The editors didn't like
Story feels short with an ending that screams ran out of money
Very few areas to explore leading to scene fatigue as you retread the same territory repeatedly
Character models and some backgrounds have poor quality textures
Heavy-handed writing
Outdated graphics
Boring gameplay
Too many ideas
Not enough time to explore all of them
Companions given short shrift compared to old Infinity Engine games
Lacks replayability
More interaction options for a wider number of NPCs could improve game immersion

And yet I'm awarding Tides of Numenera top marks. Why? Because for all its failings, I can't think of a single RPG in the last decade that so consistently surprised and delighted me. Even the non-quests, the smallest characters and the briefest interactio...

A solid game that definitely has an audience. Might lack replay value, could be too short or there are some hard-to-ignore faults, but the experience is fun. How we score: The Destructoid Reviews Guide...

Abstract: With only a few introductory lines, my pupils practically dilate. Torment: Tides of Numenera, the thematic successor to 1999's Planescape: Torment, is a dungeon-punk role-playing game with old school cRPG blood pumping through its veins. It lives and dies...
Torment: Tides of Numenera is a technically flawed game on PS4, but I loved my time with it in spite of those issues, and would still highly recommend it. As a cRPG it's not for everyone, especially on a console where the genre is extremely rare, but thos...

Abstract: Confession: I'm a pimple-popper.I've been popping pustules since puberty. I can't resist. The twinge of pain, the little “pop” I can hear as the swelled pocket of pus bursts. Watching the white fluid squirt from the wound as I watch my work in the mirror...
Abstract: It's been far too long since I've played a Role-Playing Game. Don't get me wrong, I play RPGs all the time, but they all seem to forget what that even means these days. And without getting into a salty “when I was young” rant, allow me to suggest that the...
