Description

Torment: Tides of Numenera is the thematic successor to Planescape: Torment, one of the most critically acclaimed and beloved role-playing games of all time. Torment: Tides of Numenera is a single-player, isometric, narrative-driven role-playing game set in Monte Cook’s Numenera universe, and brought to you by the creative team behind Planescape: Torment and the award-winning Wasteland 2.

Main Features

• A Deep, Thematically Satisfying Story. The philosophical underpinnings of Torment drive the game, both mechanically and narratively. Your words, choices, and actions are your primary weapons.
• A World Unlike Any Other. Journey across the Ninth World, a fantastic, original setting, with awe-inspiring visuals, offbeat and unpredictable items to use in and out of battle, and stunning feats of magic. Powered by technology used in the award-winning Pillars of Eternity by Obsidian Entertainment, the Numenera setting by Monte Cook provides endless wonders and impossibly imaginative locations for you to explore.
• A Rich, Personal Narrative. Thoughtful and character-driven, the story is epic in feel but deeply personal in substance, with nontraditional characters and companions whose motivations and desires shape their actions throughout the game.
• Reactivity, Replayability, and the Tides. Your choices matter, and morality in the Ninth World is not a simple matter of “right” and “wrong”. You will decide the fates of those around you, and characters will react to your decisions and reputation. The result is a deeply replayable experience that arises naturally from your actions throughout the game.
• A New Take on Combat. With the Crisis system, combat is more than just bashing your enemies. Plan your way through hand-crafted set-pieces which combine battles with environmental puzzles, social interaction, stealth, and more.

System Requirements

• OS: Mac OSX 10.8 or higher (64 bit)
• Processor: Intel i5 series or equivalent
• Memory: 4 GB RAM
• Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GT 700M series or equivalent
• Storage: 15 GB available space

What’s New

Version 1.1.0

• New Companion: Oom. Oom is a new stretch goal character who you will discover on your journey through the Ninth World. Oom features its own companion quest, "Servant of the Tides", its own unique abilities for use in combat and exploration, and interactions with various characters throughout the game.
• Added the Voluminous Codex. This new stretch goal feature unlocks lore and character entries as you explore the game world.
• Added a new user interface element to the Inventory Screen which makes it easier to view companion attitudes toward the Last Castoff.
• Added a new user interface element to the Common Panel which better messages the Last Castoff's current Legacy.
• Players can now advance to Tier 5 and Tier 6, allowing players to spend their Experience Points more in the later game. This also allows the Last Castoff to gain abilities from other character types.
• Various balance improvements to Crisis gameplay throughout the game.
• Various balance improvements to exploration gameplay, especially in the later stages of the game.
• Added zoom in/out key binding to the Options Menu. This allows players without mouse wheels to remap the zoom functions.
• Cypher Sickness initialization is now delayed until after Equipment initialization. This should prevent issues where loading a save file where equipment was preventing a cypher explosion would cause input to freeze up (fix may not be retroactive).
• Remove all non-gameplay Fettles from companions when they're removed from the party. This should prevent certain freezes from occurring.
• Numerous small UI fixes.
• Numerous small quest fixes.

Great, but familiar for Planescape Torment veterans

I used to love playing "Planescape: Torment" when it came out, and I have very much enjoyed it’s re-release. But if you have played that, then this will seem very familiar. I won’t say that the themes repeat those in "Planescape: Torment"… but they do rhyme, to misappropriate Samuel Clemens. There is less emphasis on hard combat compared to "Planescape: Torment", and the game makers have done a good job of making the quests seem a bit less like a grocery checklist. It’s a really fun game!

Brilliant, weird AF RPG

I originally got this game when it released on PS4 three years ago, and it was a beautiful, otherworldly role-playing experience. The writing effectively conveys an extremely immersive, bizzare and alien, yet still relatable, in-game universe. There's quite a bit of reading involved, but that's no problem for me. I recently got my MacBook Pro 16" to help me through nursing school, so if I wasn't okay with endless pages of reading, I wouldn't be pursuing this career path.. Still, this game may not be for everyone. Anyhow, I loved this game a few years ago on console, despite all the slowdown and random crashes. With my reasonably well-specced Mac(A2141), it runs buttery smooth. Load times in between areas that took around 20-30 seconds are reduced to 5-10. I've yet to experience any random crashes, which were definitely present on Playstation, so I've got my fingers crossed. So far, though, I'm getting a high-end experience of one my favorite titles in recent memory on a high-end machine. If you've got a well specced Mac and like RPGs, especially if you haven't already played this on another platform, absolutely pick it up. 5/5. 😊
Btw, as I see at least one other reviewer mentioning as I type this, I also played Planescape: Torment back in the 2000's, and this is absolutely a worthy spiritual successor. It's no replacement for Planescape, by any means, but it deserves, every bit, to carry the "Torment" brand forward into the modern era.

Rating for game locking, not game play

I am frustrated by the game going into an endless loop in the lost anchorage removing the cortex quest. Thus the 2 star rating. I can keep playing the game.

This should be at least a 4 star game for most of the reasons mentioned by others. It is beautiful and the writiing is excellent. I love the way the party can often stop a crisis by talking or negotiating rather than just hack and slash. It is tricky to get into as there first parts of the game can be confusing. As another reviewer mentioned, there are on line resources that are worth checking to ease the start up frustrations. The NPCs are unique, weird and interesting personalities.. The creativity in this game is stunning. The mystery of who you are really adds an overall larger quest feeling to the game. Actually, I feel it is well worth playing, if it only wouldn’t lock...
