This game has many hidden gems. The separate faction mechanics, units that you can train througout the game, multiplayer, titans and dragons and everything you need to have fun. It's not the best strategy game around but if you're a casual like me, you won't find a game that's much more enjoying than this.
I know it's selected one of the top 10 games of history in many articles etc. but I've seen none that clearly puts the causes. Well for one, the best game ever, in terms of user pleasure could only be made at those years. The graphics technologies are at a steep rise, but the industry hadn't become so harsh that devs were threatened with sales or catching the holiday releases. Torment is a game that's written and designed by professional gamers alongside many beers and nights of chatter. It's made of that kind of fun and emotion. There's no point, except a few bugs that one can just play casually, without feeling something. One of very few games that every gamer must play.
