Tyranny is another great RPG from Obsidian. Very in the style of Pillars of Eternity so all thebase mechanics should be instantly familiar. Where Tyranny sets itself apart from PoE is in its story and setting. The choices you get to make are impactful and can have major consequences leaving plenty of replayability. The numerous difficulty settings allow for a real challenge for the hardcore, it does have an issue with enemy diveristy and some minor issues but I think overall its just a great game with a wonderful at style and the muscial soundtrack is phenomenal. Well worth picking up.

A fantastic Indie Stealth Strategy game with a stunning art style and great mechanics. Highly recommend it to everyone especially fans of games like This War Of Mine.

Easily one of the best indie games I have played this year. Fun, fast paced combat, lots of character customization and fun matches. Donside is that currently it does lack gamemodes but more modes and characters are on the way. From a techincal standpoint, the game runs at a solid 60fps and looks great, encouted very few graphical bugs in the early access build.

If you like lots of story with multiple choices, paths and endings then this is certainly for you. If your looking for something more interactive like FTL or dont enjoy reading walls of text then this wont be to your liking.

Overall I Am Setsuna is a solid title mechanically and narratively, yet it remains a disappointing one. Its need to be validated by the titles long past have left the developers playing it all too safe in every aspect. Every part of the game is unoriginal and looms in the shadow of its spiritual predecessors. while I would recommend it to fans of JRPGS, because it is ultimately a good game despite its occasional odd design choice. I certainly feel that square enix have ultimately wasted a new IP that could have been so much more than a chrono trigger/final fantasy wannabe. A nod to the past is one thing but when that drive to capture the pasts nostaligia starts to hamper orginal design and narrative, you create a game that feels half of what it should be.

A charming but flawed RPG. Interesting world, characters and story but certainly has its problems. Worth a look for RPG players and fans of Spiders previous works. While there have been slight improvements to things such as the combat since Bound By Flame, overall it wasn't the leap forward in quality that I had hoped for.

Massively improved since original launch. Free to play model is great with free players able to access all content with no restrictions. New player experience is improved and more fluid. A huge improvement overall and well worth a second look if you have played before and if not, nows the time to play.

A charming indie real time tactics game with fun zero grav physics . Great lovecraftian atmosphere with done tones and humour. Camera can be an issue in combat.

The game certainly has some issues including bugs, crashes and lack of useful navigation tools but under its rough outside lies a game that contains charm. It's focus on infomation brokering and relationsip building is a unique take in a genre that has never done well with diplomacy.
