Torment: Tides of Numenera

Cut content, meh writing, weak setting

Pros: Good looking and a decent soundtrack, achieves the weird aesthetic it wanted. Ton upon ton of lore and backstory Some of the characters are well done (Avellone wrote Erritis) Cons: The lighting is washed out and the areas feel far too small. The ''setting'' is an infinitely random, disjointed sandbox. It doesn't have enough cohesion between the thousands of random ideas they came up with, and so this isn't a proper setting at all. This is my biggest peeve with this game. Most party members are humans who are depressed because they ran afoul of some odd technology. The combat is as basic as Planescape, but far slower and tiresome to slog through because it's turnbased. The main storyline got damaged when they ran out of time/money and cut out a load of content, and probably wasn't interesting to begin with.
