Maybe you were thinking of Colin Spacetwink's Vice article?

For Disco Elysium, the issue is a lack of sincerity, a defensive posture adopted to keep you from getting too close to what is at its core—an ache to believe in the revolutionary politics and possibilities of communism, and a fear of the sincerity it requires.

Lotsa people in here talking about how rich games journalists are fake leftists who have low media literacy and cannot engage with the works they review while parroting the same kind of rhetoric as the extremely fail old sniper communist

When I say this game may be the most artisticly accurate and honest portrayal of politics EVER, I mean it.

Seriously, those thought cabinet descriptions of Marxism and Centrism are so dead on it's scary. I've never really tussled with Fascism, but if it's anything as depressing as this game depicts then it explains why all these mass shooters are right-wing suicidal maniacs.

“The emotional draw here is, of course, that pretty girl who didn't want to sleep with you. The other ideologies don't explain why that happened. Fascism does.”

Really all that needs to be written on the matter

I was surprised at the pretty big spoilers in the trailer, though if you hadn't played it you probably wouldn't realize it. Looks like the big sellers (well, for those that don't have it already) are added quests and more voice acting.

e. According to the website and for those that are going to double-dip with the PS5 version, it's 4K 60 FPS. And apparently it's not just more quests, but a whole new area.
