-New art !! style isnt exactly the same but its still visually interesting
-I think they did a good job with making the UI mobile- ive seen people saying it looks like shit (just based on screenshots, mind you) but tbh i think it works way better on a smaller screen that the open world of the original game
-i like the files they added on everyone's character it really feels like youre a police officer keeping notes
-not a big thing but i think its cool that the people you talk to on radios are monochrome and overlayed over the background they look like ghosts
-there are some sections where you can use your phone to look around like youre actually IN martinaise and its so fun
-the compartmentalized format does make it easier to digest and play without getting fatigued or overwhelmed. unfortunately
-more high quality images of my beloved kim kitsuragi
things i dont like:
-its a LOT more linear. i get why they wanted to do that but i dont like how limited your freedom is to pick what you interact with and when
-i cant prove it yet but i feel like theres cut content?? like maybe they just moved it around but it feels like theres thing missing
-when you leave and area you *cant go back.*
-like if you get a thread to follow that takes you backwards itll just bring you into the conversation. you cant reenter an area so you HAVE to fully explore before moving on
-the thought cabinet timers are based on irl times and not in game progress. so it genuinely takes like six hours of waiting to unlock stuff
-this is a nitpick but they changed some of the sound effects when you interact with things and I just like the old ones better. every other sound is the same though
FINAL THOUGHTS:
I give it a solid 6/10
Its really obviously a cashgrab but FOR a cashgrab its pretty solid. its fun and i like that i can play it while im at work.
i would absolutely rather play the original and i would not recommend it for someones first time playthrough, but if you've already played and want some extra content/a way to play when youre out an about, its a solid consolation prize.

Susie and Joel’s argument at the end of S1 makes it very clear they stand on the same level of importance in Midge’s life. And it has the same air as the ex and the current partner arguing about the protagonist’s happiness and life. They continue and continue to be clear parallels, the only two true loves of Midge Maisel’s life. The only two people who could make her laugh like that, in the beginning and the end
im really surprised that most of the marvelous mrs maisel content on here is about midge x lenny bruce like while i found their relationship interesting it could never hold a candle to the (platonic or romantic) dynamic of susie and midge. or joel and midge. or benjamin and midge even. like lenny was such a small part of the show i cant believe people are so obsessed with him. actually maybe i can
i like that kim kitsuragi famously smokes a very small amount compared to other characters in DE but he is drawn with a cigarette more than any other character
something that endlessly bugs me in disco elysium fan works is when people make jean put to be some kind of vindictive angry asshole like no all of you misunderstood him PLEASE.
he so so clearly cares about harry but harry has dragged that man through the mud and hurt him so many times that jean just cant do it anymore. he's not mean because he hates harry its the opposite hes loves him so much it hurts
