When I played Tyranny for the first time I sensed something, a feeling I've not felt since Polish history lessons from high school......... And, slightly more seriosly, while there is some nostalgia here or there from the golden time of cRPG Tyranny is something different, taking that genre somewhere else, into the realm of grey and gray morality that actually teaches something about how the history is actually shaped...from the prespective of regular people. While I'hve read similar, grimdark stories before it is notable due to its rich story and background lore, challening the Challenger Depth in depth and mount Everes in highs of writing. Five slaves out of five. However, it is not a perfect game in terms of experience, mostly because of the toppest-notch story. Loading of some segments may take eons, enough to let your eagerness to play it die out like dinosaurs, especially when a wonderfully crafter quest requires you to visit 30+ places in an unexcplainable sequence. Battles may be annoying to go through and there is a lot of minor issues here but lore-wise they are good enough. Also, "expansions" are sub-par when it comes to quality. Three and half of a slave out of five. In overall, a great but slightly flawed experience. If you like crpgs and a well cafted stories grab as soon as possible. If not wait for a discount.
