Considering how half-baked and shallow the game is, the price tag is truly baffling. If you can get the whole thing at 15~ $ then it's probably worth it, but anything above that is too much. They also made the decision to gate maps and other content behind clearing the campaigns/challenges, before it can be used in sandbox mode. It's a pretty strange decision in a simulation game, but it wouldn't be that bad, if not for the fact that the campaigns are absolutely atrocious. The voice acting and writing alone is enough to make you cry for help. Don't buy it unless it's cheap and you're really starved for dinos.

Tyranny is, in many ways, the quintessential Obsidian game. An expertly written, interesting story with interesting characters and meaningful choices. Wrapped up in uninspired, sometimes clunky mechanics and technical mediocrity.

This game's premise, of you being the loyal servant of an evil overlord, is unique in both it's idea and execution. There are of course other games where you play as the bad game, but with Tyranny manages to have you choose your particular kind of evil. You never feel shoehorned into a certain style, nor did I ever feel that I was simply going through the motions. Your choices matters, and changes the world around you and they're so plentiful that you can do several, truly different playthroughs.

This isn't a perfect game. It probably isn't the best Obisidan game either, by any metric, but the game has some unique to it. Something that, if it hooks you, will keep you coming back.
I highly recommend anyone who enjoys CRPGs or Obsidians writing, to give it a try. Many of you might not like it, or just find it mediocre, but some of you will fall in love. Just like I did.

The best ARPG on the market today.
