How does it stack to the other torment?

Loved the 90s Torment. Still my favorite game. This... I love it less. There is always danger in comparing something new to nostalgia, always some nit to pick. Frankly, though, the designers begged for it by calling this the 'spiritual sucessor' and naming it toment. So here goes: Story: Yes, Tides is a story driven game. The world, the pacing, the descriptions, all top notch. Plus, the way they marry sci-fi and magic is quite fancy. The environments, hard to talk them up without spoiling the story, so I wont. suffice to say they are intricate and always decorated with interactable flavor of the world, much like PST. As for the characters, they feel true. They feel like full fledged people. The last cast off isn't as compelling a character as the nameless one, but the supporting cast is quite good. Just like PST, It's esentailly a book shaped like a game. A kind of moral choose your own adventure. Sadly, It won't ask you to re-evaluate your values and perception of reality the way PST did. Thats asking a lot, I know, but it is the 'spiritual sucessor.' Expect an excellent but not terribly challenging Sci-Fi story. Combat: Like PST, you can get through the whole game never slamming anyone with that uber hammer you paid a bazillion of the game currency for. This is fantastic. You can be a true pascifist and still feel satisfied at the end. On the other hand, if you do choose to fight, the combat feels weak. The tactical decision making is obvious... always. Tankers tank, healers heal and dps go dps. If there is a thing to use in the environment, use the thing. The move/action system they landed on leaves little room for player originality. The combat feels dumbed down, even compared to PST fighters, and that's saying something. Other: Graphics, AI, and sound... Its not hard to beat a 90's game. They do resoundingly. Final thoughts: Worth your money, but don't expect the same level of wow you got in PST or any type of combat challenge.

Y'all are nuts

I'm going to throw in my opinion b/c dear lord that's a lot of bad reviews. When gamers get it in their heads that something absolutely must be a certain way, god help anyone who dares to try something new. I'm not sure what got everyone's proverbial panties in a bunch, but I really enjoyed the game. It has plenty of flaws... but so did Planescape. There is no such thing as the perfect game if you look close enough, and for something that was made by a small indie studio, Tides plays very smoothly. This is not a tactical combat game. This is barely an RPG. It's a game where you run around talking to people and learning about them, solving puzzles, making choices about what you feel is right and wrong, occasionally getting into fights over those choices. If that's not your idea of fun gameplay, then no you won't like it (why would you be surprised.) If that is what you want, then why are you crying about the combat? I guarantee that half of the people who gave this one star are the same people calling the ambitious but broken Arcanum a masterpiece, which failed in as many ways as Tides succeeded. And the combat is fine, it serves its purpose and there are some good moments with it that serve the story. Which is what it's all about, the story, the world, the characters. The writing can be occasionally pretentious but for the most part I was engaged and had a lot of fun. Don't listen to the haters, go with the flow of what the game is trying to do instead of bringing your own expectations of what it's supposed to be, and don't bring expectations for a AAA title to a game made by an indie studio. If you're a blue tide dominant person you'll enjoy the game.

Underdeveloped greatness

The setting of Numenera is genuinely intriguing. It’s a world reminiscent of fantasy ideas, yet full of cyberpunk or sci-fi elements, with artifacts, magic and a lot of odd phenomena having some kind of scientific explanation. This world just oozes interesting stories and characters and it feels like you can learn something exciting just around the corner. Yet, in this game the places are interesting to look at and they seem to live their own interesting ways until you interact with them and suddenly feel as if the place is fake, just decorations that will disappear as you exit the scene. Characters pop in and out, mostly with no real impact or consequence. Game does have lots of great mechanics and ideas to tell cool stories in interesting ways, to not boil things down to just fighting or just talking. But there’s always a feeling of the “right way” and a “wrong way” to play the game, instead of different valid possibilities. And the “wrong way” will be less fun and less full on the story. A pretty good, if less impactful than it wants to be, story that is worth checking out. Though even there, apart from few exceptions, the game gets less and less full on interesting ideas as it goes, with most care put in the opening act and later story bits just kind of happening one by one. Oh and there’s also a fact that some of the things that Kickstarter backers were promised never made it into the game… I liked the game. I liked what it tried to do. I liked the music by Mark Morgan. I liked some of the character lines that felt truly fresh and unique. I liked the setting and hope to see more games set in it. But it’s not a title I would really want to revisit.

Broken & Abandoned.

The game I had hopes for since I enjoyed Planescape Torment but this game just takes the name Torment and does nothing even halfway as interesting. From my time with the game I could not even get past the first actual fight in the game due to the gaming having a game breaking bug where the text would get stuck and not continue no matter how long I waited or pushed the 'Show More' button. If devs are so incompetent as to fail at making a game that is 90% reading then maybe they should re-think their careers. Also don't hope for an update since they are probably all ready making another kickstarter to make another game. Don't waste your time with this game, just go play Planescape: Torment it is a way better game.

An amazing RPG

Let me be clear from the very beginning; this isn't Planescape: Torment 2.0. And neither it should be. Torment: Tides of Numenera... it's mesmerizing. A true role-playing achievment I haven't had for ages. Actually, it feels more like the second Baldur's Gate than anything. Perhaps people came in with different expectations, hence the low rating. I came in with an open mind. And Numenera delivered. It is deliciously written. It isn't Dragon Age-like - doesn't feel linear at all. I feel like being my character. And best of all, it is different in all the right places. Recently tried Witcher 3, an unpleasant experience with an early quest (the arsonist) made me quit it for good. I was forced into two unpleasant choices. And it's not like the narrative forced me into them; it was the mechanics. Same thing, to a lesser extent, with Skyrim's Civil War storyline. Torment: Tides of Numenera has none of it. You have the option to disagree, even if it is inconsequential in the end. Your choices are your own; other characters have their own choices to make. Which makes them feel oh so alive. Do not view this game as a product. View it as art. Because it is art, and it is unique and it has a journey you want to take. Like the RPGs of old did.
