Planescape: Torment is a 1999 role-playing video game developed by Black Isle Studios and published by Interplay Entertainment for Windows. The game takes place in locations from the multiverse of Planescape, a Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) fantasy campaign setting. The game's engine is a modified version of the Infinity Engine, which was used previously for BioWare's Baldur's Gate, an earlier D&D game set in the Forgotten Realms.

Runs well on modern hardware.

Does this game have good combat? No. Does this game have build variety? No again. Is it for everyone and should every single person play this? Big no. Does this game have one of the deepest stories ever told in the gaming medium with fancy literature levels of writing, while inspiring many, many games that came after? Yes.
This is only one of the greatest games of all time! I highly recommend this to people who love complex narrative games and love a good story. Just *know* that the game will take 8 hours to finally click for you. This is a very rewarding game but takes patience and dedication! This is also vastly re-playable and I have done 2 runs in about 70ish hours. ----- I'm back and I did my 3rd run as a speed-run. It was very rewarding and just shows how quick this game can go if you know what you are doing. Excellent characters and even better writing with them. If you like old school games and are willing to meet this game at it's level, this will become your next favorite game!
I am gone. Top tier writing and story, horrific game play. Doing quests, helping others or choosing otherwise, and learning the history of the landscape and yourself is so gosh darn beautiful and interesting. The way everyone interacts with you is meaningful, and even the NPCs that did not have names and anything important, still had interesting and helpful things to say. The game play is some actual top tier buns. I felt pretty weak (which in and of itself is fine) all the time, but the worst part is that it takes the D&D approach to combat, so more times then not they just stand there not hitting each other. The spells (while awesome) can get tedious when the boss spams minute long cutscenes at you, and the AI can be very jank and you're gonna be spamming that space bar all the time during combat.
