    Pentiment displays Obsidian Entertainment's full capacity of developing excellent games in lesser-explored genres and Xbox Game Studios capacity of offering these games to new platforms.

    Pentiment is an excellent choice for narrative genre enthusiasts, despite its occasionally slow pacing. The abundance of choices and diverse paths available consistently challenges players to question their decisions, offering a multitude of possibilities and distinct destinations.

    We were largely enthralled during our dozen or so hours with Pentiment. The mystery at the heart of the narrative remains compelling throughout, but it was the smaller moments that warmed our hearts; breaking bread with friends, sharing in their joy and heartbreak, watching lives play out, and generations pass, in a world on the cusp of dramatic change.
