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

Best game I've ever played after P: T
In my preferences writing and the in which developers give away the game world to player is of highest importance. RPGs being my favourite genre, mostly because of childhood experiences of wonder and engagement in 2000's, this game recalled all of that and gave me much food for thoughts and perspectives that I wouldn't consider if I wouldn't have played it. I can't recommend this game enough, I would give 1000 of other modern games to get something comparable to this one and Planescape: Torment

Torment lives yet again!
I do feel the need to add a disclaimer; I didn't even finish the game - I'm still at the very beginning to boot, but I just quit ( out of necessity, life runs on in the background, I'm afraid ), and felt the strong urge to write my first GOG review. It's amazing. The very first hub area I came across is simply bursting with interesting characters, great stories ( that are just there to fit the setting, it's simply good world-building ), and that amazing Torment feeling of simply walking through an alien, stunning world at your own pace, feeling the awe, and the subtle fear and unease, and the wonder further still walking around and carving your own path - a path that promises to be mind-blowing whichever way you go. There's a wonderful, albeit slow "hum" and "swoosh" at the start of each conversation as the camera centers and a conversation panel clicks into view. Every time I hear this I get exited - this is going to be memorable, no filler here, every person you see, every decision you make, makes all the difference. It's great. Get it. Play it. Let's show the guys counting the money that these are the kinds of games a RPG hungry audience wants.
