The RPG Greetings, traveller, and welcome back to The Register Plays Games, our monthly gaming column. Happy birthday to me and merry Winterfest to you, gamers of the world moonlighting as IT pros. And let's not forget to have a bountiful New Year. It's been an absolute blast writing this thing for the past eight months, so thanks for reading. We round out 2019 with a look at one of its big success stories – Disco Elysium.

For all the big-budget titles of 2019 – the Jedi: Fallen Orders, Death Strandings, Modern Warfares and Sekiros – it was a comparatively left-field oddity that struck gold at the year's Game Awards a couple of weeks ago. But it's not because Disco Elysium took home gongs for best Fresh Indie, RPG, Independent Game and Narrative that we took the plunge in this merriest of months.
