Intriguing, entirely nonobvious world, with a masterful writing and choices that have an impact on the environment. A lot of reading involved, as in the original and as expected. Don't wine if that's not your cup of tea.… Expand

I enjoy reading all the stories, asking twice for each line to know some more!
   But its better to play on your native language- i usually enjoy and fully understand games on english, but this game i enjoy only in my native language (russian) - since you read a lot here and dont want to stop if new word met.
   Great game, totally different from others, so its a big room of fresh air!… Expand

This is the best way to do it. I really like in RPGs like Dragon Age or Fallout or Skyrim when you get to take a break from combat action and contemplate tough choices that affect the world. Torment is JUST THOSE PARTS, and its really well done. If you like those parts too and you enjoy reading, this is a great time so far, I'm taking a long time with it because I'm reading way more than I have to because its a cool story. There can be some fighting if thats the story you want, but its not really the draw, no big explosive cutscenes, but very fun and artistic and deep world to play around in and explore and take a vacation in.
   
   Edit: Nevermind, they ran out of money and rushed the ending of the game. Its the beginning of a really cool game though, shame, what a waste… Expand

It is literally 1% combat, and 99% walking and reading never-ending lines of text. Take what you will from that sentence. If that's your thing, then knock yourself out. I just prefer something that doesn't put me to sleep.… Expand

   This game can be simply summed up as not enough action, and too much dialogue.

   For me I don't mind some dialogue, as I've played games like Pillars of Eternity (although I think that game has a bit too much dialogue sometimes), but this game completely has way too much dialogue. It's interesting as the game was built/used pillars of eternity engine/design, and that's clear, but Pillars of Eternity actually you know had combat, sadly which this game completely lacks. I don't recommend this game unless you really just want to read texts and maybe it's a good story, but most players won't see the story as they'll probably quit the game in the first few hours, like I did.… Expand

   I thought I finally found a CRPG I liked, until i got to the first city and had to go through literally two hours of exposition and side questI thought I finally found a CRPG I liked, until i got to the first city and had to go through literally two hours of exposition and side quest gathering. I even tend to like talky games, but every goddamn townsperson had to give me their whole damn life story before sending me on a generic fetch quest. That's partly on me for being a completionist, but better games tend to dole this stuff out at a more measured pace. Not to mention that all objectives are pretty vague and very little direction is given, such that you feel compelled to talk to everyone simply in an attempt to grasp some narrative throughline.
   
   In the end it fell into a common CRPG trap: it forgot there was a game to play here.… Expand
