8/10 game. Some interesting writing, but it can be long winded.

whats the combat like? I was thinking about playing this but it seemed like an investment.

You should also try Bladrunner and StarTrek Unity if you like point and click adventure games.
Disco Elysium has quirky writing. For instance you can choose to side with the commies or the racist nationalists, but they warn you "you don't want the fact that you are a giant fascist in your steam achievements do you?"
The writing is entertaining but sometimes it's a little long winded, and you need a longer attention span to deal with it. That's hard.

I empathised with the waking up hungover and having no memory of where you are thing.

have you played sunless skies/sunless seas? not the same thing but heavily narrative driven, like reading an ebook but sometimes you move a boat around

You get bonuses when you are drunk or on drugs.

All I know about the game is that you start so hungover you have no idea who you are and I think you can kill yourself in your apartment before ever going outside if you get a critical fail while shaving

Light bending guy was kinda annoying. He's kinda just shoehorned in, you find him in a container in the harbour. It doesn't really make sense, and doesn't serve any plot purpose.
Everitt reminded me a little of Jiggaboo as a union boss.
I actually hate isometric view games. If Disco Elysium was a first person view game it'd be 10/10, as good as Bloodlines.
