Ako ste ljubitelji rpg igara, verovatno znate da je već nekih desetak dana beta verzija dugo očekivanog rpga Torment: Tides of Numenera, aktivna i dostupna na Steamu u obiliku Early Access faze. Mi smo imali priliku da je ekskluzivno oprobamo, pa naše prve utiske obavezno čitajte tako što ćete kliknuti na ovaj link.
U međuvremenu, danas se pojavio prvi beta patch koji donosi puno poboljšanja, pre svega donosi prečice preko tastature, kao i gomilu ispravki “ključnih” bugova i sveopšte poboljšanje gameplay iskustva. Kao što možete i da vidite u našim prvim utiscima, generalno smo bili zadovoljni igrom, ali je bilo jasno da igra “puca po šavovima” i da joj teba dosta rada u smislu tehničkih ispravki i optimizacije, i ovo je prvi korak u pravom pravcu, pa jedva čekamo da večeras isprobamo igru sa novim patchom.
Imajte na umu da patch donosi i neke promene u save/load sistemu, pa se može desiti da vaši stari save fajlovi neće biti kompatibilni sa novom verzijom igre, te ćete u tom slučaju morati da startujete iz početka. Punu listu ispravki možete videti ispod:
