Torment: Tides of Numenera

A+ Game strongly recommend

Fascinante es la palabra que mejor define a a este juego, al menos en las 10 horas que llevo. El cómo consigue meterte en su mundo a través de sus mil diálogos, con unas descripciones que la mitad de las veces ni vas a entender (en sentido figurado, me refiero) pero que contribuyen sobremanera a crear un entorno misterioso y embriagador, del cual no quieres salir... lo dicho, absolutamente fascinante. Y, joder, por poco menos de 8 euros que me costó en rebajas es casi un crimen no tenerlo si te gusta el género.

This is a Gloriously beautiful game! The mechanics are very cool, unique items and a very cool and interesting story line and potential NPCs. All in all i completely agree this is a spiritual successor to the original.

if you want to read a B-list YA book that you have to click through, this "game" is for you

Awful. Absolutely awful. Touted as a sprawling epic about existential philosophy and fantastical roleplaying story, it's actually just a mediocre flop created by bored amateurs to earn rent. Where there should be complex questions and insightful analysis, there's only rambling sophistry and bloviation. It's like sitting through a poetry reading... of poetry written by middle schoolers. The writing is excruciating. Straining to sound oh-so-deep and mysterious, it only accomplishes painful cliches and obnoxious narration telling you what you're supposed to feel and how you're supposed to respond. This is a video game that goes out of its way to avoid showing you anything. It's a visual medium. Don't waste my time with five pages of childish purple prose to tell me that I'm starting the character creation tutorial. Don't spray adjectives from a fire hose failing to describe amnesia and unconsciousness - that's what a black screen is for. If you want to establish a setting, you need to actually have characters explain or describe relevant things, not just clutter the dialogue with a paragraph of fluff about smarmy facial expressions in between literally three word sentences of conversation. This is a novel on rails and you're an audience, not a roleplayer. Your character is controlled by the narrator, and you are not an active agent. It's the most profound blasphemy against the entire concept of game design that is possible. The graphics would be acceptable for the time period given the engine, except that the art director is apparently fresh out of school, thinks christmas tree lights are awe-inspiring and that putting orange and purple close together is all you need to know about graphic design. The environments match the writing: straining to seem mysterious and fantastical but only coming off as clumsy and incomplete. The mechanics of the game system itself are deliberately obfuscated with meaningless terminology that has been specifically selected to avoid conveying what the actual mechanic does. And even once you adapt to the arbitrary misdirection of the glossary, you then collide at full speed with the unavoidable realization that the character mechanics are breathtakingly shallow. And you are on rails. I can sum up the general failure of this shovelware in a simple way: you don't even get to customize your character's appearance. Don't buy it. But do keep in mind the names of the designers and publishers associated with it - so you can avoid whatever else they've contaminated in the future. And as a warning to any other development studios who consider prolonging their employment in the industry.

I absolutely loved this game, it easily became one of my favourites of all time. Plus, I’ve bought it from the Geeks Doing Good fundraiser, so it was a great experience for a great cause. + The writing is exceptional, thought provoking and sometimes deeply touching. + The fact that I could choose my approach in every mission and it truly changed the outcome and my experience was simply incredible. I wish every game had this mechanic and it’d be done this well. + The characters are complex, I cared about them, and they changed the way I thought about the story and each quest. + Nothing in the game was obviously good or bad but it didn’t make me feel gross about myself and it didn’t make me say anything I didn’t mean to say. + There were some surprising plot twists in some quests. But I really cared about all the quests because they were never just “Go and kill”. + If I ever failed or didn’t have enough information for the solution, it was always my fault, not the game’s fault. Literally the only minus to me were the graphics, the style looks way older than I’d expect for the year 2016. But the entire game was seriously amazing.

Amazing game, very fun and has great replay value. Such a good game, left wanting more so it feels a little short but it has so much you can miss that multiple playthroughs make it absolutely worth the price!
