It really does read like a spambot message, because it doesn't seem like the would-be bot read the review at all. It just registered something about game length and copy-pasted a canned response.

Agreed 100%. Every single one of the developer responses are just subtle variations of the same message and do nothing to address what the reviewers said. Why hire a PR guy at all when a spambot could be programmed to do the same thing for free?

Also sales are pretty flat and there were only 80 reviews in the last 30 days... and it only increased from 67% to 70% so the champagne is probably still on hold. Still, it'll be interesting to see the trend in 6 months or so when (presumably) the new purchasers will be those who had less of an idea of the original game and weren't particularly hyped for this release.

I had vowed to boycott Torment: Tides of Numenera in response to the Gamescom fiasco. Now that InXile has apologized profusely for their mistreatment of the Codex, should I relent and play Numenera, or should I refrain from playing it for the rest of my days? :M

Just beat PST a few days ago. Is this game worth playing?
No.

The only "positive" thing about it is that it will make you appreciate PS:T that much more :D

It also could have value as a learning tool for up and coming RPG developers by showing them how NOT to make their games.

Beyond that, its okay if you treat it as more of a novella than a game, but even then $45 is too much for a novella. Wait for a massive discount, and hopefully by then you can play it with Oom and the other cut content they're bringing back, and maybe that will make things better? Maybe?
