World of Numenera is the protagonist
I do understand the disappointment of some of the other users, that the new Torment is not like its predecessor, but that does not make it bad game. First point to understand about this cRPG is that is less RPG and more of adventure game and it is standing on different design pillars than PS:T Numenera is using a Cypher rpg system - system which is focused on simplification and attention to fluid player experience - no complex formulas, no complicated rules. I have played p&p version several times and I can confirm it really works well. The computer implementation in this case is well done and faithful to its original, but that can be the reason way it can feel too simple and dull. Especially in comparison with AD&D rules used in PS:T offering dozens of abilities and spells. So from this point of view, yes the game can feel simplified. But the main attraction of PS:T wasn't the RPG, but the story, environment and writing. In this comparison both games are getting closer to each other. There a lot of elements which are ripoff from original PS:T, but are elegantly transfered to new environment. Although the story of the main protagonist is not so interesting and novel as of it predecessor, the game has still lot to offer. I would even dare to say that the story and side quests are just kind of a filler leading your way trough the main attraction of this piece - the world of Numenera. Trough the p&p original I have come to love world of Numenera and I really like its premise. There is a lot of side information spilled when talking even to most mundane characters and the world itself is explained trough extensive dialogs and clever writing, creating plastic description of its inner regularities and breathing life to it. So although its focus is different than of the PS:T and could be perceived as a disappointment of direct continuation of its ancestor, it is still a rewarding experience, but it would require a change in your expectations.
