Report #278: Tyranny
So much text to read
Nice game played. Tyranny is from the gameplay very similar to Pillars of Eternity for example. Focused on a lot of story and lore, you will have a lot of conversations with NPCs where you have to do a lot of decisions. Also almost every dialog option has some effect, either by avoiding/starting a fight, favor or wrath towards a faction or companion.
The fights are a lot of micromanagement and taking care of a lot of skill trees (one per character). After a while I got frustrated by some harder fights and I reduced the difficulty to story mode.
It’s one of those CRPGs I really want to replay just to see the different outcomes you can get. I rather liked it in my review and it helps game is on the shorter side.
So much text to read
Which is funny because it’s the game that made the public aware of the dialog hyperlink system so it doesn’t have to dump paragraphs worth of text at you.
I absolutely loved Tyranny, even more than Pillars of Eternity (which I still need to finish)! Some of the choices the game forces you to make are seriously difficult and make you question your morals, or at least they had that impact on me.
