I’m really enjoying it so far. I’m solidly in the middle of Act 2 and about to start The Winter March part 1.
I’m playing it on my Steam Deck and I’m really liking how I’ve got the controls set up. I grabbed a community template and made some additions of my own. I added a virtual menu for the left trackpad and changed the right joystick to handle scrolling long text and menus.
The story is good and I’m hanging in there on Easy. I figured I’d end up going down to the Story difficulty.
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.
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.

Great game. If you even remotely like PoE, give Tyranny a try.
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.
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:
True true. We need more anti-heroes.

Ah, I misunderstood you. Yeah, it would be refreshing to see that as well.
Dammit PoE is way too overloaded of an acronym. I thought you were referring to Path of Exile and got confused.
