There's quite a lot to criticise about this game - from the broken promises and unfinished state to some problems with mechanics and pacing. But the world it builds, the story it tells, the characters it unfolds before us, the marvels and wonders, the decisions, revelations and heartbreaks - for me personally, they shine through all of this questionable stuff and elevate Torment: Tides of Numenera to a level where a game becomes an experience I live and savour. If you want your games to be technically slick and like tactical fighting in your RPGs, you should probably stay away. If you want to immerse yourself in a world that will live in your imagination for months, by all means dive in!
