User reviews & Ratings
Explore reviews from Steam users sharing their experiences and what they love about the game.
Please take the recent reviews with somewhat of a grain of salt, a lot of them are from review bombing the one time publisher of an obsidian game, Paradox over some discord babble upsetting Turkish nationalists. That being said the game itself is quite nice, a subvert of the usual trope where you are expected to play as an agent of an evil warlord, that being said you can rebel and the campaign to do so is nicely fleshed out. I consider the game a bit of a Gem and thus why I am resubmitting a review to explain the odd review bombing going on. That is all.
I recently started playing some older CRPGs that I couldn't play back when I had the patience and the English level of a middle-schooler Turkish boy. Tyranny is my second entry in the genre barring the modern entries, and it was a blast. I had so much fun being this grand person in this vast world, overcoming the challenges the ruthless people of the Tiers throw at me. It is such a shame that this well crafted world had to be put away as the profits of the game didn't meet Paradox's expectations. Moment to moment gameplay is, in a single abbreviation, ok. Once you figure out how the combat works and what is strong and what is not and once you acquire companions that fill the necessary roles, everything becomes quite easy and trivial. Then, fatigue kicks in. For the last 5-6 hours of the game or so, I was just watching the Disfavored and the Chorus die as I do nothing but click a few spells. The equipment that I looted the whole game and the rings I found (the currency of the game) meant practically nothing as I could finish this whole thing without a single artifact. The spell crafting mechanic is rather unique and I think spending time there actually matters as you can create some bonkers magic to perish the psychos of this world. World building, the story, and the dialogues are the highlights here. I am going to start with the weaker sides of these elements. There are some characters that are just stereotypes. Nothing in their dialogues or story suggests that they have been created for anything other than purely representing their or their faction's ideology. They are boring, and I believe one of our companions suffers from this ailment as well. Also, there are some factions that are extremely bland. But, aside from these two issues, the story is fantastic. I loved being this intimidating big guy in a comically evil world. Every action you choose feels like it has serious weight. You might try to be the best person in this messed up world; but at some point conditions and the vileness of the opposing party lead you to choose the dialogue option "Beast, rip his head off" followed by the instant death of a Disfavored commander. I am, unfortunately, a person that roleplays the same character in every RPG I play. Goody two-shoes with a strict side against abusers of the common folk. But, the predicament that you are put in here really distorts your moral compass. The game makes you think, weigh your actions, accept harsh consequences and, worse, it forces you to be an actual tyrant here and there. Some people can't be allowed mercy in the Tiers and some people need to be put in line. The final stretch of the game is a bit rough. It is definitely rushed, but I don't believe the claims that this is an unfinished game. I think the story ends on a perfect note. Yes, it leaves the door open for a sequel but I believe it is a good ending on its own. I gasped at times and I had joy doing some good and some cruelty. Maybe not a game that everyone will enjoy, but I had a lot of fun. It's a bit rough around the edges, but give it a try.
VGH... What is there to say? I know that Obsidian were locked into having to do POE, but man, THIS is what they should have lead with. Tyranny is better than Pillars 1 and 2 in everything important, by a wide margin. The world, the story, the characters, the artstyle, the tone, the themes, the combat, the RPG mechanics, the exploration, the itemization, the choice and consequences... What could have been... What we lost...
