Assets are not reused and each location is unique. Of course, you have to have an appreciation for the isometric view but the varied environments and characters in Torment: Tides of Numenera look equal parts gorgeous and horrifying (in a good way). The game is beautiful to look at thanks in large part to inXile Entertainment’s deal with Obsidian Entertainment that allowed them to build the game using a lot of the tech used to create Pillars of Eternity.
That said, picking up Planescape: Torment off of GOG is money well spent and anyone who still owns an original copy should play the game again, before or after playing Torment: Tides of Numenera. Players certainly don’t need to have played a game that came out in 1999 in order to enjoy Torment: Tides of Numenera. The two games share a lot of DNA but are also very, very different in terms of mechanics and both have their own self-contained story that stands alone. Also Available On: Mac, Linux, Xbox One & Playstation 4.That game asked “What can change the nature of a man?” and that question served as the anchor for the entire game just as the question “What does one life matter?” does in its successor Torment: Tides of Numenera. If the combat in the original had been better I would say that Planescape: Torment was the best CRPG of its time.
TIDES OF NUMENERA CALLISTEGE SERIES
Its writing was as good or better (if you ask me) as anything the more mainstream and lauded Baldur’s Gate series ever put forth. Ever since then fans have been desperate for a new game to fill the void left by one of the greatest CRPG’s of all time while also being skeptical that anything could ever compare to the original. Whereas other games from the glory days of the Infinity Engine and isometric CRPG’s were typically rooted firmly in conventional D&D/LOTR high fantasy or post-apocalyptic sci-fi, Planescape: Torment often used elements more commonly found in the horror genre. It has been almost two decades since the release of Planescape: Torment. inXile Entertainment promised fans of Planescape: Torment a worthy spiritual successor and they have delivered. What does one life matter? That is the question at the heart of Torment: Tides of Numenera. It’s a question seared into the very bones of the game and every quest you embark on, every horror you face, every triumph and every tragedy brings you once step closer to answering it.
