3.5 stars, rounded up to 4
Planescape: Torment is a rarity among computer and video games. Rather than focusing on combat, the game is largely centered on roleplaying. I suspect that many people reading this review have played the Baldur's Gate and/or Knights of the Old Republic... more

Still puts most RPGs to shame
Planescape: Torment is a great RPG, in the truest sense of the genre. You play the Nameless One, a confused but apparently immortal (in the sense of if you die, you don't die for good) wanderer of the planes, whose very flesh tells the tale of his endless... more

A PC game set in the Planescape Universe? Get outta here.
Wow. Those were my first words after playing Planescape: Torment for the PC. I have to tell you I am an avid fan of the Dungeon and Dragons Planescape Universe. I own almost every product made by TSR and was quite shocked to see that they were making... more

TOTALLY AMAZING GAME!!!
Planescape: Torment has to be one of the BEST computer RPG games of all time! It has everything one looks for in such a game; from an incredible setting, to a highly original plot, to excellent multiple roleplaying options, to outstanding graphics, to... more

A good story tormented by disappointing gameplay
I really wanted to like this game, based on all of the praise it has received and the fact that I really don't have the time to play simply mediocre games. After having played the Baldur's Gate series and thoroughly enjoying it, I thought that this would... more

THE EPITOME OF CRPG's!
Words fail to describe the perfect symphony of brilliant ideas, emerging story-line and excellent coding that makes this game an unsurpassable classic!

If you can't find it here, try stock houses and e-bay, but you have to have this one,... more

Amazing game
I have played a lot of RPGs, RTSs, FPSs, and other types of games in my life. I've been playing games since I was 6 (16 years ago), and there has only been one game that has kept my interest enough to make me want to go back to it almost on a yearly... more

This is a good introduction to AD&D
What would happen if there was a place where there existed a portal to anywhere you wanted to go, both real and imaginary? You would find yourself in Sigil, the city of doors, deep in the center of the multi-verse known as Planescape; a place where the... more

Superb yet not perfect game ever (4.5 stars)
The perfect RPG, with emphasis on the RP. Best NPC interaction of all time. Brilliant.

Oh. My. God
The reviews in here speak for this game. Out of 147 reviews of Planescape: Torment, only seven had ratings under five stars. One of those was because they haven't received the game yet, one of them is because they are not aware of the fact that Black... more

might be the best rpg ever
planescape torment should come with a warning -
Play it and get ready to wait for years till another comparable game comes out.

if you don't like it, your brain is riggored with mortis
best game since sliced bread. Better than Ultima 7 or even 5. Great grafix to boot. The character developement is similar to 2nd ed except for wheapon prof and wisdom attribute's big debute for main PC. The game deals with your lost memories and finding... more

Fan-freakin'-tastic
This is the best computer game ever made. I don't think I need to say too much more about it. If you have a computer and use it to play games, you should really get this.

Purely Amazing
What kind of game can you write a paper about for English class, and still get a perfect grade on the paper? This kind.

What kind of game will have you thinking about it and replaying it for years at a time? This kind.

What kind of game will leave... more

Crime and Punishment?
This game is a true triumph of design. The story is the most inventive, unique one I have ever experienced on the computer (let alone in literature.) It is worth playing time and time again. The characters in it are also the best I have seen on the... more

atmospheric, original and addictive
This is PC gaming at its best: it has a huge replay potential, as well as lots of humor, killing, magic and a large number of quests. One can play this as an evil person, or good; a fighter, magic user or thief; physically strong, smart, or a combination... more
