Tyranny - Standard Edition

A great story, great combat. I have recommended it to a lot of people and it deserves to stand the test of time as one of the best CRPG's ever made. That being said I would give Pillars a higher rating, but have enjoyed this game probably far more... as odd as that sound. Tyranny is just that unique, but it's the things that make it unique that give it some of it's noticable quirks. MECHANICS The combat system can be difficult to master and has a pretty steep curve. You may have to play for a couple hours on normal, or even a playthrough before you come back for a real challenge. This combat system takes PoE's 80 steps further and does some really great things. There's powerful artifacts, unlockable character combos, and a whole mess of other things that increase the combat's amazing uniqueness. You even craft and make your own spells, which is very cool in my opinon. You can even name them. You can even change the picture of the spell! Wizards are too powerful! I ran an unarmed combat lightining mage with super quickness. Could heal himself, or any one else anytime he wanted to. Could be the tank, healer, and highest dps'r with CC all in one without really sacrificing much from each area. STORY The story and mechanics are there and your choices defintely affect your expereince in every small manner. It's a very intricate decision making system on top of an intricate combat system. It is shorter than the classics, especially pillars, but you feel extremely accomplished at the end, and through most of it. The characters are good, but not amazing. There's better character writing out there for sure. THE GLITCHES There are still a few glitches. There's a particularly hard and long boss fight that where there still seems to be an issue where you can get frozen in the air. Other than that none, of the other ones were game-breaking. That one did cost me 1 hour (happened multiple times) and I'm salty. Otherwise, they cleared out all the other glitches from launch.

This game is fairly good, has a lot of neat ideas, probably some of the most satisfying CRPG combat ive played in a while and nice visual asthetic and world lore. however its let down by some shoddy writing and does really feel like Obsidians B team made this, they very much try to make you either be a good guy or selfish evil and i really just wanted to play as a loyal mook, they kinda fixed it in patched but you can still feel that design choice. The biggest problem with this game is the length, the game has some great replay value but this comes as a trade off to the story fizzling out at the end, so if you're wanting to get your moneys worth play it through several times! I fpersonally liked this games combat and world much better that POE (the other obsidian game) and its a shame this franchise probably aint getting a continuation. So a fat reccomendation from me lads, protip you can make a spell that adds fire damage to your attacks and on hit creates multiple fireballs and its honestly the best thing since videogames were invented by John E. Videogame

At least, a game with different choices, different ends. Really enjoy the game, and play it mutiple times, usualy I dont restart a game. I am a huge fan. It is like old games with lot of reading (arcanum and co) but I like it.

The story is amazing,the gameplay is good and for the first time,every choice you make,feels that it impacts the world around you.Also has replayability value.BUY THIS GAME you will not regret it

Title says it all, it's an absolutely amazing game. So good. In my first playthrough, I played as slightly evil/douhebaggy and that was a lot of fun, I'm gonna go through the game again and try and be as evil as I possibly can be, this time.
