Planescape: Torment: Enhanced Edition

Ah, good old Planescape Torment, a true classic of CRPGs returns with some much-welcomed extra polish. The story and dialog are still as unique and riveting as they've ever been, but now the game also has a few extra improvement that make the game even more enjoyable. Or if you just want to play the game exactly the way it's always been, you have that option as well. But anyway, speaking about the improvements, we're talking about a new zoom system, sprite outlines, increased framerate, better area transitions, highlighting of useable items on the map, new UI, stability improvements on newer systems... the list goes on. And for those saying "these changes could be achieved by just using mods", I'd love to try whatever it is that they're smoking. Because we've been there, we've played this game with mods for almost two decades now and no mod did all the things the remaster has to offer. Especially not without conflicting with one another and starting a nightmare of uninstalls. So if you want to play one of the greatest RPGs of all time, then this is definitely the way to go. Have fun... but beware the Lady of Pain.

I would just give 10 points out of 5 maximum. Planescape Torment is the best game ever created in my opinion. The enhanced edition doesn't change anything at this perfect setup, wounderful story and awesome possibilities just makes it easier to play it without the need of mods, etc.

I will admit, when I first saw this replaced the original PS:T in the store, I was agitated. The price went up and it seemed to be just the original game with mods attached. When I relaxed and found out everything that was done for the game, I went ahead and purchased it. First, you can easily go into the game and start playing without having to worry about anything, as it's fully patched up for modern machines. Second, it's still the original story with nothing changed or added..which if you know the story you *know* it needs nothing. Third, it's now on every platform that I want it on. I picked it up on Google Play, and it is a family library game, so it is now on every Android device we own. I even setup an auto sync with GDrive between my tablet, phone, and laptop so I can just keep playing the same game. It runs super smooth on Windows 8.1, as well as the Pixel. A bit choppy at times on Tab S2. Haven't had a chance to test Linux yet, or Mac OS. I haven't heard much of the audio yet, but the little I have heard sounds great. The game plays best on here of course(PC), as to be expected. Black Isle is credited, and the game is still the same amazing one. This game is such a gem, I really hate to see it get low reviews simply because of the company that did the remastering. Let's just rate the game for what it is, as it is the only version available now.

Great game. Used to play, haven't been able to on modern machines. This version allows me too. And it looks better than ever!

Not much needs to be said. Planescape: Torment is considered by many to be the best game of all time, and tat praise is rightfully earned. While its gameplay lacks in comparison to other cRPGs like Baldur's Gate, its writing is unmatched by any other game. You'll remember these characters forever. As for the Enhanced Edition, it's simply superior to the original version. Yes, you can fix the original's resolution and bugs with mods, but the EE has all that, many more options, an excellent UI, looks way sharper and is a lot more stable. There is simply no good reason to play the original version anymore when the EE does everything better. All in all, if you've ever cared about games, or hell, storytelling in general, you owe it to yourself to play Planescape: Torment. And you might as well save yourself the headache of dealing with outdated software and play it through this excellently done Enhanced Edition.
