21. Planescape: Torment: Enhanced Edition

Planescape: Torment: Enhanced Edition gameplay

Assume the role of The Nameless One, as you explore this world much akin to a Tim Burton wet dream. You wake as a corpse in a mortuary, your mind a blank slate. (How original, I know.) Follow the clues and recover who you are… and what you have done.

If you feel the need to stay in the Dungeons and Dragons universe but tire of Baldur and his ol’ gate, Torment will let you do just that. You’ll find comfort in how it plays like BG, but holds more in conversation and clues than mindless combat. You can progress for hours without getting into a scrap. The story sucks you into its dark gothic world, and you will get lost there. What you do and how you react are the basis for story progression, along with some pretty existential questions flung your way. They took the original and just shined it up, and when you have such an interesting story, that’s all you really need.


Not much to look at, but neither is “Times New Roman”, and Game of Thrones is printed in that.
