Manages to hit the feel

Torment: Tides of Numenera sets out to become the successor of Planescape: Torment. And it achieves the feel, at least the early stages of the game. Wish the massive amounts of dialog were fully voiced though.

Good writing, bad game

It is an interesting piece with curious stories and good writing, but also with game breaking bugs. I am sad about it, this game could be a great experience, but in this state (which probably remains forever) I cannot recommend, doesn't worth the time investment.

A worthy successor to Planescape:Torment

(Full disclosure: Kickstarter backer) I aboslutely loved the original PS:T, and consider this a worthy successor. As good as the original? Well, no. But I consider that the greatest CRPG ever made, so nothing else compares that well either. Nonetheless, this game has faithfully recreated a similarly mysterious world in which you can spend hours unravelling its mysteries. It's fantastic fun to dig around numerous NPCs and interactables for little bits of knowledge or small rewards. If you liked Planescape:Torment, or NeverWinter Nights 2's Mask of the Betrayer, then you'll definitely enjoy this. As far as downsides go, the game definitely isn't perfect. First off, the combat is not terribly enjoyable. PS:T's was bad too, but this is worse. On the upside, your choices can avoid almost all of them. The companions also don't hold up as well as the original -- several of them are not nearly as quirky, interesting, or interactive. Lastly, there's a _LOT_ of reading. Even compared to PS:T. Plenty of the language is used is...overly complicated. Esoteric words, etc. Not necessarily a downside, but I can't recall another game that made me consult a dictionary as often -- and that's from an avid CRPG fan and book reader. There's also plenty of Kickstarter drama surrounding this game, but don't let that concern you. TToN was funded at the height of Kickstarter's popularity, yet before developers got good with managing promises and rewards. Combined with poor communication on their part, and it resulted in some upset backers. But the game stands on its own, and is still worth playing. I would hands down recommend this to any fan of the original PS:T or NWN2: MotB. If you like CRPGs, and don't mind a word-heavy low-combat game, then you'll probably enjoy this as well.

Not a good experience

This game does not live up to the hype. If you seriously consider the time it took to develop and the budget they had you have to ask yourself. Where exactly this money go? The game is *very* short and underdeveloped and also very buggy. Wth did they actually do all this time? It will probably fade go where it belongs. Fade into obscurity like it's predecessor. Don't spend money on this.

Ultimately a Failed Attempt

As a story, this ranges from great to mediocre, but, as a game, it is ultimately a failed effort and should not be compared to the true game that is Planescape: Torment.
