Pentiment is a vibrant adventure that fully embraces its time period, artistic style, and sense of mystery.
VGChartz's Lee Mehr: "When it’s all said and done, Pentiment is one of the most impressive narrative adventures in recent years. From the words scrawled across the page to impressive background details, there's a distinct appreciation for history coming out of every pore; moreover, it doesn't merely succeed at doing its homework, but also in fashioning unique visual storytelling that harmonizes with its rich narrative & themes. There are some specific design and narrative critiques, but none of them outright smother the abundant successes. For a title so reverent of history, it feels like divine justice that Obsidian's special adventure earns such a high spot in the annals of its own."
Pentiment demonstrates Obsidian Entertainment's ability to develop excellent games in genres that are currently little explored and Xbox Game Studios' ability to offer these games for new platforms.
Update 1.01 for the PS4 and PS5 versions of Pentiment is now available, and patch notes reveal that the game's platinum trophy has a new name.
Doesn't seem like my type of game, but I'll still give it a go being it will be on Gamepass tomorrow.
Just like seeing love coming to Obsidian. The game has gotten great reviews pretty much across the board.
