If you liked to play the old Baldurs Gate or Icewind Dale games, you're gonna like Tyranny.
Compared to Pillars of Eternity, the game is more action oriented, but that is fine by me. The missions are straight and the maps are not very big but there are a lot of them. But you usually don't need to back and forth to complete a quest.
There are also a lot of different choices you can make that impact the story and gives the game great replay value. You can be good or bad, its up to you.
You can also design your spells. Combat is easy and you feel like you are a bit overpowered.

The downsides for me are that you can only take 3 companions at a time of the 6 available. Also the bastards wound dlc area is not very polished compared with the rest of the game. If you do something out of the order the designers imagined you cant finish some side quests.

I definitely recomend Tyranny for anyone who likes isometric real time with pause rpg's.

The game is very fun and reminds me of the old grand prix manager from microprose.
The only downside for me is that despite the pc version being more complex than the mobile original, it still has some arcade feeling, some things could be better. This will probably turn into an yearly release version like the CM games. For the second one I expect more, but to start this is very good.

Pros:
- graphics and style. For a manager game are very nice.
- you hire drivers, staff
- develop parts
- control strategy
- develop HQ
- sponsors
- rules change during seasons. You have the best engine on the grid and for the next they decide to give equal engines to everyone.
Cons:
- things feel a little arcade. doing laps in practice you get % bonus for the race, or tyre type that you try. It should be more about finding about tyre degradation, fuel consumption, diference between tyre compounds.
- everything works a bit with the % bonus or penalty. that gives it a little arcade feeling.
- during races a driver does one lap, the next he is 3 seconds faster, than 2 seconds slower. They seem a bit random. My example is exagerated but it does feel like that a bit
- If your driver is cought with blue flags, even if he is faster, he will let the leader go, than pass him, than get a blue fllag and let him pass and than pass him, and so on. Hope they fix this.

A good game, but very arcade like. Hours will pass as you make a couple of races. But I hope that if a second game is made it will be more of a simulator.
