get drunk again, aching for a love that you destroyed yourself, barely scraping money to pay rent, corrupt union leaders, foreclosed game studios, domestic violence, underground rave at abandoned church, people who are unable to let go of a political conflict after a few decades — all of that hits much closer to home than saving the world.
