Mar 31, 2025Obsidian’s medieval murder mystery Pentiment is a small but incredibly dense narrative with little gameplay but heaps of some of the most exquisitely crafted dialogue in all of gaming. It’s more captivating than it is exciting, and it may appeal more to readers rather than gamers. I thoroughly enjoyed my time with it and already know its writing will stick with me far longer than most bigger, more technically impressive games.

Apr 5, 2024Pentiment stands as a testament to originality and meticulous attention in gaming. It faithfully recreates the Renaissance era, and the weight of your decisions significantly impacts the entire narrative, making it a game that everyone should experience. Kudos to Microsoft for enabling a wider audience to engage with the artistry it offers.

Mar 21, 2024Obsidian's Pentiment is not for everyone, but this RPG does offer a fascinating look at the religious and political unrest of the early sixteenth century. A variety of backgrounds and a time limit that doesn't allow you to pursue every plot thread in one playthrough, it also offers good replayability. Unfortunately, it also somewhat overstays its welcome when the last hours repeat a lot of what you already know. The Switch port isn't flawless, but will suit you just fine if this is your platform of choice.
