![]() At the time of writing, Patch 1.5 on most platforms, including PS5, and Patch 1.5.2 on PS4 have the game in a stable state, but it must be said that at release and shortly after, the game was riddled with bugs and issues ranging from minor ones like voice lines not triggering at the right time to more major ones which impeded some players from being able to finish important quests. Sadly, though, this is not where the problems of this port begin and end. “ This is not where the problems of this port begin and end.“ A good solution to this problem, yet one that is undoubtedly difficult, would be to work on mouse and keyboard functionality on consoles – in the same way The Final Cut has added controller support to the PC version. Obviously, all of these problems are alleviated by using a mouse and keyboard but that option is not made available when playing on console. Fortunately for Disco Elysium, since it is an isometric RPG, there is never a point in the game which requires twitch-fast reactions so the controls could never really let me down. 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. ![]() Make sure you subscribe to our push-notifications and never miss an update from the world of video games.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. ![]() For more content, stay with us, here at Spiel Times.
