  I actually loved Tyranny more, but act 3 is seriously rushed. Also new game+ is meh at best.

    Tyranny was such a fun game (rushed act 3 aside). I really wish we’d get more games that explore being the bad guys without:

    • Immediately trying to overthrow them
    • Making it into a joke/comedy

      True true. We need more anti-heroes.

        No no no, see that’s the opposite of what I want. I want more games where you can just straight-up be the villains. Not an anti-hero, not someone who’s trying to change the system from within, not a secret rebel who needs to go along with the bad stuff to keep their cover.

        I want more games where you can just be a villain. I want more games where you can rob the banks, kill the NPCs that aren’t listening, have a big fortress of doom, and fight-off heroes who are trying to stop you.

        Not because of some gray moral backstory that somehow justifies some of it (or that will have people jumping through hoops to justify it like with Mr. Freeze and his wife).

        Just because you can.

        Tyranny gives you a bunch of options to just be evil and not enough RPGs do that properly.

  Dammit PoE is way too overloaded of an acronym. I thought you were referring to Path of Exile and got confused.

    Power over Ethernet
    Perl Object Environment
    PowerOpen Environment
    Product of Experts
    Platform for Open Exploration
    Post Occupancy Evaluation
    Port of entry

    I'm sure there are more.

  I loved Tyranny, but the combat was much worse compared to PoE. For newcomers I would recommend the lowest difficulty setting so they can enjoy the excellent writing and story.
