Planescape: Torment is a game I regretted not playing when it was new. Renowned for its complex story and de-emphasis on violence, it sounded fantastic. But by the time I saw it, the interface was so dated and unwieldy that it was horrible to play, despite the brilliant story.

So when I saw the Kickstarter campaign for a spiritual sequel to Torment, I knew I wanted to play it. It was coming out during my goals period, so it was added to the list.

The game was due to be released in June 2016, but I actually got my hands on it earlier as part of the beta test. This did make it very buggy (and even unplayable at at times thanks to certain bugs), but I took it seriously and reported all the bugs and issues I found. Despite all the bugs, I still thought it was a great game and intend to play the full version very soon.

Full version or not, I consider this goal complete.Planescape: Torment is a game I regretted not playing when it was new.
