The editors liked
Well developed world with rich lore
Interesting characters that each have personality
Combat system has depth beyond merely being turned based
Unique worldbuilding
Lots of story
Fiercely personal story
In the style of Planescape
Torment
A world where everything seems possible
And where quests take advantage of that fact
Numerous pacifist solutions and workarounds to quests
Upwards of 40 hours of gameplay
Sprawling
Well written story
Beautifully painted environments
Forces players to think their way out of situations instead of fighting in most instances
Detailed story
Wonderful visuals
Great RP options
Both for combat and noncombat
Incredibly well written
Amazing detail
In all aspects of the game
Superb writing
Excellent world building and lore
Engaging story

Unique approach to combat...
An engrossing
Character driven story
Nostalgic throwback to isometric RPGs by the pros of the genre
Easy to understand
Creative take on character creation
"Tide" system is a refreshing take on morality in games
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Outdated graphics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
Hollingworth: An amazingly deep and unique roleplaying experience, but marred by roadblock mechanics and repetitive gameplay elements. Wilks: A deep and fascinating world with a compelling narrative and large degree of player agency...
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...

Fantastic cast of characters that have their own issues to deal with, Commendable to see how much freedom the title gives players when it comes to making their own choices and dealing with the outcomes, Detailed text that often makes it seem like players
Minor technical issues that mostly plague AI for NPCs during fights and some unusual issues, such as popup text menus that are not easily dismissed, Extensive terminology makes it seem like a difficult title to get used to at first,

Abstract: There is a bar that caters exclusively to psychics (2/10).There are quests which take place entirely within your own mind (4/10).You'll encounter several characters who exist in multiple dimensions at the same time (7/10).One of the hubareas is a city in...

Abstract: Kickstarter-fuelled nostalgia or not, it takes more than a little self-confidence to name your game after one of the smartest, most beloved, most respected RPGs ever made. That's not a percussion heavy soundtrack you're hearing in Not Planescape Torment...

It's rare that a game allows me to use my failures within itself to build a unique narrative, and that in itself allowed me to approach Torment: Tides of Numenara from a new light. Ironically, the lack of a Game Over led me to be more cautious as I know t...
Excellent Writing That Creates Great Atmosphere, And Tells A Great Story, Gorgeous Art Style, Unique Mix Of Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Well Fleshed Out World And Characters
Poor Performance On Consoles, Lacks A Centralized Codex, Combat Can Get Tedious
The turn-based combat may be a little disappointing, but Torment: Tides of Numenera manages to live up to the legacy of Planescape: Torment by offering a fascinatingly weird and well-written tale. Thanks to a wide variety of options in conversations and t...

El Noveno Mundo, un personaje más de la aventura, Lo que hagamos importa siempre, tanto los errores como los aciertos, El sistema Crisis, influyente tanto dentro como fuera del combate
El combate puede ser un poco anecdótico de más, Gráficamente puede no ser suficiente para todos
A modo de resumen vemos que esta nueva aventura de InXile Entertainment nos ha dejado una aventura con muchísimas horas por delante, que seguramente no vaya a agradar a todo el mundo ya que estamos ante un título mucho más pausado de lo normal donde desta...
