Tyranny - Gold Edition

Half of a Good Game

The concept, story, and writing are all well done with only very few exceptions (the most blatant I experienced was a companion character that was irate with me just a moment before acting all chummy when I spoke to them again). So, yes, the game itself is great - better than Pillars of Eternity, in my humble opinion. But the ending comes so abruptly that you feel that the train has derailed just as it got up to speed. DLC is incoming and this DLC will likely be the closure that was withheld from the main game. I cannot recommend what amounts to a book with the last few chapters ripped out to be paid for separately. Update 9/8/2017: Still not a complete game. The story is sitting at the climax and they are dragging out the build-up. All the DLC released thus far is "side quest" stuff (and the latest requires you to replay Act Two if you want to experience it, despite Act Three being the current end point). I'm all for developers receiving just compensation for their work. But this is a cliff-hanger of a game with the conclusion being held hostage while they peddle auxiliary content.
