Tyranny is a game about the nature of power. It creates a real believable evil which constructs systems of laws and hierarchies, binding those below while empowering itself.
By making you complicit as just a single cog, it asks you to consider that even with the best of intentions, a rotten system will corrupt you, twist you to its own ends until there’s nothing left but the cruelty of the outcome.
Tyranny made me feel like crap. It gives the player a mirror and I did not always like what it showed me. It is an incredible experience.
