Planescape: Torment EE is a unique experience that subverted all my expectations. Look beyond the dated graphics, clunky mechanics, and seemingly endless walls of unvoiced text, and you will find one of the most unique and fulfilling narrative experiences in gaming, even if you are not a fan of the cRPG genre. The Pros: [*] Plot Driven, Dialogue Powered - Without any spoilers, expect 90% of your gameplay to be reading. Yes, this is more a choose your own adventure book than a game. But it is so good! Almost everything you see, everyone you meet, and everything you do serves a purpose. The side quest in this game are not a distraction from your main objective or simple filler content, but an opportunity to deepen your knowledge of the lore of this strange world you find yourself in. Speaking of plot, this is such a refreshing take on a good adventure story. There is no big bad evil bringing about the end of the world that you alone can stop. This is a story about you as an individual. Your goal is not to save the world, but to reclaim your memory and understand your place in it. Some combat exists (explained below) but it's an afterthought. The real focus is on the story, and what a good story it is! [*] Believable, Rich Characters - Characters are really well-written, companions especially so, but even minor side characters have unique personalities and interesting dialogue. I also like that if someone has a speech impediment, or an accent, these mannerisms are reflected through text, and it's so fun to give them a voice in my head in the absence of in-game voice-lines. Some characters may be uni-dimensional, but never shallow. They have their convictions and will gladly share them, even just to prove a point. Some lie, and hide their true intentions, but every one has a story to tell, and you should listen closely. [*] What Can Change The Nature Of A Man? - This is the recurring motif of the game, a seemingly meaningless question, but it brings about this game's strongest asset: philosophy . It embraces the DnD morality system. The way you behave changes your alignment, giving probably the best lore-accurate explanation for the suspension of disbelief you get in RPGs when your character suddenly shifts personalities. You awake as an amnesiac with a clean slate, and you decide if you help others, be righteous, or be selfish, deceive, or break promises. The dialogue lets you answer the same thing but with a meta-tag of truth or lie to show your true intent. Why do you choose to act the way that you do? Has the stories' progression perhaps, changed your nature? Or you were always like this and just pretending for others? Perhaps you make an exception because you dislike the other party, or is simply more pragmatic to do so? How do you feel about the status quo, the powers that be, the purpose of life, or lack thereof? On this journey you will have plenty of opportunities to ponder on such questions. [*] Updated My Journal - A phrase you will often hear, the quest system in this game is entirely contained within your journal. When you receive relevant information, your character writes it down. There are no quest markers, no exclamation signs over NPCs, all the questing you do comes naturally through dialogue. If you want to recall something, open your journal and use the built-in text search to find what you remember you once were told. It is a really oversimplified, but very immersive experience. The Cons: [*] Horrible Combat - This is real-time with pause, some minimalist AI, we need not go in detail, virtually everyone agrees it's bad. Go in the settings, put that combat slider aaaaallll the way down and trivialize it. Combat is not even slightly relevant to enjoying this game, and also completely optional. There are about three forced combat encounters in the whole game, the rest can either be ignored or avoided through dialogue. [*] Classes Are Not Equal - There are three classes you can choose and switch in between at your leisure. Fighters are basic but have access to better weapons, thieves can stealth and steal, mages can cast spells, but with the very limited casts per rest. To me, the game heavily implies you should be a mage because a lot of the really overpowered items are only obtainable or usable as one. Don't worry too much about it, here's my one advice: Your companions can do the fighting for you; this is a dialogue game and you are the face of the party, so having high Wisdom, Intelligence, and Charisma is the way to go if you want to experience this game to its full potential. [*] Enhanced But Not Remastered - This port is mainly concerned with supporting higher resolutions and making sure it runs on modern hardware. It fixes some major bugs, has some quality of life added, but not much. Even graphically, you are capped at 50fps, which isn't that bad when you realize you're mostly going to sit there reading. There still are some crashes by the way, but only ever had them when I rested or traveled. The game autosaves right before, so you won't miss any progress, just a mild annoyance every few hours. Conclusion If I look at the whole package, this is far from being one of the best games I've played, but it for sure is one of the most memorable, and I am very glad I went for a completely blind playthrough. In this review, I'm purposefully vague because specifics might ruin it; please DO NOT do any research on it if you plan to play it yourself. I was skeptical at first, I went in with managed expectations (this is a 1999 game after all) and came out with the main regret being that it's going to be a while before I'll play another game that will stir my imagination in quite the same way.

crank the combat slider down to 0 and sit back and read the greatest novel in a video game ever. Just when the fantasy CRPG genre was getting old they made a game that turned it upside down and onto its head. How do you solve the boring gameplay of Baldur's Gate 1? Get rid of it! Talk to walls and make them give birth! Play with a robot cube and enter a space maze! Watch as a town gets sent straight to hell because of the beliefs of its inhabitants.

A tragic but beautiful story of a man regaining his memories by experiencing their consequences. A fascinating and strange setting you will not find anywhere else, and remarkably compelling characters and writing. Combat is kinda whack tho

Why should you play a 1999 isometric RPG in 2025, while you could be playing Baldur's Gate 3, Witcher 3, Last of Us or just chill with CS:GO? Is the narrative of this game so good that it justifies accepting the absolute disaster of a combat system, pretty, but still low-detailed graphics, and probably thousands of words to read? Yes, it does. I was skeptical about the game, and I did not like it at first. I do not like D&D, but I do not have anything against it. The setting seemed completely outlandish and alien to me, and it did not resonate with me at the beginning of the game. I did not like the graphics, especially the brown and grey color palette and low-poly models. I found the combat system to be chaotic and simplistic, boiling down to kitting the enemies or pinning them down and finishing them from afar. At least some spell effects where pretty and creative. Furthermore, the writing is heavy and overwhelming - there are so many concepts, characters, ideas and viewpoints to consider and internalize. In other words, in the first 5h I was truly considering abandoning the game. So, why do I recommend this game? Because Planescape: Torment deals with the heavy philosophical topics that I have not seen tackled in any other game (maybe beside Disco Elysium). The questions presented through the text of the game are though-provoking, to say at least. The narrative uses the game factions to present opposing worldviews and philosophies and then presses the player into taking an active stance about his own worldview and values. This is further amplified through the ability to "mold" the protagonist, the Nameless One, to the player's liking. We do not learn about philosophy through infodumps, but through practical actions in the game. Well, in fact, there are several infodumps in the game, the lore is just massive. Still, if you were not into reading, you would not have been reading a random Steam review from the beginning to the end, am I right? The protagonist’s companions are truly the best of the best - a strange bunch that I will remember for a long time. I strongly recommend that you engage with them to the full extent. Their stories are just top-notch writing. After the initial slog of a prologue, the narrative gains momentum. There were several moments when I said "Oh, f***" before the computer screen. Gaining knowledge about what my past incarnation did to my companions was heartbreaking. First Ignus, then Dakkon and then Morte at the end. Deionarra’s sacrifice was also heavy-hitting. The endless love to a man that has used her in a most cynical way imaginable, was just way too much. And, on top of that, she knew about all of that, and decided to love the Nameless One nevertheless! What was the point of the ending? How should I feel about myself after seeing what I have done? What is the meaning of the absolute torment my character has unleashed through his actions? I certainly did not win... I must say that after a playthrough I might return to the game one day, but I will certainly not jump into a second playthrough now. I need to first calm down. What can change the nature of the man? Well, I certainly know that this game can do that.
