What players say
Players are split on Esoteric Ebb. Some praise its humor, characters, and D&D mechanics as a worthy spiritual successor to Disco Elysium, while others find the writing tedious, the politics forced, and failures frustrating rather than fun. The game is heavily text-based with little voice acting, and many note it focuses almost entirely on dialogue over exploration or combat.
