Tyranny

I usually write longer reviews but for this one all I've got to say is GIVE US A DAMN SEQUEL YOU COWARDS!!!

Overrated as hell.

Underrated game that gives many realistic choices to work through that create introspection during roleplay and investment in the story.

150+ часов, 6 прохождений и при этом отрицательный отзыв. Типичная игра от Obsidian - интересная идея, необычный сюжет, отличная завязка. Но. Как обычно, им не хватило времени, чтобы всё это действительно заработало. Контент скатывается чуть ли не после первого акта, на лицо куча дыр и недоделок. Из четырёх основных путей прохождения хорошо проработаны только два. То же самое и по части геймплея - сразу видно, что игра формировалась вокруг системы создания заклинаний. Но даже она сделана наполовину. Баланс между школами магии отсутствует напрочь, некоторые ветки вообще бесполезны. Уровни сложности сделаны по шутерному типу - на высоком у врагов просто выкручено ХП и резисты. Всё. Всех боссов вы будете тупо забивать чистым уроном, ибо никакие дебаффы на них не действуют. Отдельный минус за неудачную попытку вернуть часть вырезанного из основной игры контента в ПЛАТНОМ длц.

The best of this generation of CRPGs. A little smaller in scope - fewer party members, shorter play time - but really fantastic in tone and writing and satisfaction. There's a whole spell-crafting system which is crazy ambitious for a game like this.

I wish there were Tyranny 2...

This game has only one selling point, the story, since it's basically a Visual Novel with very little gameplay and very much reading. The combat gets frustrating because your party members AI is just not good, you can set it to whatever, it still needs you to tell every partymember what to do after every skilluse because the AI doesn't use them effectively, so you're stuck pausing and unpausing every second or so. when you are not running around very small maps. Now get this. Tyranny lore is a Warhammer 40k offbrand. I am now in act two and I feel like I'm playing a 40k parody. Example without spoilers: The master of mankind has conquered nearly everything there is to conquer with the power of his superhuman generals the Archons, for example the Archon of War (The Warmaster) and his unstoppable legion of supersoldiers that can survive wounds that would kill a man ten times over and they can march for days without breaking a sweat, clad in special armor, few in number, the best of the best etc. and you run into more and more very familiar lore the longer you play. If lore is the only selling point you have, at least write it yourselves.

The best rpg out there. Meaningfull, non-manichaean choices with actual consequences throughout the whole game 4 main story paths, multiple endings Freedom of build Interesting characters and character interactions Original and intriguing world setting (inspiration seems to include antiquity and USSR, among others), which mysteries you'll want to unravel Beautiful DA There will be no right or wrong choices here, no obvious "perfect" path. Every decision has consequences, for better AND worse, in a world where belief is power and gods walk among humans.
