Negative reviews have simply no taste in what's good for them! :3 This game is a absolute masterpiece, i am grateful that i was alive to play it, it is a incredible experience and very well writen <3

Sad it took me so long to get to this one, If you make a game that has so many characters with extra layers of descriptions and dialog (whether they are alien, not from this dimension or simply undead) the game slowly stops to feel like a game and starts being a visual novel. There is nothing "ordinary" about this narrative. I dont think boring humans exist anymore, or if they do their numbers are really low, everything you see is either an alien entity, a cosmic entity or some sort of a robot with its own special back story. (I did enjoy the Bloom quite a bit) and everything has to be special or twisted in some way. Now lets talk about Tides - or special "castoff powers."If you play as a magic user you will use nanites and cyphers (magical devices) to cast powerful wizard like spells, but Tides (the force that only castoff's can use) is a force that ONLY gives you special dialog options, which yes they are relevant to the story, but otherwise do NOTHING ELSE in the game. Oh you get...

Where have I seen these obnoxious fonts, piss poor design and colour schemes before? Hmmmmm... Ah, yes, Wasteland 3 by InXile Entertanment. I really enjoyed Planescape: Torment that I played a lot back in 2000 as a good, neutral, bad and truly horrible character, but this game... It doesn't appeal to me... It's like a soulless construct... I've only played 32 minutes and I didn't enjoy any part of it. The voice over in the beginning, muffled flat mumbling voice that I almost couldn't hear no matter how much I increased the volume... Followed by something so forgettable and unimpressive that I can't even remember what it was. There was some kind of combat that made no sense to me, but somehow I won. Then I was in room with characters, but I can't get myself to read the text, I tried, but it just felt so pointless and uninspired, because the design, fonts and colours looks so soulless, bland and boring... Everything is so tiny and ackward... Planescape: Torment had character an...

Tides of Numenera is primarily of interest to freaks like me who enjoy experiencing everything the cRPG genre has to offer. In this respect, it is on the good end of the scale, but nothing exceptional. The ways it tries to emulate Planescape Torment are annoying and cause the game to handicap its potential in ways that are heartbreaking to witness. Two examples out of many I can point out are Aadiriis and Sagus Cliffs. These are respectively mirrors to Ravel and Sigil. And while Sagus manages to come off quite well in this comparison, Aadiriis does not. She is a far less charismatic and engaging character. It might seem unfair to compare Torment to Torment. But in addition to taking on the name itself, the game also constantly calls attention to it, from similarities in plot to constant irritating references found throughout. Bronze spheres and Adahn namedrops are found throughout the game. In fact, I bet the game would be much more enjoyable to someone who hasn't played Planescape...

First few hours and I stayed up way past my bedtime absorbing everything. This is definitely "it" if you are looking for the successor to Planescape Torment. Instantly engrossed in the story.

It is hard. Yet aesthetically nothing else looks like Torment. It is kinda steampunk, high-fantasy and well really it's own thing.

The setting is perfect. Played it till the end a couple of times. Story written really one of the best games I've ever played. the rest is okay. Pure for the superb story and the world around it they must make a sequal

I have been enjoying this. It's a game that makes you think and put in effort. I'm having to look up dozens of words every time I play. And every encounter is filled with introspective, psychological or philosophical themes.

Great worldbuilding, unique setting, engrossing story. Also an interesting way to look at Cypher System implementation in a video game
