mall fatigue

liked: Unfamiliar setting. Often several ways to solve problems. The Numenera & some of the technology. Merciful download size for a modern game (compared to the likes of Doom, which I still can't afford to download). The ending. Understand why many didn't like it, but I found it to be a good conclusion. disliked: Having to travel through several maps to rest. No great struggle or moral dilemma for most of the game, just errands. The artwork; stodgy design, indistinct lighting. Belabored, odd-looking character animation. Writing often read like the padded parts of a novel you'd normally skim over. No day/night cycle. Unremarkable music & audio. Very basic fx. Combat is slow & awkward. would like to have seen: A more otherworldly feel to it, eg: Wayne Barlowe's Hell, Fantastic Planet, Machinarium, or a Beksinski landscape. Visionary art-direction. Same goes for sound... actually its more important; artwork can be experienced in a totally different way by just changing the soundtrack. Gameplay options change with your dominant tide (better replay value). Less tedious combat & recovery - making inevitable things (like going to town and resting) quickly implied should always be an option. Otherwise the game just wastes real-world time with no payoff. Combat could feel more brutal, unpleasant and sordid. Make the player doubt their decision to fight. Great example is the last battle of Icewind Dale II; wished I could swap sides and fight my way back to raze the ten-towns after that encounter.

Worthy Successor

The original Planescape Torment is my favourite game. I've played through it several times in 5-6 years since I first stumbled across it. Tides of Numenera is a different game in many ways, but the dedication to the narrative is obvious, the setting is interesting, and result is one of the finest games I've every played. Play it, and accept that it is different from the original; it's one of the best ever.

Crushed under the weight of nostalgia

It would be on gog, with purist and nostalgia, that this recieves the worst reviews. I will start, then, that I am a fan of Planescape: Torment, and I love this game. Tides of Numenara. Torment: Tides of Numenara (ToN) is touted as the successor to Planescape. It is. Spiritually. It's a different game set in a different world, but it's the only thing like Planescape (and Planescape is the only thing like Tides). And that makes sense. Interactive fiction made in this style is a monstrously difficult to produce. Planescape was known for having over 5000 pages of dialogue written for the game. Tides of Numenara easily matches it. It's made of stories, and that is the greatest likeness between the two. Despite the narrative similarities. It is the method of narration that truly makes these games special. I have spent hours talking to shop keeps, or logically analysing a lost object that contained a treasure. I have run into characters that I am convinced must be part of MY story, only to find out that they simply exist, and are equally (if not more) interesting than I am. And, if that does not sound like fun to you, please feel free to walk away now. This is my cloud nine. This is what would happen if you could interact with a book. It is intelligent and crude and morbid and gory and gritty and beautiful all at once. Whether you are talking to a pretencious member of the Order of Truth, or a street thug trying to woo a scientist, it is alive with rich storytelling. It is play time for ideas. It is wonderful. I suppose that's another thing both it and Planescape: Torment share. They are both wonderful. I recommend it.

I'm a fan

As a veteran of classic cRPGs, I have enjoyed my time with this game a lot. I'm rating it a 4/5 because the combat is somewhat simplistic, which can be annoying when combat is forced. That being said, the game is not primarily about fighting in my opinion. The writing is very good, the setting is just as interesting as Planescape: Torment was and the story keeps you pushing forwards. On launch I have noticed a few bugs, but nothing that completely destroys the game. If you like reading more than combat in a cRPG, this game is for you.

Loved it

I enjoyed this game very much. Most of the game is written dialogues where the player explores both the Ninth World and their character's inner world and past. I'd say it's more "interactive choose-your-own-adventure book" than what you'd usually expect of a computer game. While there is combat, it's slow and tedious. I do wish there were more battles, but for that to be fun they'd also need to improve the combat system a LOT. I found it annoying that I couldn't save during combat or dialogue. And they MUST do away with the repetitive background noise because it'll drive you nuts. But despite those drawbacks, I had a lot of fun playing this game. If you like exiting stories about mysterious worlds I'd recommend you try Torment.
