8. Tyranny

Tyranny Gameplay
Paradox Interactive

As the name implies, Paradox’s 2016 RPG Tyranny puts you in the stylish yet affordable boots of a lawmaker in a world ravaged by war and under the rule of an evil tyrant. An evil tyrant that you work for. As such you have an awful lot of power and a tonne of tricky decisions to make to maintain it.

The game focuses heavily on these choices but they are significantly more nuanced than the binaries you’d have come to expect from other choice-driven games. Tyranny thrives in the shades of grey between kinda evil and super evil and lets you run with it.
