Live up to the hype (mostly)

This is the first computer RPG I've ever played that made me feel almost like I was playing a pen-and-paper RPG. The choices are that intricate and deep. Playing through just the intro is amazing, and I am not a person who gives praise lightly. The NPCs are also great and detailed and fun and well-voiced— much more than I usually find in a CRPG. The combat system is much like Pillars of Eternity, and works fairly well. There's a bit more micromanagement than I'd like, given that the combat AI leaves a bit to be desired. Still, it's not bad, and that's a minor complaint. There are also currently some bugs, though I imagine they'll be fixed relatively soon, and given the scope of the game, there are honestly very few of them. The worst gripe I have with Tyranny is that it ends abruptly, just when I felt like my character was really starting to hit stride. I honestly considered dropping a star for this, but on the whole I think the game still deserves a 5/5.

Finished game - review

To all sceptic players, that this game is too short... For my 1st playthrough on PotD difficulty and expert mode ON it took me around 63 hours. I did approx. 95% of side quests and exploring. To compare it with Pillars of Eternity, on same difficulty it was 1/2 of the time spent (in PoE I had 120h). And I also have to mention that the replayability of Tyranny is definitely higher. If you liked PoE, this is a no-brainer.

nice prologue

liked: * challenging at first. * trying to game the system. * some of the dialog and philosophy is interesting. disliked * feels rushed; lots of cut'n'paste going on. * never really in control; always running errands for others. * steal without consequence. * combat is ponderously slow, even with fast mode. * leveled npcs and loot. would like to have seen * a more versatile magic system. see legend (1992) aka: The Four Crystals of Trazere. * completed game. * non-leveled npcs/loot instead of artificially blocked regions - if you go there too early you just get one-punched. * automation options, eg: heal when below 50%, guard mode, always taunt, use party buffs only. * create laws in your territory, hire people to govern, see the consequences. * given the above, more towns. * stamina based APs instead of cool-down: attack as fast as possible then catch your breath, or pace it. * option to switch off environment fx.

A decent game...

I did actually enjoy playing and finishing the game, unfortunately, the experience went from "this is very cool" to "ah, this could be so much better". Yes, it's true that the game feels a bit short (and the end comes quite abruptly - it's like when you set up a scene, characters, rich history (or its illusion)... and then bash, boom, bang, the end. I did enjoy the game more than Pillars of Eternity, probably. I found the characters to be (a bit) more memorable, some sections genuinely good (e.g., the burning library), but: a) The game is very small, spatially - the number of areas isn't massive, and many of them are single screen. Even the big ones are quite small, you can run from end-to-end in a short time. There is nothing like the feeling of exploration of large (and not boring!) areas, such as in Arcanum, Baldur's gate, Fallout, etc. etc. b) Narrow story - it's not "linear", as there are branches, but the game felt like I was steered from choice to choice, not living the story in even remotely natural way. It's often impossible to make fairly sensible choices, because the game doesn't offer it to you, while it would, if you went in a very subtly different way. c) No strong side-quests. This is probably what made the game clearly worse for me than some other existing RPGs. Remember stories like Valygar entering his globe, or going after Jierdan Firkraag in BG2 - such examples, which are good stories on their own, are tightly woven into the world's fabric, and make it richer, and character deeper. Well, there is nothing like that here at all. At all :( d) Problematic balance of items - there was never a real need to buy items, as they were never better than what I have found. From the half of the game on, I was swamped in named and fancy-looking artifacts... but no incentive to use them. All in all, a nice world, I enjoyed the graphics and sounds, but just too shallow a game to score better for me.

Small Text

Absurdly small text in a game that requires lots of reading.
