Short, but fun

Absolutely flawed, but a neat little romp that will be appreciated by any fan of Baldur's Gate and similar games. There's been a lot of division in the ratings- the honest truth is definitely that this game is good-but-flawed, and how much you'll enjoy it depends on you. Probably get it on sale, and keep expectations in check. You play as an ambassador of The Big Bad who is called Kyros. The Bad Guys are conquering a new land, and you help lead the charge. That's different from the usual, heroes' journey. The whole draw is that there are many factions in this world, including two armies making up the bulk of Kyros' forces. The problem is, the designers clearly have a preferred way for you to interpret the story. I'm not spoiling anything but I have to say- you can't just be in league with the Big Bad. Like you might think, okay I'm Darth Vader working for The Emperor so I'm going to lead the forces of evil to a glorious victory. That sounds amazing, right? Well, you can't do that. Just to give you a little non-spoilery insight, during the whole intro the two armies of the forces of evil bicker like spoiled children. This never ends through the whole game, and is kind of lame to me. How did they ever get this far to begin with if they're so bad at working together? So the concept is great and worth exploring, but the execution is flawed. I beat the game in three sittings, let's say 9-12 hours total? This was doing all the side quests in the first act, half in the second act, and only the main story in the third act. There's plenty more playtime to be had, but given that the game won't let me play my way I'm not eager to revisit all of it. I got the game on sale, so that's okay. Combat is dead slow, but decently balanced for most playstyles. Writing is generally solid, Lantry especially stands out as a neat character. Cool concept, plenty to explore. Great bargain game, not an all-time classic, not worried about a sequel.

A fascinating role-playing experience

If you're like, you play Obsidian games for the branching plot lines, interesting characters, and dynamic faction systems. Tyranny delivers all of that, and it's wrapped in a refreshingly and authentically evil premise. The game took me through the most interesting mediation on the nature of power since "War and Peace." If that sounds exaggerated or pretentious, it's just that I reallly can't describe any other way. For a setting, the game eschews standard medieval fantasy land for a more bronze-age aesthetic, which I appreciated. On the mechanical side, I personally did not care for the combat system in this game. It runs in real time while allowing plauses, but in no way benefits from its real time component, and relies heavily on pressing ability buttons constantly. Not my cup of tea, but you may like it. Despite the combat, the game's story and role-playing elements impressed me so much that I count this as one of the best modern RPGs.

Does not run.

Launched for while, crashed after mere minutes. Unloaded, Reinstalled. More than once. Now it won't even launch after a new install. If you read the reviews, you will see many, many too similar experiences over a long period of time without it being "fixed".

Enjoyed it a lot, even if not perfect.

I really enjoyed the game. I was little irritated by limited choices because of relation to the faction. Your character should be above it... Also, rare items should be rare, not laying in every pile of junk... :)

Rough, but very good

Tyranny features great world building and plot, with clever and branching dialogues. Our choices matter in story development and later dialogues, sometimes in unexpected ways, but it is rarely feels unfair. Game also features combat mechanics with original spin. My only criticism is that it is constantly felt that developers had to save money and time on development – UI is rough and doesn’t look good on high-DPI monitors, few dialogues have voiceover, score, while being memorable, is criminally short. But if you can see past this roughness, you will enjoy yourself.
