Tyranny

Tyranny is a really good game and you should absolutely check it out. Pay no attention to all recent negative reviews from losers upset that Paradox criticized Turkey’s genocidal authoritarian leader.

Look Obsidian, I usually love you guys to death, but absolutely ♥♥♥♥ whatever happened here. I was exactly halfway through the game, actually getting invested, and my save file just gets completely and utterly ♥♥♥♥♥♥. Corrupted out of nowhere. Hours of progress straight down the toilet. I had to drop the game right there because there is zero chance I'm grinding through all of that from scratch again. It's been literally years, I just randomly remembered this game even existed, and I'm still salty enough to come back and drop this review. What's the point of a good RPG if it just randomly decides to nuke your progress? I'm never starting this over.

low, discriminatory pricks with no shame of hiding the fact

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 didn't know what to expect. I didn't read anything about the game, other than it was similar to Planescape: Torment. It was slow to start, but fun overall. You get to make your own choices, throughout the entire game. And those choices shape the outcome.

Great throw back CRPG. Refreshing take on the 'evil lord' shtick. It's a throw back, so ya the controls/combat isn't THAT demanding. However I feel the story and pacing (it isn't a terribly long game) kept me engaged.
