New Torment game?

in Torment: Tides of Numenera
Has anyone bought Torment: Tides of Numenera on Steam or elsewhere?  I somehow missed Planescape: Torment in my formative years.  I've heard good things about the original.  Any thoughts?

    There's a MMORPG.com review, but its dropped to page 2 on the News feed. (at least on my phone)

    I liked the original game at least but I havn't had the time to get it yet, lots of overtime and I am renovating a house so I don't have much time for a new game until I actually moved in and have everything in place. Unless I get the flu of course...

    I've seen nothing but positive reviews.  If you like other CRPGS like baldur's gate and icewind dale I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

    I guess you heard this before but Im gonna do it one more time:

    Play Planescape:Torment

    That game has no equal in storytelling, its an emotional ride from start to the end

    Good thing about torment is that thanks to its beautiful 2D engine it still looks really nice even today

    But remember Torment is more like an interactive book than an RPG (even tho the combat is hella fun as well and top tier spells having their own cinematics) , so reading EVERYTHING is absolutely essential to understand the depth of the story and the world

    Plus it perfectly sits on the edge of wackiness and seriousness (flying skull flirting with hookers, killing people with your own cut off hand etc...)

    I think I actually spent way more time reading and theorycrafting about MMOs than playing them
