Torment: Tides of Numenera
Description
Also Available on GOG.com:
Torment: Tides of Numenera - Immortal Edition
Torment: Tides of Numenera - Legacy Edition
You are born falling from orbit, a new mind in a body once occupied by the Changing God, a being who has cheated death for millennia. If you survive, your journey through the Ninth World will only get stranger… and deadlier.
With a host of strange companions – whose motives and goals may help or harm you – you must escape an ancient, unstoppable creature called the Sorrow and answer the question that defines your existence: What does one life matter?
Torment: Tides of Numenera is the thematic successor to Planescape: Torment, one of the most critically acclaimed and beloved role-playing games of all time. Torment: Tides of Numenera is a single-player, isometric, narrative-driven role-playing game set in Monte Cook’s Numenera universe, and brought to you by the creative team behind Planescape: Torment and the award-winning Wasteland 2.
- A Deep, Thematically Satisfying Story. The philosophical underpinnings of Torment drive the game, both mechanically and narratively. Your words, choices, and actions are your primary weapons.
A World Unlike Any Other. Journey across the Ninth World, a fantastic, original setting, with awe-inspiring visuals, offbeat and unpredictable items to use in and out of battle, and stunning feats of magic. Powered by technology used in the award-winning Pillars of Eternity by Obsidian Entertainment, the Numenera setting by Monte Cook provides endless wonders and impossibly imaginative locations for you to explore.
A Rich, Personal Narrative. Thoughtful and character-driven, the story is epic in feel but deeply personal in substance, with nontraditional characters and companions whose motivations and desires shape their actions throughout the game.
Reactivity, Replayability, and the Tides. Your choices matter, and morality in the Ninth World is not a simple matter of “right” and “wrong”. You will decide the fates of those around you, and characters will react to your decisions and reputation. The result is a deeply replayable experience that arises naturally from your actions throughout the game.
A New Take on Combat. With the Crisis system, combat is more than just bashing your enemies. Plan your way through hand-crafted set-pieces which combine battles with environmental puzzles, social interaction, stealth, and more.

89/100
A slow start gives way to a thought-provoking adventure in a remarkable setting. A fitting follow-up to a beloved RPG.

8.8/10
The turn-based combat may be a little disappointing, but Torment: Tides of Numenera manages to live up to the legacy of Planescape: Torment by offering a fascinatingly weird and well-written tale. Thanks to a wide variety of options in conversations and the influences of its tidal system, it offers decent opportunities for replay value and a memorable tale each time. This is the rare game that leans almost entirely on its setting and writing for its appeal, and the miraculous thing is that it usually succeeds.

Constant text-reading and unusual imagery are delights to speculative-fiction lovers, but others may be confounded

The Last Cast Off: Vessel or Savior?
Story: You are the Last Castoff, or more accurately the latest castoff. You’ve fallen into a world that has been shaped by a man known as the Changing God. That is the name given to him by the residents of the plane that he has helped shaped over the last few millennia. The Changing God never stays in the same body for very long and due to a flaw in the process he uses when he jumps into the newest body he has created a new personality is awakened in the body he leaves behind. Something went wrong when your creator jumped bodies this time leaving you plummeting into the atmosphere of the planet below and only our enhanced body saved you. You wake up to no memories and two people chattering at you about castoffs. The only clue you have about what you need to do is fix the machine you broke when you landed. At least that is what the ghost in your mind told you before you woke up and also there is something called the Sorrow that has infected your mind somehow and really wants to wipe your from existence. Your journey starts in Sagus Cliffs. Will you continue the legacy of the Changing God or will you create your own path? Game play: Normal isometric RPG controls and UI. The Tides system is what sets this game apart a little. Tides affect the way options are presented, so if someone doesn’t like you they may make the bad option sound like the good option for example. The game uses a pool system that can be used to affect various interactions in the game. Want to nudge a conversation a certain way? Use might or intellect to convince a the person your talking too to see things your way. Want to grab something without being seen use the speed pool to grab it. Careful though if you get into a fight you might not have points left to give you the edge you needed. Graphics: Good enough to bring the world to life. Sound: Gets the job done. Verdict: If you like stories where choices matter check this one out.
