Great RPG and the closest thing to Planescape:Torment you can find True adventure with a captivating story, memorable characters, and an atmospheric soundtrack. The biggest selling point of Torment: ToN, though, is a truly unique, inimitable science fantasy world the devs managed to create for this game. It's interesting to talk to every character, explore every level, and finish every quest because you never know what you'll witness or find out—there are so many interesting ideas in this game it'll make your head spin. The gameplay loop isn't that extraordinary but still pretty good due to the well-made leveling system with useful stats and skills. You'll constantly use them during journeys, dialogues and battles and find lots of different items you can utilize or sell. But keep in mind that as a true spiritual successor to Planescape, this game focuses on dialogues and storytelling rather than on combat and long travel sequences, so be prepared for A LOT of reading. If you're tired of samey RPGs that don't offer anything new to the player and keep feeding you old concepts like orcs, elves, castles, brave knights, or sci-fi robots and spaceships, Tides of Numenera will become that very breath of fresh air you so desperately need.

This is a game I love, that I know many will bounce off of. It is deliberately opaque, it’s like an unreliable narrator rpg, which is a bold choice and might polarize players. Combat is….just avoid combat when you can. But the story, world, and presentation are among the best I’ve ever seen. Some of the writing is odd, but I think that is intentional in order to give characters some personality and quirks. This game is partially inspired by Gene Wolfe’s Book of the New Sun series, if you like those books this might be your favorite game of all time. Test the game, test different choices, replay parts of the game over and over looking for clues (just by replaying the intro with different choices you will learn alot about the world), and enjoy a memorable and unique sci fi world. Obviously this game is also inspired by Planescape torment, and I think it does a great job in that vein which better visuals and gameplay (though still janky sometimes), and writing that is on par. If you like weird deep sci fi and getting immersed in a story that is actively fighting against you fully understanding it then this is a uniquely incredible game. If arcane/esoteric gameplay and design choices then you will probably not like this but I think it’s a hidden gem and deserves plenty of flowers.

Honestly, I prefer it to Planescape. Planescape has a unique edge, is very dreamlike and, to be clear, totally rules. But the world of Numenera speaks to me! I love mysterious tech, interdimensional beings, hive minds, etc, and this game has them in spades. The dialogue options are fascinating and extremely deep, the systems and characters are great, and yeah if you're looking for an introspective, strange RPG in a varied and distinctive world, look no further.

You know how they say that every person has a book in them? For the devs of Torment: Tides of Numenera (TToN) that was Planescape: Torment. TToN is an extremely similar game, to a point that if you played P:T, then you'll know most of the twists and turns of TToN's main plot. Sadly, P:T was a superior game in its themes, and had better written companions, making TToN pale in comparison. That, however, isn't a fair metric. On its own, TToN is still an amazing game, set in a unique world. In fact, the best parts of TToN are all about exploring that bizarre setting. The world of Numenera is set in a far future, combing elements of both fantasy and sci-fi, very much in accordance with the phrase "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic". The game shows it well, as it combines the off-the-wall oddities, with the mundane reality of people living in their shadows. The game uses the Numenera TTRPG ruleset, which uses the same simple rules for both combat and non-combat encounters, making it one of the best systems I've seen for story-heavy RPGs. The game does have some problems. Chiefly, it's designed to be played several times (at least two, if not three), but the scripted nature of the game doesn't suit more than one playthrough. At least a quarter of the game can be missed if you're not playing with a walkthrough or are psychic: Some quests need to be completed in a certain order for the best outcome, resting can cause irreversible (and often bad) changes to the locations if done too early, and you need a very specific set of skills if you want to get the most out of dialogues. That said, the game is still highly recommended for lovers of story-rich cRPGs. 8/10

Dubious recommendation. The imagination and world-building are second-to-none; every character you talk to has an interesting story to tell. It's just a shame that talking to characters is pretty much the only thing there is to do.
