torment is pretty dark too. It's gritty and harsh, but it leans more in the fantasy direction rather then down to earth the way Disco is.
Also disco is more of a slice of life while the plot of torment though still incredibly dark is more epic. Disco bleeds immersion. But to achieve it they stripped out pretty much all the fantasy elements out of the setting and story. Torment manages to achieve immersion while at the same time making the setting more epic and fantasmic then anything you've ever even seen. The writing and setting is better then basically almost every fantasy novel out there.
In fact Disco reads more like a contemporary novel then it does fantasy or sci-fi. Torment is grounded in fantasy but it's dark and gritty enough that it doesn't feel fake like the final fantasy games. I would say it lies somewhere in between a standard bioware RPG and Disco.
torment is better imo with writing on par with disco. Disco is great but depressing. Torment is more escapism while still being similar to disco in that it's intensely original like nothing you've ever seen before.
A story based single player campaign with the raw tension that FS2 I can't think of any off the top of my head.
A similar one would be ME2 and ME3 but those final missions had the same structure as any other mission. Once you kill off the enemies your fine, no sense of tension.
Nowadays if you're looking for that sort of tension it's more likely built into gameplay mechanics like dark souls. But any tension you feel there is incidental rather then guided by a fixed single player campaign... and once you master the mechanics the tension inevitably lessens.
