Its ok at best
Not enough combat and now i'm stuck in a loop in the main story where a fight is starting then ending leaving me nothing to do.

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.

Boring and Ugly
The format of this game has not aged well. It was fun back in the day because that was all that we had. Not so much now, and it’s painful once the nostalgia wears off. The remake/sequel is even worse because they borked the combat system and made it turn based.

Its not even an medicore C-RPG
So the plot started quite interesting, when i read about the landscape whilst the fall, i was eager to explore that world and all its miracles... little did my past me know.... What followed was a lifeless and disappointing game, which broke all the possible promises. A world to explore? Nope dude, you are going trough those hose like levels and interact with lifeless NPCs and theirs stupid quests (some of them you cant qutite finish, coz the game is stupid). But your companions sure ll make up for this? pffhahahahahaha NOPE!!! okay a bit, i liked Maktina, Oom and Rhin, they were at least a bit entertaining, but did they much to improve the game? No. The rest ist a bunch of borderline boring wrecks. The developement of your characters is slow and just frustrating. you and your cast off just feel lonely. Half an hour of Baldurs gate and about one dialog of Mass Effect are comparable to the whole game. Furthermore the levels are so linear and you cant go back or explore more or see a changing sourrounding, no you ve been there, thats enough. For all the cheap talk in the game and from the developers, they sell you way more that you get. I mean, its a game from 2017 and backed by a lot of people, but it never reaches an average level to comparable RPGs not even from the past. And one more point: I hated Pillars of eternity. and now i played the Tides and hate it too. Overall for its wasted potential. It couldve been so great, the plot and the ninth world are really interesting, but you wont see s*** from it. The developers took the lazy way of readable stories instead, that you can visit the areas (yeah i know Tabletop Games but this is a Videogame and i m not against reading, but this is just lazy. I know need a RPG to console my harmed litte soul, maybe its time to replay Pathfinder, a real and good RPG imo. I feel sorry for me and the buyers and even the developers who tought they did something good or okay at least, but YOU FAILED!!!!

Read a book instead!
A successor to PLANESCAPE TORMENT? Really? The only two things I found these games have in common are 1) they both have the word torment in their titles and 2) they're more like interactive novels While PLANESCAPE TORMENT (the far superior "Torment" game) is a pure fantasy game, this one mixes fantasy in sci-fi (which I'm not a fan of). TTON ditches the terrible "real time with pause" combat system (which was never good to begin with) and replaces it with an unpolished, equally sucking turn based system. Just like PT the focus is not on combat, so if that's what you're here for, you'll be disappointed. TTON is about reading, reading and more reading. Few lines are actually voiced, so expect to do some serious reading for about 99% of the time. The classes you play as are the equivalent of fighter, rogue and mage (how ingenious!) otherwise expect the same old as in any isometric RPG. In no way does this game live up to PLANESCAPE TORMENT. The setting is replaced by a bland sci-fantasy mix and the game fails to provide PST's captivating macabre atmosphere. Don't waste your time here, read a book instead!
