The Rise of Disco-Like Games Explained

Nick Rodriguez — Sat, 30 May 2026 11:00:15 GMT

Disco Elysium is one of the best games ever made, if you ask me. I know that’s some lofty praise, one that not everyone else who’s played Disco Elysium will necessarily agree with—but still–ZA/UM’s debut is a masterpiece and I stand by that. It’s worth looking back on the 2019 masterpiece for a few reasons, including the recent release of Zero Parades: For Dead Spies, ZA/UM’s second game, which has struggled to extricate itself from the shadow of Disco.

New Narrative CRPG on Steam Is Like Disco Elysium and Planescape: Torment

Nick Rodriguez — Thu, 07 May 2026 15:00:16 GMT

There have always been games with dark or somber themes, but with the advent of Steam and the aggressive growth of the indie sector more broadly, these sorts of titles are more abundant than ever. Games like Disco Elysium and the Frostpunk franchise, for instance, serve as much-needed counterweights to the more polished, sanitized offerings of the AAA space. Their focus on subjects like war, substance use, and poverty are mostly avoided by more mainstream or mass-appeal projects.

While the creatives behind the excellent Disco Elysium have since split into multiple studios, the game remains a modern classic in the eyes of practically everyone that played it. Offering some of the best dialogue and storytelling in the entire video game industry, Disco Elysium managed to become a household name without flashy combat. Its exploration of politics and mental illness through its stellar writing, not to mention its clever “voices as skills” concept, have made it the gold standard for narrative-focused games. And for fans of isometric RPGs seeking another game that they can fully engross themselves in, then the upcoming Steam title Sucks To Be In The Sticks could be ideal.

Say Hello to a New Steam RPG That Channels Disco Elysium and Leans Into Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2’s Immersive Vibe

Joshua Duckworth — Mon, 05 Jan 2026 20:01:17 GMT

One of the biggest hardships in the gaming industry is discoverability, with 40–50 games releasing every single day on Steam in 2023 (as reported by Kotaku). This number has no doubt remained strong in the years since, if not increased even more so.

One Steam game that should be on your radar, especially if you enjoy the emphasis on immersion in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 and the storytelling method of Disco Elysium, is Bladesong.
