Labels are rarely as useful as they pretend to be, but mentioning Planescape: Torment to any RPG or video game expert as “one of the best RPGs of all time” is more likely to be met with a “you know what you’re talking about” smile than a “get out of here” scoff. In 1999, developer Black Isles Studios took the vast Dungeons & Dragons setting known as Planescape and used it to build a revolutionary genre-defining masterpiece that is still studied and discussed today. Despite that, Planescape: Torment never got a sequel, and it remains, to this day, the only D&D video game to take place in that setting.
