Pros
Pro Companions stories
Every companion you'll meet in the world will have almost as detailed personality and history as the main character. Gradually through the game you will be able to learn about their past, their reasons, interact with them, changing the very nature of your friends. All character are very unique, memorable and interesting to dialogue with.
Pro Vast, deep world
Greater part of the game takes place in the town of Sigil - the "crossroads" of all worlds in the DnD universe. It's full of different unspeakable creatures, items, factions and rules you'll have to meet and get yourself with. If you'd like to immerge in a totally unknown mystical world, this is the game for you.
Pro A dark, engaging setting
Planetscape: Torment has a dark setting where zombies and scary creatures are the focus, making for a game that is themed to be scarier over a traditional fantasy game. So for those interested in a darker themed fantasy setting this should appeal to their interests.
Pro Spiritual precursor of Torment: Tides of Numenera
inXile Entertainment said they were going to make a spiritual successor of Planescape: Torment called Torment: Tides of Numenera through kickstarter, it actually beat the record for hitting the $1 million mark at the time of the kickstarter which had a kickstarter goal of $900k that was planned for a month. The goal was hit in 6 hours. Total, Tides of Numenera has hit almost $5 million, more than 5 times than the original goal, and hit their goal in just six hours. This easy backing shows just how popular Planetscape: Torment was and still is.
Cons
Con Traditional fantasy fans may find the game daunting or too dark
Unlike most CRPG games the fantasy setting is not very Tolkienesque, there are no dwarves or elves to be seen. All of the traditional fantasy tropes will not be found here as the game focuses on a much darker setting with undead and other scarier creatures. This may not be intriguing to some and too dark a game for those that normally enjoy the CRPG genre.
