If we're being serious, the political portions of Ebb are the worst parts. The game is stronger when it moves away from being a Disco clone and takes on a bit of that Planescape: Torment energy. That said, there are parts of Ebb that some people will probably enjoy more than DE just due to personal preference.

I don't think I've seen anyone outside of a few Redditors say Zero Parades is actually better than DE. It's just gonna feel somewhat worse than its predecessor at all times. They don't even give you a partner. Even if you pirate it, I don't think it'd be a very enjoyable experience.

    Yeah the political parts of ebb did fall a bit flat for me but going the whole game telling everyone im apolitical was very funny. For me my life is more Ragn than Harry so it had a stronger impact on me that way. Also I just really liked the characters and world and my capitalist orc wife who casts testicular torsion on me daily

    They don't even give you a partner.

    They 200000000% do. Her name is Melita and she sucks. I like her, and I like that she sucks. She is withholding and manipulative and she lies to you all the time and she string your character along, and it all kind of works for a broken character.

    But it is alsp the only time a game has given me a grade and I have felt a game lacked the authority to judge me.
