    Great story so far. About halfway through and it keeps surprising me. Mechanically the game is very simple and easy to understand but it’s the narrative flow that keeps this game separate from its action-filled, kill-everything-in-sight contemporaries. This is a thinking man’s game. CoD players, move along..

    The art is awesome, the dialog is hilarious, historical and just all around really great. I've never played this type of game but gamepass got me to try it and I'm really enjoying this story so far. Great job Obsidian!

    É um game excelente e atende a proposta que era esperado pra ele, não é um triple A e quem esperava isso, estava no mundo da lua, para o gênero é excelente, com uma arte incrível.

For an older gamer, familiar with the concepts, this is a fantastic nostalgia experience. I suspect anyone who is focused on FPS games or modern RPG games may be frustrated by the experience. That said, the game itself is fantastic. You are challenged to develop your thoughts and theories. You are hemmed in by time and challenged to select the right answers. At the same time, I find the game educational on the life of people at that time and the limits of life at the time. I’ve found it to be enjoyable, educational and one of the best games I have played. All that said, it is not for everyone. Gamers looking for a fast paced action shooter will be bitterly disappointed by this game.

    Enjoyable game. While the world isn't huge it is an open world, as you're able to go anywhere you please, assuming it's unlocked at that time of day. It took a couple days to complete. And the ending was bittersweet. I enjoyed that you got to personalize your characters through dialog. My only hang up was not knowing upfront which dialogs drove story and which were just informational.

    Pentiment es un juego unico. Es una mezcla entre RPG y Walking Simulator donde de forma totalmente fortuita te veras en la mitad de una investigacion de un asesinato.

Es una mezcla entre RPG y Walking Simulator donde de forma totalmente fortuita te veras en la mitad de una investigacion de un asesinato.

    Es un juego rudo de jugar al principio. acostumbrados a juegos que te llevan de la mano desde el minuto uno, y a acompañantes que practicamente te resuelven los puzzles antes siquiera que estos aparezcan, un juego donde resulta contra-intuitivo comprender el mapa se hace complicado. Aun asi, esa 'arisca' primera toma de contacto se vuelve tremendamente comoda y satisfactoria tras los primeros 30-40 minutos de juego. No es que el juego sea aburrido e ingobernable la primera media hora, es que no entiendes lo que el juego te esta pidiendo que hagas.

    El juego te esta pidiendo que hables con los personajes, que definas tu trasfondo e historia MIENTRAS hablas con el resto de personajes y no en una pantalla de creacion previa de personaje. Estas MODELANDO a tu personaje MIENTRAS estas jugando. Son tus decisiones en la primera media hora las que modelan a tu personaje. No es que el juego se 'tosco', es que los primeros 30 minutos estaban definiendo al personaje MIENTRAS jugabas.

    El resto del juego es una delicia: el juego te atrapa bajo el misterio del asesinato sin resolver y siempre estas diciendo 'venga, charlo con otro personaje mas, y lo dejo por hoy', pero tu y yo sabemos que no va a ser asi. Vas a charlar con uno, y luego con otro, y luego con otro, y luego vas a comer con otro, y luego, si, iras a dormir, pero te despertaran en mitad de la noche, y querras hablar con otro, y querras ir al bosque a ver si otro personaje esta alli... es muy dificil, MUY DIFICIL, quitar el juego una vez has empezado a jugar.

    Obsidian lo ha vuelto a hacer, tenemos una pequeña joya entre manos. Un juego asi habria sido IMPOSIBLE sin GamePass. Algo tan original, transgresor, y con una estetica tan particular jamas habria tenido luz verde de ninguna productora o distribuidora.

    A very nice game, with lots of atmosphere. I did drag a bit at times, and I was ready at times to quit the game. But I'm glad I finished it.
    Getting around the game, especially in the beginning, can be a bit of a quest. But once you get the hang of it, the game & its controls are (usually) quite intuitive.

Es un juego realmente recomendable para las personas a quien les gusten las buenas narrativas y los buenos libros. También para los amantes de la historia, ya que hay pocos juegos con mejor precisión histórica. Es impresionante como el juego consigue transmitir la situación que se vivía en la Baviera del siglo XVI, con los abusos de los poderosos, la miseria del pueblo llano, las numerosas y diversas espiritualidades del momento y la reforma de Lutero.
    A nivel artístico, no es un juego anticuado aunque no tenga gráficos realistas. Su estilo es completamente intencional, tomando como inspiración los libros iluminados de finales de época medieval e inicios de época moderna. Así, artísticamente es un juego original, que nos sumerge más en la historia de un pintor del siglo XVI.
    Puede que los puzles sean muy sencillos y que no se tenga que pensar mucho para resolverlos, pero cumplen su cometido, ser una pequeña distracción de la narrativa del juego.

    Metacritic, you need to do a better job at filtering out reviews from people that clearly never played the game and have nothing to do with the game. More console war BS. This stuff is not useful for people who were genuinely looking for user reviews. I don't care what Sony fanboys think.

    Obsidian is a fantastic studio and have made some incredible games - Fallout New Vegas, Pillars of Eternity 1 & 2, The Outer Worlds, KOTOR 2, Tyranny, etc. Let them make an indie title with a smaller team if they want to. It's not like they are charging AAA price for it - it's very cheap, priced exactly like an indie title. It was a passion project for them. There really isn't any game quite like it on the market.    … Expand

    The is definitely a different type of game. At first glance I thought this looks boring but it's such an easy play through and you begin to follow the story more and more and now I'm sitting at work wondering what will be revealed next because the story telling in the game is incredible. If you play alot of Nintendo games where there's tons of dialog then go for it. You won't be disappointed.

    Went into this not knowing a thing, but found the writing pretty banal and the gameplay tedious. Personally didn't like the writing, feels high-handed and pretentious, and the art is overrated

    No hay nada más aburrido que este juego, cualquier juego de android es más divertido que el Pentiment, Inclusive el parchis tiene mejores gráficos y jugabilidad que este juego. No cometas el error de ni siquiera instalar el juego ya que es un desperdicio de espacio en disco.

    This isn't even a game, it is a virtual book. I only played 20 minutes of this steaming pile of garbage and that's enough for me to know that there isn't any actual gameplay.

Are you freaking kidding me Xbox Game Studios? They had the audacity to sell us a $30 PowerPoint Presentation and now a $20 virtual book. I can purchase an actual book for a cheaper price. Xbox Game Studios publishing "indie" games isn't the real problem, it's the fact that they have the lowest production value possible. Microsoft is a multi-trillion dollar company for goodness sake, and this game makes Untitled Goose Game look like a AAA game. That is pathetic and flat out embarrassing.

    Is there any multiplayer? Not that I know of. This game doesn't even have any gameplay, so it doesn't matter either way. These cheapskates didn't even bother to hire voice actors. I want a refund. It's free on Game Pass, but this game should have been free to began with. I've played free flash and mobile games that have better production value than this. Microsoft brags about day and date games, but this year had been nothing but indie trash. There's no need to subscribe to that awful service for now. I don't recommend this poor excuse of a "game" at all, unless you want to support laziness.    … Expand

    Sinceramente eu duvido muito que estas pessoas que estão dando nota 10 pro game jogaram e realmente consideraram o jogo perfeito, conforme a nota sugere. Isso não é um jogo de videogame galera, na moral. Chega a ser verginhoso dar nota alta para isso.

    Parte técnica, parece realizado por un grupo de desarrolladores en su primer mes frente un proyecto de estas características, (((el juego TOEM UNA AVENTURA FOTOGRAFICA, es en blanco y negro y tan plano y 2D como este))) sin embargo el TOEM engancha de principio a fin, este NO, es patético, PATETICO, ahora me pregunto como no odiarlo.
    Parte Grafica, bien, que mas se puede esperar de "arte medieval" 2D, bien, X en la vida.
    Audio nada mas de lo mismo, monótono y aburrido.
    Este "video juego" no vale ni el tiempo, ni los datos (5gb) no se donde están, ni la electricidad que se utilizo ni para su producción, ni para que ninguna persona lo descargara.
    En fin este juego me hizo odiar Xbox y obsidian.

    Algo si puedo decir, este "video juego" fue tan osado que se permitió patear en el suelo a todos los maravillosos títulos que fueron presentados por la empresa antes, es una empresa que ya nadie podrá volver a ver con los mismos ojos y ESO ES LO MAS TRISTE.    … Expand

    Pentiment is a thrilling, Renaissance-style whodunit that forgoes conventional video game action by focusing on an engaging narrative, branching dialogue options, and character relationships.

    Pentiment is a superb game that marks an important step forward for its genre. Quiet, contemplative and intelligent, it is a shining example of what happens when a team is allowed to expand their horizons and take risks.
