Disco Elysium: The Final Cut is widely considered to be one of the best RPGs of the past few years — probably even more so when you dig into its sub-genre of computer RPGs. The problem is there aren't too many games like it on consoles, but that's about to change on PS5, PS4 with a new title named Broken Roads hitting the two systems in 2023.
A new trailer has been released confirming the ports, which also hints at the type of experience it is. "Broken Roads transports you to a ravaged future in a story of survival, introspection and community, putting you in an intriguing post-apocalyptic world you can explore and lose yourself in as you face danger, overcome challenges and form part of a deep, mature story," the YouTube description reads.
The game's Steam page shares many more details: a "unique" morality system affects dialogue, quests, and character development. Taking inspiration from its homeland, Drop Bear Bytes has crafted a world full of Australian environments and locations. You'll explore these places with a party of up to five, and turn-based tactical combat is on hand when you get into an argument.
"Born of a love for traditional computer role-playing, Broken Roads provides a rich, engaging narrative in which players make their way across a desolated future Australia. Blending together traditional and all-new role-playing elements on top of a classless system offering nearly unlimited character development options, Broken Roads presents players with an original morality system: the Moral Compass. This novel design sees dialogue options and questing decisions influence, and be influenced by, a character's philosophical leaning."

Looks right up my street!
I'm enjoying Disco, but at the same time I do find myself stuck from time to time, thinking "where the hell do I go next" no handing holding in this badboy!
@EquiinoxGII That’s one of the things I loved about it. You can just wander round and accidentally progress the case. There’s even a trophy for solving it without examining the body!
@nessisonett oh really? Just shows how deep the game can be. I suppose you really need to put your detective skills to good use in this game.
Disco Elysium is one of my favourite games to date, the music, art style and story were just superb. Would love another game with Kim in it, Harry was great but Kim was the star.
It will be different characters but if it is half as good as DE then it will be a winner! Day 1 for me.
Yes please! Disco Elysium is the best game I've played in 2022 nudging out Elden Ring for that title. Hoping this comes even close to DE and it'll be a rare early purchase (after a patch or two such is gaming nowadays).
Right to the top of my list this goes. DE is up there with one of the very best games I have played, everything about it was fantastic.
Hopefully this can come close to it, like @Mostik said if it's even half as good we are on to a winner.
I am excited for this, I really appreciate playing games like this.
This looks absolutely fantastic.
Intriguing info, love deep interactive, interesting rpgs, but the trailer doesn't show much interesting.
This game looks pretty cool to me. Not nearly as cool as Divinity Original Sin 2 or Wrath of the Righteous though. Both of which blow Disco Elysium out of the water
Well, now of course this has my full attention
Hmm, don't want to be cynical but there's certainly a bit of DE copy-cat vibe with it. Hoping I'm wrong.
I mean, even if it's a copy, if it's a good copy then it can still be worth playing. Just don't want it to be a cash grab.
I'm here for this. I've always wanted more games to take place in Australia, and one that has a Fallout/Mad Max apocalypse setting? Yes please. Just hoping there is some actual mutated drop bears in the game. And a hoop snake or two.
Need to give disco another shot sometime did start it but wasnt really feeling it at the time, so might go back to it soon and givr it another go.
