A beautifully crafted love letter to Planescape: Torment.
However its most unique and compelling aspect (its setting) becomes one of its biggest detriments.
(Context: I've ran the Numenera TTRPG for about 4 years over since it was released) Its setting is VAST. Maybe too vast sometimes. And can be an avenue for compelling questions about humanities mark on the well, the grander cosmos and the vastness of history.
However, Numenera is at its best when these aspects loom over your players, just out of view. All the while you're playing a sword and Sorcery game none-the-wiser most of the time.
Unfortunately, Tides of Numenera takes the opposite approach with its story telling and whilst intriguing those looking for a slower burn or more personable story are ganna find the game lacking.
What's here though is great, and how the mechanics of the TTRPG are implimented into the video game are really cool. If you're a fan of Planescape: Torment I highly recommend.

An absolute sleeper hit.
What on the surface looks like babies first eco-simulator turns into a rapidly complex simulation game about managing your garden, then into a Animal Eugenics Science simulator. Incredibly addicting and very cute!

If ever there was a game that needed a remaster.
A game where you play god and have a little jesus animal who you teach to do what you want on paper sounds far too ambitious for 2001. And in some places it is, in others it creates a comfort game where you can sink hundreds of hours into.
Sure nostalgia effects my rating here a lot, and its literally unplayable at the moment on modern PCs. But this game is absolutely fantastic and I wish more people got to experience it.
