Torment: Tides of Numenera [Steam, GOG, Official Site], the big new RPG from inXile Entertainment has released with day-1 Linux support.
I spoke to inXile about requesting a Linux review key and they sent me on to the publisher, Techland. The good news is that they've agreed to supply a key. The bad news is that there was no Linux version available before release, so it will take me a short while to get even a basic report out on it.
Still, thank you Techland and inXile for providing a key for me, I am grateful!
BTRE's Note: DrMcCoy asked if the Dynamic Cloth option worked, as the middleware did not appear to support it. I checked for myself in-game and it seems that the devs have, thankfully, sorted it out. The toggle does change the graphical behavior of cloths though it's a somewhat subtle effect unless you're zoomed in close to the characters.
About the game
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.

Quoting: STiATGrr, not even done with Tyranny yet...
But cool!
I have BG2 to play first, and then finish PoE after BG2. Finished Tyranny some time ago.

We might have to start asking developers to put a hold on supporting linux, just so we get a chance to finish games....

I have so many games installed... been trying to finish Dying Light: The Following... and I have all the other D&D games, and yet I also want to finish the Ishar Trilogy on my Atari Falcon, along with Phantasie 1-3... And yet I should really learn Python for work...
That's it, we just all need clones to send off to day jobs while we can spend time playing great video games on Linux!

Quoting: buenaventuraQuoting: edmondoInstalled and played about 90 minutes on AMD RX 470 (mesa driver) without issues.
The game looks nice and the story seems interesting, even I've only scratched a bit of it.
Now let's go back into the last castoff body and try to understand "what does one life matter".
What are your specs more exactly, how many gb VRAM does that card have? These names tell me nothing.
Thanks for your help!
Sorry for the late answer.
The gfx card is a RADEON RX 470 GAMING X 4G.
My CPU is an AMD X3 720 overclocked at 3 GHz.

Hi!
Thank you for the answer anyhow, I will probably pick up this game when I have a better computer, it is important to have a decent framerate for immersion, I feel.
