setting and writing are a+++ combat is mediocre but bearable mechanics are kind of crap. graphics are what you'd expect (engine rudimentary, some nice art). dense in ideas like good dying earth is meant to be. some things from the first five hours: (1) The first thing yo usee walking into the city is a method of execution whereby all of the wrongs and evil someone has done are extracted from their psyche over several days into a living creature which then kills the person and dissipates. A cannibal cult that gets knowledge from eating people then devours the corpse to give details of the wrongdoing (2) Of my companions so far, one is a woman who accidentally put herself in contact with thousands of different copies of her in the multiverse, some who made the same mistake she did, some of whom are plotting to kill the others for accidentally putting them in contact (3) Another is an idiot like the Tick who has three voices in his head driving him to do random acts of 'heroism' to keep from any time of self-reflection. He has some kind of nanotech aura around him protecting him from his own stupidity. (4) The first city uses a militia where it builds the police by taking a year of each citizen's life to make it into a construct. If the year they took is bad (say, they die violently in the year that was taken) the construct is mentally damaged (5) A mutant in the poor area has some kind of mutation that causes tattoo type lines to appear. He found an augment that maps areas he discovers as he discovers them, making it so his entire body is covered in maps; it has some kind of narcotic effect so he does it as his life purpose. (6) A guy from a warrior race who had some kind of slave interdimensional whale that connected them all psychically and they drifted throughout time/dimensions conquering new civilisations until they hosed with your dad in game and he killed all of them but one who he bound to one time and forced to be peaceful and answer any question put to him good stuff. i have been pretty happy with the revival of the isometric rpg subgenre.

I'm liking it a lot. It's loving weird in a really cool way that makes it so you never know what you're going to see when you enter a new area.

I just looted a piece of trash called The Antagonist, which appears to be nothing more than a small smooth stone no matter how carefully you inspect it, unless you laugh around it in which case it starts howling with rage to drown you out until you stop. It has no other function.

Wasteland 2 kind of sucked and I didn't trust another game by the same guys to be good or have good writing just because it has the same word in the title as another game by different people did 15 years ago. It sounds cool though.

It sounds cool though. I have no nostalgia for Planescape whatsoever because I just bought it for the first time from gog like a month or two ago and only put maybe 15 minutes into it before it fell victim to the dreaded backlog and I'm still hooked on Torment. I've barely played anything else since it came out.

It sounds cool though. i played wasteland at release and didn't like it - seemed to have some very anti-fun mechanics and for some reason it made the temperatures of my at the time high end computer ridiculous. they seem to have put in a lot of work since then, and i've been thinking of giving it another try once i'm done with torment given how much i like torment and reading a plot summary for wasteland 2 and thinking it maybe had some interesting aspects, but seeing these kinds of sentiments doesn't bode well. probably 2/3 through torment. still loving it. a guy in the games thread did a big effort post on how the central plot's themes in this game aren't as good as those in planescape torment. unlike many short essays posted on this forum about videogames and other childish things it actually seemed to have some merit. nonetheless, the weird sci fi stuff in this tickles my brain in a way planescape's fantasy stuff didn't, so i'm having a hard time accepting numenera is less fun than planescape (having done a playthrough of planescape immediately before this game out, and a few others over hte years)
