The way choices and consequences are handled and the way it rewards failing forward is fantastic.
Title close to says it all. The world, story, and characters are engaging and fascinating, the reactivity of decisions is awesome, the game itself is gorgeous (and the soundtrack A+)... riiight up until the final act. Significantly shorter and feels a bit fumbled, though the heart is still there. Definitely not stopping me from making another character and replaying again (and again, probably, and again...), but it's the reason I gave a 4/5 rather than 5/5. As someone who isn't terribly experienced with cRPG/isometric style games I was worried about the combat presenting a barrier, but my worries were proven wrong! And the magic system is brilliant - I had loads of fun, and usually I find those sort of customizable magic systems way too tedious to bother with, but they definitely managed to avoid that. There were occasional bugs that I encountered, but nothing gamebreaking, and all in all I'd definitely recommend giving Tyranny a shot - particularly if you're a fan of solid roleplaying games.
