Refreshing!
This is actually the first review of a game I have ever written .. as Tyranny prompted me to do so. IMHO - It's one of the most refreshing titles in the last 10 years when it comes to computer RPG's (and my 'top' few fantasy cRPG picks when it comes to the STORY [as its all about the story, dug!] are PS:T, BG2, NWN2: MotB..). It's on that level, IMHO. Not sure where all the reviews about it being short come from, I'm __20__ hrs in and it feels like I'm maybe half-done (2 Spires are mine). So if I get 30-40 hours of a good story out of this, then I'm more than happy and anxiously looking forward to the next one. The plot itself and the atmosphere is as if Glen Cook (Black Company), Steven Eriksson (Malazan Book of the Fallen) and George RR Martin got together and had a baby with the Pillars of Eternity game engine. There's just so many (un)intended similarities with factions and characters of the Malazan series and the Black Company that it .. warms my heart, because I'm IN it now and I can INTERACT with those factions/characters. Characters are absolutely amazing - very convincingly written, there is an engrossing amount of dialogue you can have with your party members to learn their rich and very deep and interesting stories. I must first admit that i was reluctant at first when it comes to the combat engine - as i truly hated combat in Pillars of Eternity - but it doesn't in Tyranny. Not sure why, as it's very similar! And I'm writing this before I even finished the game, so that says something! I also ALREADY want to replay it to make different choices and see how they will shape the world and what the consequences will be! HIGHLY recommend for every _classic_ RPG nerd with a fondness for mature dialogues, morally ambiguous choices.. and much more. Go and play it. You won't regret it. Oh, and my first playthru is on 'Hard' difficulty if that's in any way relevant to what I wrote above. There were several few spots where I had to reload a couple times and rethink strategies!
