Planescape: Torment is an example of a game that those who've heard of it will find it unbelievable that there are other so-called 'gamers' out there who haven't heard of it. It's a much-loved relic of the cRPG golden age of the late 90s, and boasts one of the greatest video game storylines of all time - following the tortuous tribulations of a plane-shifting, ever-resurrecting being called the Nameless One. Tides of Numenera is the spiritual successor to Torment, and takes place in the same surreal fantasy world. The game was funded through a Kickstarter campaign by Brian Fargo's (Fallout 2, Wasteland 2) inXile Entertainment, and raised over $4 million, making it one of the highest-funded Kickstarters of all time. Tides will use a similar isometric perspective to its predecessor, with gorgeous pre-rendered backgrounds combining with 3D character models. The game looks set to recreate the excellent writing and strong focus on player choice in approaching encounters - rarely forcing you into combat unless you seek it out, and having NPCs throughout the game respond to you differently depending on your past actions.
