Evaluation
Torment: Tides of Numenera launched out of Early Access on February 28, 2017. Shortly after launch, inXile announced on March 9, 2017 that they would be delivering additional free post-launch content — specifically a new companion named Oom, the Voluminous Codex, and Crisis system improvements. They delivered on all of these commitments with the "Servant of the Tides" update on May 16, 2017, which shipped Oom (a fully voiced companion with a unique questline), the Voluminous Codex lore system, and various balance and quality-of-life improvements — all free for existing owners.
No additional content was announced after that update. The two DLC entries on the store (Legacy Edition Upgrade and Immortal Edition Upgrade) are both edition upgrade packs that released on launch day — neither represents unshipped content. There have been no developer communications announcing further expansions, roadmaps, or planned content beyond what was already delivered in May 2017. The game launched as a complete, narrative-driven single-player RPG and received its final content update nearly nine years ago. It is complete.

About this game
You are born falling from orbit, a new mind in a body once occupied by the Changing God, a being who has cheated death for millennia. If you survive, your journey through the Ninth World will only get stranger… and deadlier.
With a host of strange companions – whose motives and goals may help or harm you – you must escape an ancient, unstoppable creature called the Sorrow and answer the question that defines your existence: What does one life matter?
Torment: Tides of Numenera is the thematic successor to Planescape: Torment, one of the most critically acclaimed and beloved role-playing games of all time. Torment: Tides of Numenera is a single-player, isometric, narrative-driven role-playing game set in Monte Cook’s Numenera universe, and brought to you by the creative team behind Planescape: Torment and the award-winning Wasteland 2.

Features:
- A Deep, Thematically Satisfying Story. The philosophical underpinnings of Torment drive the game, both mechanically and narratively. Your words, choices, and actions are your primary weapons.
- A World Unlike Any Other. Journey across the Ninth World, a fantastic, original setting, with awe-inspiring visuals, offbeat and unpredictable items to use in and out of battle, and stunning feats of magic. Powered by technology used in the award-winning Pillars of Eternity by Obsidian Entertainment, the Numenera setting by Monte Cook provides endless wonders and impossibly imaginative locations for you to explore.
- A Rich, Personal Narrative. Thoughtful and character-driven, the story is epic in feel but deeply personal in substance, with nontraditional characters and companions whose motivations and desires shape their actions throughout the game.
- Reactivity, Replayability, and the Tides. Your choices matter, and morality in the Ninth World is not a simple matter of “right” and “wrong”. You will decide the fates of those around you, and characters will react to your decisions and reputation. The result is a deeply replayable experience that arises naturally from your actions throughout the game.
- A New Take on Combat. With the Crisis system, combat is more than just bashing your enemies. Plan your way through hand-crafted set-pieces which combine battles with environmental puzzles, social interaction, stealth, and more.
