Worthy Successor; Poor Pacing

It's been some time since I played the original Torment, and unlike others that wax poetic about the game, I enjoyed it but didn't find it particularly memorable. Ultimately, I think my one line summary of Tides would be the same. The game is very flexible compared to a standard CRPG, and can be played almost like an adventure game (i.e. with very little combat). I took the this approach to the game (maximum roleplaying, minimum combat). Prior to the end-game I believe I had two "crises" where combat was required due to my choices. Even during the end game, I believe there were options during the crisis to prematurely end some (perhaps most) of the combat. The final endgame decision was simply a choice (one choice appears to be a choose-combat option). What I found (with my play style) was that the amount of reading was quite large, even more than would be required for an interactive fiction game. This meant that the running around the various maps (boring) followed by reading large chunks of text resulted in a very slowly paced game. The material was interesting enough that it was worth pursing until the end, but by the end game, I was definitely ready for the game to actually END. Overall recommended for fans of the original, but I wouldn't place this title high on my list of isometric RPGs.

Zachwyt światem

Niesamowity i intrygujący świat przedstawiony w grze to coś, co nie pozwala oderwać się od rozgrywki. Niezwykle unikalna przygoda na wiele godzin. Gra nie bez wad, ale te kilka potknięć można jej wybaczyć, zwłaszcza jeśli jest się fanem klimatów sci-fi. Polecam fanom rpg, w których szukamy sposobów by nie walczyć i wszelkie konflikty rozegrać pokojowo - całą opowieść da się w ten sposób ukończyć.

Worthy successor to Planescape: Torment

If you loved Planescape: Torment, then I think you will also like Tides of Numenera very much. I'll start with the shortcomings which prevented a 5-star rating. The combat is atrocious!! If you're looking for a turn-based RPG with great combat, this is NOT your game. I find myself building characters who rely on non-combat skills such as charisma, deception, diplomacy, etc. just so I can avoid the combat. The audio could be better. Needs more spoken dialog. Also the ambient audio was mediocre. It wasn't bad, but it was more appropriate for a game from the early 2000's, not 2017. Now the good. In a nutshell, your decisions during character build combined with the phenomenal amount of branching dialogs with consequences give the game staggering replay value. Your Tidal Affinity (which is determined by your dialog choices and actions) has a dramatic effect on your character's legacy (i.e. what you achieved and are remembered for). I've played through using Blue, Gold, Indigo and Red affinities, and my characters' legacies were significantly different each time and my legacy was exactly what I would expect of that type of person in the real world. Excellent story. The themes covered in the story are timeless and part of the human experience. This is one of the traits that made Planescape: Torment so special, and Tides of Numenera follows this tradition. Many interesting and unique companions, NPC's, factions, and locations. Just mixing up your companions during replays produces distinctly different game experiences. Yes, I know this mechanic has been around for years, but not all games execute it well. Tides of Numenera is excellent in this area. Conversations and decisions made in one area of the game sometimes impact other areas of the game including what dialog options you have and how NPC's and companions react to you. A must-have game if you enjoy a thoughtful, complex, but combat-lite RPG with massive replay value.

Great Numenera game (bad successor?)

As someone who hasn't played PST but is familiar with Numenera, I thought this was a great portrayal of that setting and system. It looks great, the locations are creative and the mechanics are interesting if flawed. Mechanically, the best thing about this game is the Might, Speed and Intellect pools, which can be spent to boost your odds in various combat and non-combat actions. I love this system for 3 reasons: 1) It gives the player agency outside of combat 2) It bridges combat and non-combat and gives both consequences that affect the other, unlike most RPGs where mechanically combat feels like the real game and everything else feels like a shallow, tacked-on 2nd game 3) It creates tension by making you gamble a precious resource Unfortunately, combat itself is messy mostly due to a dodgy positioning system. It's not gamebreaking though, just annoying. Now, the elephant in the room: I've heard the plot copies a lot from PST. Having not played PST, I thought the plot was interesting and felt natural. But if you have, maybe skip this game. But for anyone interested in Numenera, or just interesting non-combat gameplay, I highly recommend this game.

Disappointed

I was really disappointed, nice art but I don't like the rest of the game. I loved Pillars and Wasteland 2 but I don't like this Torment game, everything seems like grinding and not like playing a game. I don't care about stretch goals, although I'm a kickstarter.
