Tyranny is another showcase of Obsidian’s penchant for quality world-building and writing prowess, but limitations in the game’s scope and length as well as repetitive gameplay prevent Tyranny from being a must-play title even for fans of western styled RPGs. That said, it is an interesting enough experience that those who decide to undertake the role of Fatebinder will experience a mostly memorable tale of conquest and rebellion.

Beast of Winter is a strong self-contained story that expands on some of the background lore of the series, but just feels all too short and limited.
Another lackluster DLC for Pillars of Eternity II.
A huge, imaginative CRPG that could have stood toe to toe with the genre's best, but instead finds itself crudely stapled together, clearly not ready to be released.
Fallout 76 offers a large playground with some potential, but is heavily lacking in purpose.
Darksiders III falls short of the games it's imitating, but it is still an engaging experience in its own right.
