Similarly, both in-game and menu navigation at large, including the quick travel option (which is a very welcome addition The Final Cut brings to the table), are needlessly difficult with the D-Pad. ![]() For example, taking control of the player character, protagonist and one step away from a full mental breakdown police detective Harrier (or Harry) Du Bois, when he is equipped with a flashlight and in a dark environment proved neigh impossible with the DualSense, as its right stick, which is meant to simulate the movement of a mouse, was clunky at best and simply unfunctional at the worst of times. And whereas, yes, playing with a controller is arguably more comfortable than being hunched over a keyboard and a mouse, as far as this port is concerned, this convenience is not worth the drawbacks as I often found myself fighting the controls. The most frustrating and persistent of these issues has to do with using a controller to play what has been designed with a mouse and keyboard in mind. To start with, a significant portion of my time with Disco Elysium – The Final Cut on PS5 has been marred with various technical issues. Using the DualSense to control the flashlight is clunky at best and simply unfunctional at the worst of times. In fact, although this lacklustre port did dampen my overall time with the game, it was not enough to entirely rob one of the best CRPGs I have ever played of its strengths. Nevertheless, this is not to mean that Disco Elysium – The Final Cut is a bad game or even that this is necessarily a bad experience. ![]() And, after my time with Disco Elysium – The Final Cut on PS5, my expectations have proved true: this is indeed a less-ideal way of playing this game. Knowing full well, then, that Disco Elysium was designed with the computer in mind, I approached the PS5 version somewhat expecting it to be the less ideal way of playing this game. Unfortunately, for players not on PlayStation, like myself, the Xbox and Switch ports will take a little longer as they are set to release sometime this summer. ![]() The release of Disco Elysium – The Final Cut is however more important for primarily console players, since it is only now that one of the best CRPGs in recent memory has made its way outside of the PC/Mac space. In other words, Disco Elysium – The Final Cut remains fundamentally the same game.This being said, PC players can rejoice at the fact that The Final Cut is a free update for every owner of the original game. Much of Preston’s review is true to my experience of playing Disco Elysium – The Final Cut as besides additions such as a fully voiced cast and a new area, among others, there is nothing truly transformative here. In his review of the original, our own Preston Dozsa gave it a 9/10, praising its menu-driven RPG gameplay, deep-character building and the unprecedented freedom it gives players. Disco Elysium – The Final Cut is a revamped version of the 2019 cult classic CRPG released by studio and publisher ZA/UM.
