As a successor, ZA/UM's spy-fi RPG is a little too fearful to roll the dice on something new

The second game from Disco Elysium studio ZA/UM, this text-heavy, dice-driven RPG is an exquisitely constructed take on empire, nostalgia and beyond.

Disco Elysium's shadow looms large, and while Zero Parades: For Dead Spies stumbles into imitation at times, it's still an excellent and richly detailed RPG in its own right.
