The Generation GapWhat our critics say

Planescape: Torment (1999) defied RPG conventions, prioritizing narrative depth and philosophical inquiry over combat. Its protagonist, the Nameless One, and a cast of memorable companions explored questions of identity, mortality, and redemption in a bizarre, Planescape universe. This game proved that an RPG's true power lay in its storytelling and character development, setting a high bar for narrative ambition in the genre.

Forget power fantasy; *Torment* made you question what it even means to be a hero, or alive. Its legendary dialogue and philosophical quandaries still outclass modern blockbusters trying to be "deep." This game proves that a compelling, character-driven narrative, rich with existential dread and profound choices, doesn't need flashy combat. It’s about the journey of self-discovery, beautifully ugly, and utterly unforgettable.
