Almost 18 months after the project was announced, the day has arrived: Disco Elysium: The Final Cut is now available on PlayStation hardware. The game can be downloaded on the PS Store at a price of £34.99/$39.99 (there's a limited-time 20% discount), with PS5 players treated to 60 frames-per-second support at 4K resolution as well as use of the DualSense controller. The award-winning isometric RPG is available on PS4 too, but the last-gen version offers a lesser experience. A physical version will follow in the future. But with the PC version currently sitting on a Metacritic score of 91 (for the base game), pulling the trigger on Disco Elysium: The Final Cut today seems like a sensible idea.
But where is the Push Square PS5 review? Well, we quite literally received our review code two hours ago. We did want to bring you our verdict to coincide with the game's launch, but that hasn't been possible this time around. The setback means our Disco Elysium: The Final Cut review is highly unlikely to be posted this week. Next week is a much more realistic and healthy target for this scribe.
So, Disco Elysium: The Final Cut is supposed to be an outstanding RPG, but that's all based on what everyone else has said. For our own thoughts and opinions, let's reconvene next week. Do you have plans to buy Disco Elysium: The Final Cut today? Share your first impressions in the comments below.

Ooooooh, I need this, anyone know how long the 20% discount is on for?
So you haven't reviewed it but it's matter-of-fact a lesser experience on last-gen? Seems a bit premature, no?
Or maybe I'm just getting too caught up on the wording there.
Is this game even good? I never tried it, what should I expect from this game??
I saw so many people talking about it so I'm interested to give it a shot, and also do I need to play the first game to understand the second game??
@LieutenantFatman Until April 7, according to the store
@kingtoten I don't think this is a "second game", just an extended version
@zupertramp Well the PS4 version doesn’t have the PS5 enhancements. That’s where that sentence comes from.
This game has gotten great reviews but I'm afraid it may be too slow-paced for me. I may pick it up down the road when it's on a deep sale and give it a shot.
@Voltan
Perfect, thanks matey.
Yessss! Very excited to play this.
@LiamCroft Yes naturally. Just wasn't sure how significant these enhancements would be to the overall experience. Your review will just cover the PS5 version though, correct?
Now I'm just thinking how nice it'll be for everyone a couple years down the road when we don't have two versions to contend with. It's probably even worse for all you reviewers and such.
@zupertramp Yeah I’ll be reviewing the PS5 version.
@LieutenantFatman Seems like the discount might be only for PS Plus subscribers though - at least that's how it shows up for me (a subscriber)
@kingtoten It’s possibly the best game of the 2010s. That depends on your thoughts about narrative-driven adventure RPGs of course but it’s something special indeed.
Been refreshing the store all morning. Downloading now. I can’t wait to try this one after work. I’ve been anticipating it since reading the PC reviews.
@kingtoten This is the first game, it's just an improved edition of it. It's gotten very good reviews, too.
Bought it and realised I've got no room even though it's only 10gb. AC Valhalla is getting the chop.
Crafty...I wasn't planning on getting this until it had a decent sale discount - but £26.39 launch sale price (just over £22 for me with discounted PSN credit) is tempting!
£26 for a ps+ member, so about a tenner less than expected. Perfect. Thus begins the rest of my day
@Voltan @nessisonett @Fyz306903
Thanks, I might try it as well!
@zupertramp Hehe just means it wont run at 60fps on 4k it's something this site does well considering there are over 114.9 million PS4 users who enjoyed a lesser experience you would be forgiven for thinking the PS5 Is far more superior...my guess is the PS4 will sell more than the PS5 nothing I have seen makes me want to buy 1 nothing.
Looking forward playing it. It looks great
I started this on the PC and was really enjoying it. Looking forward to playing through it fully on the PS5, it's a wild ride. Great sense of humor and incredibly well written. Delighted they've implemented full voice acting too!
Definitely going to pick this up. Just need to decide when and which system.
@LiamCroft When you say PS5 enhancements, are we talking purely graphical?
@Number09 lol I mean I'm not nearly as bitter about it as my original comment probably read but since I'm not too familiar with this game it'd be nice to get a sense of whether 4k 60fps makes much difference.
When I see isometric RPG I just think Diablo which imo doesn't really benefit as much from increased graphical fidelity. The gameplay is just not that... cinematic. Not sure if this game is sorta similar in that regard.
Honestly I'll probably buy it regardless as I'm immensely curious but would be nice to know.
I want to buy this for the Ps5, but my console is currently lost in the post. Does anyone know if I buy it on PS4, I'll get the Ps5 version too? It doesn't say on the store page.
@Muppet Yeah you get both generation versions in one package. I just bought it and it downloaded both PS4 & PS5 editions onto my PS5 - had to delete the PS4 version. Played a couple of hours and loving it the atmosphere is incredible.
Physical version is confirmed? Do we know if that's through retail or is that gonna be something like Limited Run?
If you guys are saying this game really is something very special, I'm not opposed to just downloading it today
@StarGeeek Thanks. I couldn't find that info anywhere. I think I'll buy it now then. Really looking forward to playing it.
@zupertramp oh i'll buy it because nessisonett rates it highly and yes you do have a valid question I would be of the same opinion as yourself I have no worries of enjoying it on PS4.........in all honesty I think faster paced racers shooters and such like take advantage of the next gen I think we will be good to go on isometric RPGs.
@kingtoten
It's more like the old CRPG's so fans of Planescape Torment would fit in well. But yes as others have said, it's very slow paced. It's basically just a talking game but your skills come from developing your personality into a communist, anarchist etc.
There's a huge wealth of dialogue trees. So be sure you're up for that!
@nessisonett could you tell me, is this a point and click kind of thing, or do you actually move the character around via the sticks etc. Without sounding like a neanderthal, can I shoot or punch people using the controller and my own 'wits' or is it an XCOM style thing where I click somewhere and the AI does the rest?
Not that I'll get it any time soon after the early review on here!
@tomassi There’s no combat but yeah, you move with the stick. And also, this article is complete nonsense after the patch. It’s literally reducing sales based on old information. How many 10/10 games on here got Day 1 patches that fixed issues? I’m willing to bet quite a few.
@nessisonett Thanks for the reply. To be honest, I'm not really target audience for these types of games. I have fairly limited gaming time generally due to the usual work/kids/wife! So I like quick pick up and play experiences that have some action in them, if that makes sense. Where I'm actually DOING something. Even if its Tony Hawk, or FIFA, or RDR2 or God of War or some smaller platformy indie thing. Otherwise I feel like I've wasted what little time I have by making barely any progress at something!
I think £26 is a good price though, so maybe at it's first discount I'll give it a go as I imagine it will be less than £20 at some point. i can justify that more!
thanks for reminder. Dirt 5 is also discounted steeply to $24 digital so I grabbed that and Disco just now.
Is the review still being worked on? Any idea when we can expect to see it? Thanks for the update.
