Since the combat is tactical turn-based, I preferred persuading and deceiving others to think my way instead of engaging in battle. One of the best features of Torment is the ability to talk your way out of nearly every encounter. The second character I tried out was a Clever Jack, one whose skills heavily relied upon talking her way out of anything instead of combat. As a result, my starting skills were the ability to scan thoughts of everyone around me and the art of persuasion. I built one character as a Nano (mystic) with the Charming Attribute. Everything else is decided upon whether the class of the Last Castoff (warrior, a mystic, or a jack-of-all-trades) and main attribute.
You don’t pick how your character looks at all beyond gender. For starters, character creation is the strangest I’ve ever come across with an RPG. Torment has so many others, it compounds the feeling of being overwhelmed as well as bringing in a fresh new take upon making decisions and combat. The Tides are only one atypical feature of this cRPG. How people view you in the Ninth World will open or close opportunities for other sidequests or perhaps discovering routes to complete the main storyline. The Tides will change incrementally or significantly depending upon your choices. If your Dominant Tide is Silver, then it’s fame and worldwide adoration you seek. For example, if your Dominant Tide is Blue, then the world will perceive you as someone who simply wants knowledge and will study everything possible. With each choice, the Dominant Tides of the character will change, leading to different reputations. Every choice you make in the dialogue boxes, whichever sidequests you take on, and how you decide to move forward with a party or without, all completely affect how your game could possibly go. The biggest rage in RPGs is including choices that matter, and Torment is no different. In fact, it’s quite a lovely invitation to openly explore the Ninth World, talk to everyone, pick up all the sidequests, and touch everything in sight. But like the Last Castoff literally dropping out of the sky, this too shall pass. It’s perfectly normal to feel overwhelmed and want to scream obscenities at the sky. This Castoff is also plagued by something called the Sorrow that is out to destroy the Changing God and everything he creates, including Castoffs.īoth the player and the player character (Last Castoff) have no idea where they are, what they’re doing, or why anything is happening. This one has some memories of what the people of the Ninth World call the Changing God. The player character is one of these Castoffs, but of course, this Castoff is different. These people are lovingly called Castoffs, and everyone knows who they are because of a giant tattoo on their heads. The cast off body develops a brand new consciousness, new soul, new mind, and has no memories of anything about this body jumper.
They weren’t born in the traditional sense, but born after another being left their host body for yet another body. Torment takes this to a whole new level by starting with a character who was just born. Practically every RPG starts with a nobody who is suddenly thrust into the thick of things and becomes the great hero or heroine. However, something in the inner workings of the game did not translate over very well, rendering the game a bit of a jerky mess with long load times and moments when it breaks entirely. On the surface, the mechanics are sound and the controls are a great bridge between the vastly different platforms.

In the case of Torment: Tides of Numenera, I’m afraid this PS4 configuration should have been left in the oven for a bit longer.

If it’s rushed, it’s often plagued with disaster, such as the PC version of Batman: Arkham Knight or the console version of Book of Unwritten Tales 2. Usually, the game is built with either the PC or console platform in mind, and then they port the game to the other with major reconfigurations for the control scheme. The porting process often takes a few months, if not a year to complete.
It’s not often this happens simultaneously.
