    It's just one of dozens of games in recent years that create the illusion that choices affect the story. There is nothing special about it. The game can be extremely boring most of the time. Too much unnecessary dialog to extend the gameplay. You are forced to interact with everything because you don't know what will or won't affect the missions. In short, it also has a very long gameplayIt's just one of dozens of games in recent years that create the illusion that choices affect the story. There is nothing special about it. The game can be extremely boring most of the time. Too much unnecessary dialog to extend the gameplay. You are forced to interact with everything because you don't know what will or won't affect the missions. In short, it also has a very long gameplay due to the lack of variety in the gameplay and the lack of choices. I wouldn't recommend it to everyone. Likewise, if the Windows language is Turkish, it is not possible to play the game, the game is broken. You have to translate it to English. It's 2023 and this is the first time I've seen such a ridiculous problem in this game. The gentlemen still haven't bothered to release a fix patch or something. The only interesting part of the game is the period it is set in and the extremely cute art design. I endured and finished it for that, but I would never go back and look at it a second time. The story is ridiculous anyway. Nothing we do throughout the whole game serves the main story. The game constantly distracts you from the main objective and makes you make irrelevant choices.… Expand

    probably the greatest game with no gameplay

    it's sad this'll go so underappreciated, but a game of this type never would have been popular anyway

    This is bad game, with bad gameplay and not actual historical situations and reality. Boring plot, boring characters, boring dialogues. Terrible in game mechanic.

    And it is full of bugs: so many bugs, that I lost count. Right now I soft-locked game in II act (yes, I am sure) and this is the summary of this product.

    Pentiment es un juego aburridisimo con gráficos de hace 25 años, todo esta mal con este juego, la música es inexistente, solo cuentas con el sonido ambiental que parece hecho por un aficionado, la historia es un asco, la jugabilidad es peor que la de un cd rom interactivo y por si fuera poco la animación parece hecha por niños de primaria. Es el peor juego que he visto en toda mi vida.

    Pentiment is a captivating Renaissance adventure that challenges players to unravel both a murder mystery and the many enigmas of history.

    Overall, Pentiment is a fantastic game with minor flaws that still impresses, even if the twist at the end of the second act is very difficult to accept. Despite being developed by a small team, Obsidian has demonstrated its ability to create an immersive and demanding game that blurs the line between art and gameplay.
