    Once you get past the dated graphics, slow RPG gameplay, and wonky (but improved) PC-to-console controls, you will find one of the better stories available to you in gaming in each of these titles. A worthy place for fans of the original releases to return, as well as for those paper-and-pencil gaming aficionados.

    Two great games, particularly the first one, now available on new platforms. Control-wise, it doesn’t play as well as on PC, but they’re still enjoyable on consoles.

    Icewind Dale and Planescape: Torment are two games from a previous generation that now get the right to a Nintendo Switch release. While both titles included in this package feature a marvelous plot and many hours of content for a very customizable experience, its visual execution has aged rather poorly and the level of difficulty will put off many newcomers.

    I can really only recommend the Planescape: Torment and Icewind Dale: Enhanced Editions to people who played and enjoyed them in the past. Planescape has a terrible bug that freezes the game when you try to rest in one of the earlier areas of the game, and this is still the least of its problems. It’s possible that the original developers of these games made them for an audience that would be familiar with the mechanics or have the patience to spend hours figuring out the systems at play. 20 years on, these games continue to be filled with brilliant story-telling, but what they really need to tell you is how to actually play.

    It’s a slog. Unlike the refined (and excellent) Disco Elysium, this isometric RPG features repetitive dialogue and clunky controls. TwentyIt’s a slog. Unlike the refined (and excellent) Disco Elysium, this isometric RPG features repetitive dialogue and clunky controls. Twenty years ago, this title might have been revolutionary. But it hasn’t aged well. Combat is confusing and imprecise. Graphics are blurry and unconvincing. D&D RPG quests offer lots of personalisation but zero relevance to any real-world human themes or emotions. You’re just a fake character in a fake world with fake problems. Reading the wikipedia plot synopsis feels like an exercise in “word salad” – but will save you money and lots of time. Some great ideas and lovely sonic textures don’t change the fact that Planescape: Torment is really only for hardcore D&D fans and dedicated retro gamers.… Full Review »
