A refreshing game with a lot of bugs
The first thing that comes to my mind when writing this review is the amount of bugs i encountered when playing this game. Torment is a fantastic RPG game with a captivating storyline but the bugs in the game just made i... Read Full Review

A stroke of genius
Perhaps the best way to describe this game is by comparing it to a good book. Although unlike a book, which is a complete product that cannot be changed, you can decide how the story unfolds. Mystery is everywhere in ... Read Full Review

Legendary. How often do you get to play as an immortal, searching for a way to die?
Torment plunges you into the world of the Nameless One, an apt if rather ambiguous label given to the main character of the game. Much like Baldur's Gate and Icewind Dale, it is a role-playing game involving point-and-cl... Read Full Review

A perfect example of a good story, well told.
To me an RPG is all about the story, get this wrong and all you're left with is a mechanism for making your experience number bigger and in turn making other numbers bigger until you reach the end or get bored. There ... Read Full Review

This was a fun game. I was pleasently surprised - I bought this to take up the time before Fallout 3 came out. Due to its age, there are some issues - It is approximately 10 plus years old so the visuals and graphics a... Read Full Review

Classic RPG; great story and interesting characters; nice graphics and music at the time.
Planescape: Torment is one of my favorite RPGs of all time. Planescape is much better than the other D&D games based on its game engine; Icewind Dale series of games are too difficult. The difficulty of Planescape is j... Read Full Review

"Torment's appeal will attract any RPG fan out there..."
Planescape: Torment is a superb Baldur's Gate-esque RPG that is set in a very dark and macabre atmosphere. You play as a living corpse who must travel through this dark world seeking answers to his identity and to find a... Read Full Review

The best, sad there was no sequel :(
Torment is built on the Infinity Engine, which presents the player with a two-dimensional world, in which protagonist characters are controlled from an isometric perspective. Exploration is accomplished by clicking on th... Read Full Review

Think of the best book you've ever read in your life. Planescape: Torment is better than it.
Once you've completed this game, it's very hard to discuss it without endlessly gushing, especially in the writing of a review. That's a symptom of Planescape: Torment infecting you as it first catches you off guard with... Read Full Review
