Excellent RPG worth replaying

I have no idea why this game isnt more popular or why some reviewers think its short? STORY 5/5 Pro: The story is unique(reminds me of Brandon Sanderson's Mistborn a bit) and told in a tightly knit manner that just works. I loved the twist in the setting (You start off working for the big bad who rules the world) that adds a touch of "reality" to character and events, making them more relatable. Companions are believable and help add flavor to the world. Just finished my first playthrough at 54 hours and at no point did the game feel like it was dragging on or getting boring. There are no meaningless side quests or large locations to run through for little or no reason. Con: Thanks to Bioware, we have all come to expect companion loyalty missions which could have been done better in Tyranny. ROLEPLAYING 4/5 Pro: This is the first time I've played this style of CRPG in a truly fluid manner. I made decisions as I saw fit without worrying about how the game would react... and I loved it! Characters change behavior based on almost all decisions you make. The world really feels like what you are doing matters and shapes subsequent events. Con: The flexibility of choice-making does hit some bumps, especially as you are locked out of 1 "main path" at the end of Act 1. Further on, a few small encounters force fights based on this main path which conflicts with the flexibility shown in the rest of the game. COMBAT 4/5 Combat is fun and intuitive but has a bit of a learning curve at first. (Especially if you haven't played POE or similar isometric RPGs before) I ran an unarmed self-buff character and enjoyed myself throughout. All combat options seem viable with companions being quite flexible as well. The magic system is intuitive and customizable allowing for various combinations to deal with different situations. Lastly, the game does a great job of making you feel involved and major accomplishments feel immensely rewarding. I would love to see a sequel to expand on the events of the game and am starting my 2nd playthrough with different choices now!

Excellent albeit expensive

I've enjoyed this game immensely ! The lore and worldbuilding are fascinating, and I've taken much pleasure in discovering more of it. It had been quite some time since I last played a game in which I genuinely wanted to know how the story would unfold. The story and setting are quite original, and are actually a great opportunity for those who want to roleplay something other than a good character without feeling like the game is punishing them at every turn for being morally ambiguous. It's been a great roleplaying experience. I also really enjoy the visual choices. I humbly disagree with criticism about the game's alleged too short length : with the extensions my run tallied about 47 hours of play which I believe is a perfectly respectable time. Indeed I'd rather play a short(ish) well-paced captivating game than a Dragon-Age-Inquisition-Go-Fetch-My-Yack type which could have taken at least 2/3 of its current gameplay time to tell the exact same story in an even better way. As for the abrupt story ending, i'm torn. While I'm curious as to where further confrontation could have taken us, I also feel that in order to be satisfyingly resolved it'd have probably needed a whole new game. The real downside, to me, was the fighting gameplay. Tedious at first, one that I had to micromanage, until finally my characters started to snowball and I could speed them up and let them solve everything themselves, only intervening so my main character would cast some spells to level up the related skills. While I really recommend buying both Tales from the Tiers and Bastard's Wound from the start (they made the world feel more complete), I do feel it comes out quite expensive. Thus I'd recommend getting the game during a sale (which will probably still amount to around 40 euros since BW's sales haven't been greater than 10% so far) Thus ends my review that maybe at least someone lost in the last reviews pages will stumble upon and read

4.5/5- A Few Bugs & Quirks Still Present

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.

pretty good

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.

Tyranny, choices matter

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.
