I don't know why, but I really didn't enjoy it. I like pretty much every single critically acclaimed game there is, but Disco Elysium bored the hell out of me. It was basically a visual novel with this clunky split personality disorder thing going on. The humour was pretty "so THAT just happened" which explains why it got so popular with Redditors.
Idk, I played it until I got to some group of union workers arguing on some big wall before I just couldn't stomach any more.
