RPS:Rumours have been swirling for years about a possible sequel to Black Isle’s legendary and powerful roleplaying game Planescape: Torment, but the closure of the original studio and the jealous guarding of the Planescape rights by owners Wizards of the Coast seemed to have put paid to any comeback. But with original Interplay boss Brian Fargo very much back in the RPG business with current studio inXile’s wildly successful Wasteland 2 crowdfunding, everything changes. He and his team have come up with a way to make a new Torment game: this is really happening.
It’s foolish to say that one RPG is "better" than all the rest across systems and generations. This is merely the 25 RPGs we feel are the best and nothing more!
Dragon Quest 11 isn't even the best Dragon Quest game, it's a good game, but not the best. Dragon Quest 8 is superior to it in almost every way.
OK let's end this, in order

Some of my personal favorites are Planescape: Torment, New Vegas, Morrowind, Kotor 2, Wasteland 3, Witcher 2, Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines, Deus Ex, Disco Elysium and Vampyr.
As far as jrpg, while I'm not as big a fan as I am for Western RPGs, I love Persona 3 - 5, Dragon Quest 8 and 11, Rogue Galaxy, Final Fantast 6,7, and 12; and Lost Odyssey.
Amazon has discounted the physical versions of Concrete Genie and Planescape Torment & Icewind Dale: Enhanced Editions to $19.99.
Player 2 takes a look at the first few hours of a range of recent D&D re-releases on the Switch and discusses if they are worth your time after all these years.
I'm so geeked to see this sort of game being made.
God bless Kickstarter!
ohhhhhhhhh my!! The writing in Torment, in my opinion, is second to none.
Ahhh, so it's more a 'in the spirit of' Planescape Torment game.
I can dig that. The art looks wonderfully vivid.
Shame Wizards of the Coast were all up-tight. I mean, there's a whole Multiverse of potential for another Planescape video game.
Still, I won't lose sleep over there being no sequel. It stands alone quite strongly.
