One of the best RPGs ever made. Arguably even the best game ever made in general. I don't think there is another game that has such a profound story and in-depth world building. This is like Disco Elysium, but 20 times its size. A true epic.

Foreword: In 1999 I did not play Planescape Torment. I was introduced to the game by an insistent friend who kept praising it around the year 2010, after playing it a few years ago, I understood. Planescape Torment is not your average game. The Enhanced Edition gave me the chance to experience this game again. Aesthetics: The story is the game's strongest element. I will try to limit spoilers. You are an immortal being called The Nameless One, your immortality has a major drawback however, you forget everything after you are killed. The game's goal is to uncover your past. You wake up in a Mortuary where you meet Murray... I mean Morte! A floating skull with a bite. The companions are amazing! From said talking skull to a living suit of armor in search of justice, a verbally abusive Scottish tiefling (romanceable), a burning man, a Gith, and a Lawful Neutral Succubus Cleric that believes in no God (romanceable). Most of your adventures will take place in Sigil, with a short trip to Baator and Carceri. Sigil is beautiful and its districts are unique. Every ward has its theme, from the classic slums to the imposing government district. My favorite location has to be the Brothel of Slacking Intellectual Lusts. You meet a ghost of an ex-lover, a hag, a hive mind of rats, a pillar of skulls, a fallen Deva, and other unique characters. The game uses a modified version of the Infinity Engine. The engine makes these alien locations look good. Don't expect something fancy, but like all IE games, the engine does its job well. The sound is stellar. The music by Mark Morgan is amazing (Fall-from-Grace's theme, The Good Ending Theme, or the Credits Theme for example), and the voice acting is amazing. Overall the aesthetics are perfect. The narrative and story blend with the visuals and sound to bring a well-balanced and beautiful aesthetic. Functionality: Planescape Torment uses the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons system. Combat is not its main focus however but when it happens the spells are gorgeous. Every companion is unique, with their own style and abilities. You can change your character's class from the initial fighter class to mage or thief, but be careful to check the multi-class rules, for example as a fighter, you get more hp if you level than you get by leveling as a mage (you can level fighter first then multi-class into a mage for example). The game can be difficult if you do not know the AD&D system. Combat is not often but when it is it can be hard. BEWARE! You can be very evil, but be careful about attacking people in Sigil, The Lady of Pain won't like it! I did not encounter game-breaking bugs, crashes, or major spelling mistakes. Enjoyment: I greatly enjoyed Planescape, I went in expecting something similar to the Baldur's Gate series and was left speechless. In spite of it being text-heavy, I was never bored. The story and unique characters kept me wanting more. The game's ending was a cathartic moment for me. Probably the best ending to a video game I experienced to this date. In BG2TOB you ended up challenging Godhood. In Planescape Torment you challenge and accept a part of yourself. Conclusion: Planescape Torment Enhanced Edition is worth every penny. The game's story outclasses most games even today. This game deserves all its awards and I dare say it is worth giving a shot even if you are not a fan of CRPGs. It was part of a lot of bundles and goes on sale regularly. It is well worth your money and your time. Other Notes: None at the moment.

Believe the hype. I decided to play this game thanks to Noah Caldwell-Gervais' video essay. After several false starts over the years, I finally managed to finish the game. I would usually stop after a crash and get distracted by another release. After making through the opening sections of the narrative, I was hooked. The depth of the dialogue system in this games has great depth and every choice felt like one that I owned. As I played, my growing understanding of the world of Planescape: Torment helped me make decisions with outcomes I expected, in contrast to my stumbling interrogations as a novice early on. My biggest advice for playing this game is to advise you that there will be a lot of reading. I am not an avid reader, but I do enjoy reading a good story. I can be, however, sometimes impatient. There was a point in the game where I had been playing late and rushed a bit of the story. I decided to replay that section of the game, not because I was lost, but because I felt like I missed out on a lot of the enjoyment by rushing. Going back with more energy, I was happy to replay the section and experience 2 hours of contents that I had missed or otherwise rushed through. As a narrative work, Planescape: Torment leaves little to be desired. Amnesia is a good launchpad for the player experience here, as the twists and turns of rediscovering yourself in the planes never leads to the expected, as it would in a story more realistically set. What I found especially pleasing is that, while the story unfolds in way that is simultaneously exciting and sensible. Exciting to me, the player, but sensible in the world of Planescape, where societies function within and are, in fact, built upon strange, but well-established rules and phenomena. In summary, if you like narrative, dialogue-drive games with memorable characters, I think you'll enjoy this game. If you coming from Baldur's Gate 3 to experience the Infinity Engine games for the first time, this is the narrative jewel, and you will find this entry to be the closest to BG3 in depth and consequence of player choices.
