I am expecting a lot of Disco Elysium, here...and nothing wrong with that!

A video gaming student organization I was once part of actually had a vote on their favorite sayings. The winner was the evergreen "Perhaps the same said could be said of all religions..." from Castlevania: Symphony of the Night! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OMTizJemHO8

Later we had a second voting, which decided on the cult classic Trio the Punch's "BAD CHOICE"! https://youtu.be/rIPtzZHJnkg?t=454

My personal favorite? It's hard to say...but hey, that's what the scientist in Half-Life can comment, word to word! So maybe I'll put forward, said by the aforementioned: "My god, what are doing!?"

Tl;dr: Check title.

The game is clever and well written but I'm not convinced the gameplay is generic on purpose. I've heard that before but never bought it.

Now yeah the devs put in things to make you uncomfortable, like the white phosphorus thing or how you can accidentally shoot civilians. And the game mocks you. But the gameplay is otherwise kind of typical for the time. It does get needlessly difficult at certain parts, and that's probably an aspect of the narrative, but the gameplay itself was probably intended to be functional and engaging.
