7 Games Like Disco Elysium With Cloud Gaming Options

Looking for games like Disco Elysium? The best next choice depends on whether you want dense dialogue, a complicated identity, unusual investigations or difficult decisions. These seven games share different parts of that appeal. Each has a positive PC cloud catalog entry in our 27 October 2026 check.

1. Citizen Sleeper — another precarious life to navigate

Citizen Sleeper combines role-playing with the challenge of building a life in an unfamiliar community. It is worth prioritising if the people and difficult circumstances around Disco Elysium’s protagonist interested you as much as the central investigation. Its science-fiction setting creates a different kind of uncertainty.

Cloud options: Boosteroid (Steam / check store). View Citizen Sleeper listings.

2. Pentiment — history, people and an investigation

Pentiment moves the narrative emphasis into a historical setting, where understanding the people around you matters. It is a good direction when you want another thoughtful story to examine rather than an action campaign. Choose it for its character-led mystery and distinctive presentation.

Cloud options: Boosteroid (Steam / Xbox). View Pentiment listings.

3. Planescape: Torment: Enhanced Edition — a philosophical role-playing story

Planescape: Torment is a natural shortlist entry if identity and conversation were the strongest parts of Disco Elysium for you. The Enhanced Edition offers a different fantasy world and an older RPG structure. Pick it for the questions and characters rather than expecting the same detective mechanics.

Cloud options: Boosteroid (Steam). View Planescape: Torment: Enhanced Edition listings.

4. Shadowrun: Dragonfall: Director’s Cut — a story-led cyberpunk RPG

Shadowrun: Dragonfall combines a cyberpunk setting with a party-based role-playing adventure. It is a useful alternative when you want another distinctive world and substantial characters, while also welcoming tactical combat. The detective comparison is less direct than Gamedec’s, but the atmosphere has its own appeal.

Cloud options: GeForce NOW (Steam / Epic). View Shadowrun: Dragonfall: Director’s Cut listings.

5. Gamedec — investigations in virtual worlds

Gamedec casts you as a detective solving problems inside virtual game worlds. Gathering information from witnesses and suspects makes it the clearest investigation-led alternative here. Choose it when you want a fresh setting for drawing conclusions rather than another story centred on the same kind of protagonist.

6. Torment: Tides of Numenera — another unusual setting and big questions

Torment: Tides of Numenera is a story-driven RPG set in a strange science-fantasy world. It suits players who want to inhabit an unfamiliar place and spend time with the ideas behind the adventure. It is a thematic next step rather than a mechanical copy of Disco Elysium.

Cloud options: Boosteroid (Steam / Xbox). View Torment: Tides of Numenera listings.

7. The Thaumaturge — motives, choices and supernatural powers

The Thaumaturge connects a character-driven RPG with the ability to read emotions and uncover motives. It is a good choice when moral ambiguity and interpreting people appeal to you. Turn-based combat and folklore-inspired demons give it a different rhythm and setting from Disco Elysium.

Cloud options: Boosteroid (Steam / Xbox). View The Thaumaturge listings.

Which should you try first?

Citizen Sleeper and Pentiment are strong first choices for character-focused storytelling. Planescape: Torment and Torment: Tides of Numenera suit a taste for philosophical RPGs, while Gamedec is the most direct change of detective setting on this list.
