Planescape: Torment: Enhanced Edition

Please remake this game

If, like me, you are in love with philosophy and have been through an existential crisis, this game is for you. The captivating plot, complex story-telling, ethical questions, reminiscences and multiple endings all offer the best RPG (and life) experience you can hope from an apparently old game. I had such a blast! Unequalled.

A true classic with some really nice quality of life features!

Probably the best game that you'll never finish. What can change the nature of a man?

Planescape: Torment is an absolute classic. Better men than I have written many long reviews about just how amazing this game is, but it's hard to talk about without spoilers. This is a game where the conversations truly matter. Your words and choices can change everything. If Icewind Dale was Baldur's Gate focused on combat and customization, Planescape is the opposite. Combat can mostly be avoided or ran from, and you barely get to choose your main character's class.

Planescape is life-changing in the way a great novel can be. The characters are unique and memorable. (You'll never look at a skull the same way again) There are some hard choices ahead, too. Planescape really forces you to pick between the convenient and the long-term, but, with a master storyteller's brush, it then gives you a playground of options and fun, too.

Planescape gets a perfect 5 out of 5 for being everything I play games to see. It explores magical and amazing places at my own speed, puts me in control of the action, and leaves with me wanting more. That's not to say it's without problems. The combat that it has is often tedious or dull, and one dungeon is poorly programmed both in the game and in real life.

Great story and atmosphere during the whole game. A real joy to play.

Possibly. Very dialogue heavy. Combat lacking. If this appeals to you this game is great. Good storyline.
Reminded me of the movie Angel Heart

A classic. Still one of the best RPGs ever made.

It's really good.

Good story so far. Sometimes it crashes when loading a location, but it doesn't matter. The visuals are really eye candy.

Disco Elysium is the best game you've ever played except maybe planescape: torment

You will never stop talking about planescape: torment or disco elysium
I will never stop talking about planescape: torment or disco elysium

Best Game All time ofc 10/10
The gold standard.

SCORE: 7/10 - GOOD
I recommend Planescape: Torment only to literate folks with an appreciation for excellent script writing. Indeed, through copious text this game delivers a rich, thought-provoking story set in the exotic city of Sigil starring a variety of unique characters. Unfortunately, the tactical kombat was ridiculously easy on Normal (3) difficulty, which in the end made me feel like I had just experienced the conclusion to a good fantasy/mystery novel, rather than feel like I had persevered through a gaming challenge.

"Masterpiece" not more to say

The character development, dialog, descriptive text, and story remain the best I've encountered over 40 years of playing RPGs.

In knowing the teachings of Zerthimon, I recommend this game.

It's fun. 2nd Ed rules, but you get used to that. Lot's of cool lore.

I've never played book this good. Made me tear up even. If you like story driven games with combat on second plan i cannot recommend it highly enough. Art looks great even in high resolutions. Music is excelent. The only thing that bothered me was how bare bones and empty the last part of the game was. Still i realized it only durning my third playthrough. I dont even play crpgs but this one caught me by my soul. 10/10

My button click of a thumbs up also demands words in this box?
the game is dated.
the combat system is bad and a lot of things feel useless or overpowered so there is no real balance.
BUT this story and the philosophies behind it if you're in the right mood are almost unmatched. The story that drives the game is truly inspirational.
This game plays more like a visual novel that allows you to pick your own adventure than a traditional CRPG

Planescape: Torment - After all these years - still hits in the feels. It hits like a sledgehammer in the methods of how it has inspired my writing. Inspired my imagination and sparked an interest within the concept of Planes. It has stuck with me for the last 24+ Years on nearly every level and, upon finishing it again, I can't help but remember what games used to be able to deliver.

It is an old game. It is an aged game and, yes, some of the mechanics don't translate well into the future. It is, however, an amazing game. One of those games that you should play every year if possible just to experience, and remember, what stories used to be.

What can change the nature of a man? Playing through PlaneScape Torment.

I've never played another videogame, regardless of how "good" its story is, that had me reading through threads of people just discussing the philosophy behind the story and ending. This game is sincerely fantastic and the experience it provides cannot be replicated by another other "good story" game available in the market right now.

If you like fantasy novels and CRPGs than you will love this.

Good game, have fun!

This might be the only game where main character that is possibly uglier than the new Fable game. That said, amazing game from the past!

Fun grind.

"What can change the nature of a man?"

... Playing Planescape Torment? It might help, at least, reveal that nature:

"I believe there is a truth to the multiverse... even if that truth is that there is no truth at all. I believe that the Planes are meant to be experienced, and the more one experiences, in traveling, in joy, in pain, in merriment or in suffering, the more the multiverse reveals itself to you... And the more you are revealed to yourself."

游戏如其名，折磨。这个游戏真的不好玩，他只会让你沉迷并且无法自拔。

If you enjoy story, you are missing out if you don't play this.

Although the combat isn't the greatest, this game is one of the best ever written. it explores incredibly deep themes in a coherent manner and there's a lot of really cool things. It's well worth your time.

Old, but worthy. If you're a reader.

One of the best, perhaps THE BEST adventure games ever.

One of my favorite games. The Enhanced Edition is ok.

peak RTwP CRPG
i wish these characters existed in BG1+2 EE. i need a BG party with Morte, Ignus, Vhailor, TNO, Nordom and FFGrace so bad

Still one of the greatest games ever made

BRA

One of the best games ever made, if not the best. It's story and themes are leagues above any other game made before or after.

"In knowing your name, your true name, you know that you have gained back perhaps the most important part of yourself. In knowing your name, you know yourself, and you know, now, there is very little you cannot do."
Perhaps one of the best written games of all time.

I must have played this game hundreds of times and always loved it ,a classic of its time, i recommend it if you like playing 26 year old rpgs and see passed the crappy combat which i actually didn't really mind all that much. i like it.

Out of all the games I've ever played, if I had the chance to forget any one of them, just for the purpose of replaying and reliving the experience, I would choose this one.

The best review that I could give is this: this game does not waste your time, and you'll be glad you pumped your brakes, put it in turtle mode, and scoured through the text that lays in such verbosity within this world.

You will see that the game developers poured their heart into every conversation, should you decide to buy it

It's a classic Isometric RPG a - la Baldur's Gate I and II, Icewind Dale, or Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magic Obscura--- but this story is much more captivating in that it keeps you on the edge of your chair saying, "Who is the Nameless One, and where the hell am I?"

What an adventure....i just finished my playthrough as a mage and i have to say: this is one of the best written games ever.

wow what a great game, an oldie but a goodie, this was my first time playing it and its a solid game

Would I recommend it? hell yes

One of the best narrative RPGs out there. Get it if you like plenty of reading and dialogue and minimal amount of combat.

Easily one of the best games of all time. It didn't age wonderfully, but when it was released it was phenomenal and the storytelling is excellent.

Probably can be called a godfather of modern crpgs, with super fasinating setting and plot. Sadly by today's standard the gameplay is a bit dated - combat is a bit clunky and teadious, and sometimes it feels more like reading a book by the amount of exposition you are given. Nevertheless, it's worth to experience at least part of it.

this game fucking slaps

An elderly man was sitting alone on a dark path, right? He wasn't certain of which direction to go, and he'd forgotten both where he was traveling to and who he was. He'd sat down for a moment to rest his weary legs, and suddenly looked up to see an elderly woman before him. She grinned toothlessly and with a cackle, spoke: 'Now your third wish. What will it be?'

'Third wish?' The man was baffled. 'How can it be a third wish if I haven't had a first and second wish?'

'You've had two wishes already,' the hag said, 'but your second wish was for me to return everything to the way it was before you had made your first wish. That's why you remember nothing; because everything is the way it was before you made any wishes.' She cackled at the poor berk. 'So it is that you have one wish left.'

'All right,' said the man, 'I don't believe this, but there's no harm in wishing. I wish to know who I am.'

'Funny,' said the old woman as she granted his wish and disappeared forever. 'That was your first wish.'

Planescape: Torment: Enhanced Edition was an exceptional experience then and still is an exceptional experience even by today's standards. With there being plenty of strategical setups and strategical setups and interchangeable character classes (for the Nameless One), players have a multitude of tools at their disposal to understand and overcome all challenges, from puzzles to combat situations, appropriately and satisfyingly. What consumers will be most interested to know about the product is its in-depth storytelling through dialogue and object descriptions, which tend to be expansive yet enamoring due to how the plot revolves around a scarred, amnesiac that slowly recovers his memory of self and the world around him. To say the least, this video game is refreshing in that it allows one to get a comprehensive understanding of the lore and game mechanics comfortably to the point where they can confidently face any trial within it with little to no error per se.

Not a big fan of the setting but despite that this is such a rich story that I have to keep playing.
The game is very easy to follow along and most of the battles aren't very hard either. Enemies are generally your level or lower unless you are simply attacking everything and everyone.

I highly recommend playing this with the mods for higher resolution video and textures.

The game is a classic for a reason.

The Good, Bad, and things that I'd like to have seen.

The Good:
Graphics amazing for the time it was made, and still hold up strong.
Its quick, and just as fun as I recall it was from the 90's.
The Story is top notch, and very deep when all the elements come together.
Playing as a fighter is easy, playing as a wizard slower, but rewarding.
Romance options that don't feel like they are forced.
friendships where you care about the twists that happen to your allies.
Everyone has a torment, and its super good.
Coin/loot excellent, same for lore too.
It's
The Bad:
Resting... Sucks now. You used to at least be able to rest, now not so much.
Unless your at an Inn, or someone lets you rest. This is bad for spell recovery.
Sometimes the game puts to many enemies at once.
Having to back track, or redo the same tree of conversation to get a new path forward.... a little tiring.
Some bugs still in the game that can make you have to reload a save. Nothing major but meh.

I would have liked them to leave the resting system alone.
A new game plus would have been fun, and for what it is 20 bucks is a bit much.
You can however; get it on sale, and its worth it 9.8/ 10.
Retro none Woke goodness, from a time when games were fun.
