History YMMV / TormentTidesOfNumenera

* PortingDisaster: The console versions. Both the UsefulNotes/PlayStation4 and UsefulNotes/XboxOne versions have major stuttering problems and fail to run at a consistent 30 frames per second. Clipping issues are also plentiful, with it being possible to get stuck in a wall next to an intractable object in the ''tutorial area''. By 2020, however, the game seems to have been patched sufficiently.

* JerkassWoobie: [[spoiler:The First Castoff is responsible for eons' worth of problems by beginning the Endless Battle and was motivated largely by personal spite, but said spite was against the Changing God-and you've just passed his entry under Complete Monster. She was the first victim of his cowardice and selfishness as an unwanted byproduct of his cloning process, told ''to her face'' [[CloningBlues she was little more than an unneeded set of clothes]] and for her trouble was made a pawn of the Bloom, also above. Ultimately, the First was made who she was by villains worse than she ever was, and never, ever was able to escape the whole painful cycle.]]

* InferredHolocaust: Inverted. Have you done everything you can to be helpful to those in need? Have you been kind and sympathetic to the innocent? Have many of the people who you have crossed path with thanked you for improving their lives, sometimes even calling you a hero? [[spoiler: Wrong, says the story. Actually, you've been leaving a trail of pain, suffering and conflict wherever you go. The question of ''who'', exactly, has been made to suffer and ''how'' they've been suffering is never addressed. The player is left to presume they somehow must have been one of the invisible, nameless background inhabitants of the world they've literally never seen or interacted with.]]

* * TheyChangedItNowItSucks: The combat system being changed to TurnBasedCombat instead of RealTimeWithPause of the original turned out to be rather divisive among fans.

* EnjoyTheStorySkipTheGame: ''PlanescapeTorment'' was noted for the extremely great story, writing, art and atmosphere, but the gameplay was the weakest link. Most fans agree it's the same with ''Tides of Numenera'': the story and writing is great but the combat is bland and boring.
