Back to the Disco - the trailer does look ... interesting, but probably not something that'll make the RTX 3090 sweat
Yup, proving once again that graphics have next to nothing to do with creating a great game or a great experience.
A good discussion on reddit about how good Disco is for gamers:
Elysium ruined games for me, it’s that good.
This game is so well written, everything you do feels meaningful and like it actually has a purpose. I never felt like my time was being wasted and this game taught me so much, the story, the dialogue, I’ve never played anything like it.
It is rare to describe games in this way. For example, Half-Life 2 and Alyx are great games, but they are not depicted in such high regard. The HL franchise is great for different reasons, falling in to the realm of Shooter with Puzzle Solving (e.g. Tomb Raider). Alyx is great 'for a VR game,' but as a pancake game it is rather luckluster compared to the rest of that market.
For me, the closest VR Game where everything felt meaningful with an actual purpose (with next to zero time wasted) was Lone Echo.
Looks like I will be picking up Disco from the Steam Summer Sale to see what all the rage is about.

It has a story which is still a mystery after all those years. Not many shooters with puzzles has those type of stories.

I would say that there is an even mix of shooters with story vs those shooters aimed towards pure multiplayer competitive play. Doom, Wolfenstein, and the Metro series are examples of shooters with an amazing story.
There is no mystery in story of those games.
You could compare number of posts and videos about hl story and any other game story.
ps. may be mass effect is another example? some more.
