Sometimes combat feels a bit unbalanced, often with a crazy number of enemies just thrown at you. The voice acting, although present, is about as common as unicorn turd – but the quality of the writing shines through. It’s a deep, deep story and is really quite immersive – but you WILL have to read. Sometimes the game plays and honestly feels like a book, and this is not a bad thing – if you’re a reader. This motivates your initial adventure into the Ninth World and as you start tentatively exploring, Tides of Numenera becomes more about discovering the world and its inhabitants, with side quests intertwining and actually becoming part of the integral story arc.Ĭhoices in the game MATTER and thankfully, there are multiple ways of approaching scenarios and any decisions you make do impact your game’s story. A killer called Sorrow is after you, and you’re faced with having to escape this seemingly-inevitable fate. You and the Castoffs (the old bodies) are being hunted. But every now and again there’s something that just feels a bit sloppy. Some unique environments and nicely designed characters are all here – but there are times when some elements just feel a bit…rushed? Don’t get me wrong, when the graphics are good, they are SUPERB. Want to play the game with no violence at all? You can literally complete the game without laying a hand on a single enemy – but really, where’s the fun in that? The game is designed in such a way that it’ll pull together a vast array of plotlines to sync into your personal playthrough. Magic is still alive and well, but now is in the form of a form of science. The game’s set in the Ninth World, a futuristic setting that’s almost unrecognizable to the Earth we know now. You start the game by taking almost like a personality test, and it’s this that rolls your character. Think of a God-like entity who likes to change his look every ten years or so, building new bodies and discarding the old like unwanted trash. As you fire up the game, you’re playing as the Last Castoff. I’ll start this review by saying that I don’t want to go too deeply into the game’s story, as I don’t want to ruin the experience for fans of the series. But did the developer deliver? inXile have, thankfully, managed to keep hold of the feel of the original game and rekindle my love affair with the vivid and deep worlds they create. When Torment: Tides of Numenera went live on Kickstarter, it smashed its goal and went into countless stretch goals, leaving fans eagerly awaiting its release.
