In my top 2 of all games I ever played

You find the full review here: https://forums.inxile-entertainment.com/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=17434&p=186504&sid=dbc192de3c8bfc31196f601f41f94534#p186385 tl;dr Tides of Numenera is a success, not a spiritual successor to Planescape: Torment, but something that can stand perfectly on its own. If you enjoy reading good science-fiction novels, you will most likely enjoy Tides of Numenera a lot. Tides of Numenera is set in the Ninth World of Monte Cook, Earth in the distant future that has seen a number of civilizations rise and fall. Much of this history is lost, but the world is full of the remnants that these highly advanced civilizations left behind. You begin your journey in Sagus Cliffs, a coastal hub that lives from exploring these remnants, called Numenera. The circumstances of your arrival are impactful and your initial choices define the character you incorporate. The world is brought to life primarily by visuals that give you a vibrant impression of the science-fiction setting, and copious writing to provide depth and breadth. The story of Tides of Numenera is bold and is the first serious and successful attempt of writing an interactive novel that is on par with accomplished works of science-fiction. It tackles the great questions that slowly dawn on the horizon of humankind. What is consciousness? What is reality? How closely linked are the realm of physics, down to the quantum scale, and the realm of the biological? What is the role of intelligence? Instead of bogging you down in science, ToN gives you a vehicle to explore the questions on a human level. The quests in ToN are easily amongst the best we have seen in video games and appear organically arrived from the setting and the needs of its inhabitants. ToN plays around with the concepts of reality, timelines and consciousness in encounters and interactions, and ultimately allows you to find meaning in your actions. It has a time loop for a new game+ too and plenty of replay value.

Unfairly judged game.

Most reviewers who rate this game below 4 stars, in my opinion, are simply angry because of broken promises the game developers have made. But take this game, put it on tabula rasa and you will see it is a pure gem. It has a very interesting story, great atmosphere and world design. The only flaw is the combat system, but you can avoid combat entirely anyway if you wish, so it's not like you are losing on much. So yeah, this game is really brilliant and everyone should try it. The only thing besides combat I didn't like is that the game developers are very sloppy at supporting the game. They released the game, a couple short updates and that's it. I don't know if they will release more but I think it's very bad they've not released another patch for over a year now... The game is still young and it could see much improvement. For this, I considered rating it 4 stars, but I stopped myself and again, looked at the game for what it is and it is definitely worth 5. I'm not rating the promises, the development abandonment or how this game looks besides Planescape Torment. I'm rating the game for what it is on by itself and it is a masterpiece.

Too much content in too little space

First off, I thoroughly enjoyed this game. I recommend playing it to everyone daring to read, appreciating food for thought, and open to feeling an unknown world. There was a lot to like for me, I found the characters to be varied and interesting, the story engaging, the writing expansive and good, combat "crises" few in number and better to play than fights were in PS:T. Also, the music was very to my taste. Now the flaws that prevent a 5/5: - I think most critique stems from people that engaged in the niggles around development and pledge fulfillment, which lead to resentment, causing scathing reactions to every detail of the game. - My issues with the game however were mainly, and it's somewhat embarrassingly superficial of me to say so, caused by the low quantity of surroundings: everything was packed full of quests and story NPCs and lore and interactive elements, which I found overwhelming and hurting immersion. The environments consequently could not convey a consistent look-and-feel. - Independent of that, there were some nods to PS:T that seemed too much like unnecessary copy/paste (does there have to be Adahn, does the bar really have to contain flames, etc.) - I encountered one bug that caused a crisis turn to never end, but I could easily solve it by loading the latest autosave directly before the situation. - My 5.1 setup did not output directional audio from the correct speakers (i.e. front and back seemed switched at times)

Very, very imitative of PS:T

For when you absolutely, positively need to play the exact same game as PS:T again. Hard to say I was disappointed, since that's what I expected. If you're looking at this, you're probably an Infinity Engine veteran hoping for a fresh take on the classic formula. Friend, I have bad news: this take isn't fresh. The most exciting thing to me during development was hearing about the setting for this game: a world built on the ruins of countless prior incredibly advanced civilizations, filled with ancient technology that may as well be magic. I'm not sure how it's possible to make that premise fall flat, but Tides manages somehow. It feels like an amusement park, with all the weird gadgets and gizmos and telepathic squid just being there for you, the player, to gawk at, rather than an earnest exploration of what kind of society could arise from that situation. That's not the really bad part, though; I'm willing to chalk up my reaction to personal preference. The thing I find infinitely harder to excuse is the writing, which seems terrified of standing on its own. The main plot is almost completely identical to PS:T. In fact, Tides seems like it's dedicated to replicating the PS:T experience almost precisely. Infodumps abound. The writing style has its moments -- Erritis' personal quest is very charming -- but most of the time just feels ponderous and purple. The Big Philosophical Questions feel like abstract thought experiments, and anyway, as the game is very insistent to tell you in case you might doubt or question yourself, there is no right answer and it's all a matter of perspective. I'd call that ethically timid. No doubt I would have loved it all back in 1999, but we're all 17 years older now, and games have moved forward so much -- but Tides is intent on reliving the glorious past instead of taking a chance on innovation (beyond the nice new stat system, which I don't feel is nearly enough). 2/5 for Callistege, who should have been the main character.

Good rpg

Finished it on steam, had a lot of fun. It's not the og torment, but at a discount it's certainly a steal. Must play for story driven rpg enthusiasts. However, there isn't a lot of combat and the general gameplay loop is not the addictive kind of fun, it's more like a slow paced exploration gameplay, so if you are looking for a hack and slash you probably won't like this title. However, remember that this IS what people who funded the game wanted, less combat and a deep, well written video game novel. The setting is great and the story was pretty good and unique. Solid 4/5 at what it tries to be.
