Disco Elysium offers many hours of content and an interesting approach to replayability, although it is not particularly well executed, as each playthrough can take up to 20-25 hours to complete.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
51 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The game's soundtrack is truly excellent, featuring a great collection of instrumental pieces that perfectly complement the atmosphere and reinforce the emotional weight of its most important moments.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.

The character design was very good, especially I love the writing of Kim Kitsuragi, also love the great duo of him and the main character!
Graphics

Beautiful art style and nice looking graphics and textures. very unique, but nothing too fancy, it fits the environment so well.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
15 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I figured a game without combat might only be worth one run, but the number of branching paths, hidden secrets, and build options makes it super tempting to start over with a completely different character.
