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.

Great game. If you even remotely like PoE, give Tyranny a try.

Dammit PoE is way too overloaded of an acronym. I thought you were referring to Path of Exile and got confused.

Power over Ethernet
Perl Object Environment
PowerOpen Environment
Product of Experts
Platform for Open Exploration
Post Occupancy Evaluation
Port of entry

I'm sure there are more.

Power of Evil :^)

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.
