Top 98 greatest video games ever made

49. Planescape: Torment

Planescape: Torment is primarily story-driven; combat is given less importance than in most role-playing games. It was considered by many to be the best role-playing game of 1999, and continues to receive attention long after its release. Gameplay often focuses on the resolution of quests through dialogue rather than combat, and many of the game’s combat encounters can be resolved through dialogue or stealth. That’s on the surface – delve deeper and you’ll find arguably the best RPG narrative ever crafted.
