but on a scale from 1-10 where 1 is Starfield

I was trying to come up with another "1" other than Starfield that isn't just, like, Custer's Revenge on the Atari, and I came up with nothing. Damn, Starfield may really be the 1. todd . It may be neither here nor there, but I'd put Cruelty Squad up there fairly high too, especially considering what one might expect from a shooter.

Starfield really is just the blandest, vibes-as-worldbuilding game I can think of. Like there's worse games and on a mechanical level it's better than I expected from Bethesda, but I can't think of a better "diametric opposite of everything Disco Elysium does well" game.

It may be neither here nor there, but I'd put Cruelty Squad up there fairly high too, especially considering what one might expect from a shooter.

I haven't played it and don't personally like that sort of gameplay, but I've heard that its writing is good.

It was a bold move to make the entire story's purpose to pull the player into LE EPIC MULTIVERSE while providing multiplied procedural emptiness over the first bland boring universe that they had already come from.

I haven't played it and don't personally like that sort of gameplay, but I've heard that its writing is good.

The writing is almost Disco Elysium tier, with similar strange, grotesque, but highly thoughtful introspective ideas hidden among the gunplay. I mean, it isn't enough justification to play it if you don't like that kind of game, but watching a playthrough or a curated visit may be fun for you.
