Tyranny - Standard Edition

Buggy, but worth buying on sale.

So, I got this a while ago, and just plowed through it. Took about 30 hours. The good: 1) The writing is decent. I liked the change of perspective, and there are certainly lots of options in most situations (there are some glaring exceptions, see below) 1a) In that vein, there are multiple solutions to most situations (sometimes more than 2, which is a refeshing change.) 2) It's not too long, and not too short. I did most, if not all side quests. The bad: 1) It's buggy. I've got missing UI strings all over the place, even after reinstalling. Sometimes, the game just won't start, and I have to kill the process for it to even launch again. I even had it hang on the intro video. 1a) In that vein, the achievements linked to GoG galaxy don't pop. Even though the time tracker does. 2) There is a situation in Act 2 that doesn't give options, and railroads you hard. 3) Act 3 is short. Really short. Overall, the game is a decent length, but it's front loaded. I did about 10 hours in Act 1, 15 in Act2, and 5 in Act 3, and that was taking my time in Act 3. 4) The pathing is pretty terrible. I've had characters run around the entire fight melee to get to a person right in front of them. Overall, if you can get it on sale, it's worth a playthrough. It's not worth full price though.
