El nuevo RPG de Obsidian, donde nos pondremos en la piel de uno de los oficiales del ejército de Kyros (yes, esta vez seremos los "malos"), sale hoy mismo a la venta para PC, Mac y Linux y los medios especializados han publicado las primeras críticas.
Parece que el juego ha gustado pero hay varios reviewers que se quejan de falta de pronfundidad en el gameplay amén de que el juego termina de manera un tanto abrupta y/o extraña. A favor destacan el guión, con un worldbuilding fantástico, y el replay value, que es bastante grande.
Rock, Paper, Shotgun - John Walker - No Verdict
Muddled? I am. There’s so much going on here, but I never really feel like I’ve got a proper grip on it. It feels like a puddle the size of the Atlantic – this vast concept, but too gossamer to sink in deep. Huge stories, but minor roles in them. Exquisite detail, but all going by too fast. And yet, pretty good with it. Just not as good as what’s come before.

GameWatcher - Michael Brown - 9 / 10.0
Another fantastic game from Obsidian, the formula they have created from Pillars has served up another brilliant RPG for people to sink their teeth into for hours of Tyrannical enjoyment.
Game Rant - Rob Gordon - 4.5 / 5 stars
Obsidian returns to the world of old-school RPG gaming with aplomb through Tyranny, a fantasy epic armed to the teeth with a plot of deception and intrigue.
Expansive - Ray Willmott - 9 / 10
The combination of Obsidian and Paradox is the closest thing to a gaming dream team we can imagine and the result of that partnership definitely does not disappoint. Simply put, Tyranny is the finest RPG to launch this year and I love it.
WCCFtech - Francesco De Meo - 9 / 10.0
Tyranny perfectly encapsulates what makes a role-playing game great. With superb writing, an engaging story and setting, solid mechanics and huge replay value, the new game from Obsidian Entertainment is a must play for all true RPG lovers. Tyranny isn't just about the triumph of evil: it is the triumph of role-playing games.
MMORPG.com - William Murphy - 9 / 10.0
Tyranny is a game that must be played by any RPG fan. Some may knock its “old school” approach and style, but that’s about the only complaint that could be levied against such a wonderfully unique and deep RPG. It does everything Pillars of Eternity tried to do and it does so better. Consider Tyranny highly recommended and one of the best RPGs of the year.
Hardcore Gamer - Chris Shive - 4 / 5.0
Tyranny offers a unique RPG experience where the standard good vs evil format is turned on its side.
PC Gamer - Steven Messner - 75 / 100
Repetitive combat and an abrupt ending spoil what is otherwise a remarkable feat of worldbuilding.
PCWorld - Hayden Dingman - 3.5 / 5 stars
Tyranny is flawed, but more in the vein of a future cult classic than a failure. It's got great ideas, just not the depth to let them shine.
DestinoRPG - Adell Sparda - Sin nota
Tyranny es una obra que despliega mimo en todos y cada uno de sus aspectos. Desde lo elaborado de su lore, a la variedad y originalidad de su historia, con sus múltiples decisiones, el variado sistema de combate, con tantos elementos originales que funcionan a las mil maravillas, su dificultad adaptable, su buen nivel técnico...
Es, sin lugar a dudas, mejor que Pillars of Eternity y, comparado con algunos de los mejores RPGs de la historia que usan esta misma mecánica, también podría estar por encima de joyas imperecederas como Dragon Age: Origins o Baldur's Gate II. Sus pegas son muy reducidas y algunas de ellas seguramente tendrán solución próximamente con algún parche, por lo que no queda más que aplaudir a Obsidian por haber logrado un título tan redondo sin agarrarse a ninguna saga existente de forma directa.
El juego se puede adquirir en Steam, GoG y Humble Bundle.
