Planescape: Torment and Icewind Dale: Enhanced Editions (Switch) Review
Torment isn’t strong enough for what these games put you through.

Planescape: Torment and Icewind Dale: Enhanced Editions on Switch is incredibly dense. These are enormous and very long journeys to experience, and they have a substantial initial barrier to them that might put off newcomers. While Torment is more accessible and easier to penetrate without a manual, Icewind Dale demands users go online and do the most rudimentary research on some of the rules. Back in the day when these originally came out, they came with instruction manuals which explained in great detail how much of the systems work. This compilation has no such manual included, and a digital version should have been tucked away inside some menu for reference. Playing docked is the best way to enjoy this compilation, since even when the font is adjusted to maximum size, it still is much too small to read without putting the console up and close to one's face. Fans of real role-playing really ought to acquire this, since it offers the best of both worlds on the scale of CRPGs.
