Yep. The game is an emotional roller-coaster, but only in the sense that the hopes and dreams you had for this game after the first hour gets dragged through the mud then spun out a helicopter. I'm glad they tried, but the game unraveled like a high school band where the drummer loses the beat thirty seconds in.
In what way do you feel it unraveled? Personally I think it only got better with time, my main disappointment was in the lack of content and a clearly rushed ending. Choices in this game were varied and consequential, the quests could have been more open ended but ultimately I thought that they did a pretty solid job with the content that was in the game.
Unraveled in the sense that the game sets itself up as (1) what if evil won, and
you are the agent of 'evil'? (2) complex political intrigue across factions, and neither of those things actually happen to any meaningful degree. It's like the game tells you you're going to be Sherlock Holmes in Game of Thrones and then you just walk around smashing a bunch of factions into pulp the same way you would as a do-goodie adventurer from a tavern. I struggle to remember actual quests or key choices where you feel, "wow, I couldn't have had this without Tyranny's unique setup", after the prologue.
You also never really find out anything interesting. I don't mind that the game doesn't reveal the secrets of Kyros, I think that's fine. But consider how, e.g. you spend the whole game building up a smart, clever, enigmatic, manipulative, secretive JUDGE character, and if you go the independent path in particular, you just pick like two nonsensical dickwaving conversation options and he just goes "Oh yeah let me bend over and open my asshole to you". Not like you really learn much from him anyway. There's just nothing - you're just opening empty barrels, story-wise, the entire time.
Don't get me fucking started on the most lazily written deus ex machina bullshit character that they literally named
Bleden Mark. It's like some 8 year old's fanfic wet dream:
oohoohoo I am super powerful and can destroy you with my super Naruto blast! Also, I know everything about everyone and operate in the shadows!!! Lololol
