Planescape: Torment

<h3>14. Planescape: Torment</h3> Planescape is one of those games that you occasionally hear is really good and then you look up one screenshot and go "nope, I’m never playing that" and walk away and your life is worse for it. Listen, I get that the appearance is anachronistic, but this game is too good to miss. It’s so good I can barely find words worthy to describe the magnitude of its goodness.<br><br> Planescape: Torment is an RPG about being immortal, crammed with more undead than you can shake a severed limb at, including zombies assigned to alternately sad and hilarious purposes. The necrotic atmosphere permeates every moment in the game: you start the story laying on a slab, your best friend is a disembodied skull, and there are so many dead things running around that there’s a special ability dedicated just to talking with them. Torment is a deeply biting and tragic RPG that turns practically every trope and convention of the genre on its head. It’s also quite accessible today, with ports to mobile and a nice shiny GOG wrapper to play on modern PCs.
