As much as we love it, Disco is definitely like catnip for video essays.
Basically any game where the gameplay takes a backseat to the story, or the story is told through weird gameplay mechanics. Something like Ultrakill is a good one that skirts the line with good gameplay and an absolutely wild story.

As a Disco Elysium enjoyer, that sucks because so much of the enjoyment is experiencing the very good writing and interacting with it, and I think a lot is lost by having someone just talk about it instead of letting the game present its own voices.
That's true, but the slop for disco is more about world building or how a specific character relates to a real ideology. Lees about the game as a whole experience.
