An amazing RPG

Let me be clear from the very beginning; this isn't Planescape: Torment 2.0. And neither it should be. Torment: Tides of Numenera... it's mesmerizing. A true role-playing achievment I haven't had for ages. Actually, it feels more like the second Baldur's Gate than anything. Perhaps people came in with different expectations, hence the low rating. I came in with an open mind. And Numenera delivered. It is deliciously written. It isn't Dragon Age-like - doesn't feel linear at all. I feel like being my character. And best of all, it is different in all the right places. Recently tried Witcher 3, an unpleasant experience with an early quest (the arsonist) made me quit it for good. I was forced into two unpleasant choices. And it's not like the narrative forced me into them; it was the mechanics. Same thing, to a lesser extent, with Skyrim's Civil War storyline. Torment: Tides of Numenera has none of it. You have the option to disagree, even if it is inconsequential in the end. Your choices are your own; other characters have their own choices to make. Which makes them feel oh so alive. Do not view this game as a product. View it as art. Because it is art, and it is unique and it has a journey you want to take. Like the RPGs of old did.

A slow burning RPG

Before you pick this up, throw everything you know out the window, aside from controls nothing is familiar. The setting, the stats and mechanics even the concepts of reality are unique. Once you get right into the game though it's fantastic.

Incredible

The visuals, music, everything transports you. I haven't felt like i'm in another world since I played the original Torment or Morrowind. Something about this game feels like it was made in the 90's; it isn't as constrained by the latest definitions of genre, and is better described as an adventure game then a pure RPG like Baldur's Gate. There's something reminiscint of games like Sanitarium and Mist; it's eery, beautiful and strange. I won't take off a point for this, but it's worth noting: This game is about reading. Despite the strong visuals and occasional voice acting, 90% of the information and gameplay is in dialogue menus. The reason that this isn't a negative, is because it's all rather interesting. The companion characters are likable and unique, and I love finding out more of their history, quirks and motivations. I hate to admit, I'm not a great reader; if something fails to catch my interest within a few pages, I put it down. So you know I mean it when I say: This game is interesting, and it will grab you.

Not as good as it could have been

Well. It's not Planescape Torment. Get that straight and you're more likely to give it a generous score and recognise it's 'ok' in its own right. Ultimately my score dropped the more I played it and in the end I was actually quite glad to get it over and done with. Because I kickstarted it, like others, and very much looked forward to a new PST perhaps I'm somewhat harsh but I felt it was a capable effort without really being anything more. I found a couple of minor bugs, a couple of annoyances and finished it far too quickly for my liking as it really should have lasted much longer. I found the combat to be mainly ok, unlike many but did (like quite a few) discover that at the end it was very easy to use your skills to obtain the optimum result and most of my characters and I had a lot of left over xp and gold or shins, as it's known in the game. I wasn't enthralled, the characters were lacking compared to e.g. Minsc, Morte, and others and at times it seemed quite unoriginal. This in part might be because I have for the first time recently played games like "Thief" and "System Shock 2" and both were far better than this which is surprising as SS2 is exactly the kind of game I tend to avoid. The story had promise and then ... ah well. Knowing some of the writers who contributed to it I do wonder what was cut as I do understand a few things were. This despite the length of time they took to develop the game. It's worth getting (when on sale, its far too short for the price currently), but you should definitely get PST as well if you've not played it. The two don't depend on each other at all so you can play them in any order. I'd suggest this one first to save disappointment and then you'll remember the original and go back and play it again.

Below Expectations

The game is far from good, if you believe this gonna be a BG1, BG2 or PST forget it, its more a visual novel than anything else, could only immerse in the protagonist in the end of the game and just a little. Bad companions with build no connection at all with the protagonist, except for Rin. Not worth.
