Torment: Tides of Numenera - The secret great RPG of 2017?

No entirely sure what's so secret about it, honestly, though I guess visiting a "niche" forum that deals with exactly these types of games will do that to you.

Either way, it's in my top 5 of anticipated titles, but definitely does not hold the top spot: that one is reserved for… KC: D.
(please be good, please be good, please be good )

I've played the EA version that is currently being flogged on Steam, and to be honest was very disappointed. Bugs and UI quirks aside, the flavour of the world itself comes across as quite bland and really very soulless. It does not make me want to play this game, at all really. Suffice it to say, I quickly had my credit card refunded.

I do not think that this will be the "secret great RPG of 2017", rather, I think that title will fall on the shoulders of the game that Larian is working on, or perhaps Piranha Bytes' offering (if they can avoid past mistakes / pitfalls)

Swen said DOS2 will be more serious game. They have more writers now.

For me 2017 is Torment(ed) year first and foremost. Then Expedition Viking, DOS2, Kingdom Come and others…

ME:A is fancy mega building with hollow rooms slowly dismantled by dirty, rough and uneducated yet active fellows from ELEX.

Torment, DOS2 and Andromeda are easily the front runners for me.

Fucking lol at the eternal BioWare haters though, the salt is deep and bitter.

Torment is absolutely my #1 anticipated game of the year. D:OS2 is at #2. I also have hope for several others, but those are the only two I will be severely disappointed if they don't deliver.

I liked WL2 alot, and D:OS too, so I have faith in both these developers no matter how much people complain about Torment being really late. For all I care it could take a year or two more and I'll still be happy as long as the end product is good.
