Torment: Tides of Numenera

Torment: Tides of Numenera had a highly successful kickstarter campaign. Harnessing the nostalgia people have for Planescape: Torment and promising a spiritual successor to it, inXile Entertainment managed to gather more than four times their initial goal of 900k USD. That's a lot of money even when considering the cost of game development. Then again, simply throwing currency at a game is not guaranteed to make its story good enough to be comparable to such a classic.

Hunted: The Demon's Forge

I suppose I bought Hunted: The Demon's Forge for the same reason as Blades of Time -- for fun third-person hack and slash. It did not turn out quite as fun as BoT, however -- melee combat seemed to involve being stagger-locked a lot. And so I played through the game using E'lara (an apostrophe because fantasy) who focuses on ranged combat. As the elf, the game is more of a third-person cover-based shooter.
