So who predicted Obsidian's first release post Microsoft purchase to be a medieval murder mystery RPG? This is an incredible game that's clearly a passion project. I don't know how Obsidian convinced Microsoft to let them go ahead and make this game, but I'm extremely glad they did.
The art style is unique and very appropriate to the period and subject. They managed to pack a lot of character into the animations and the models.
The writing is absolutely top notch. I felt that the last few releases from Obsidian have been a little lacklustre in terms of dialogue and quest design but Pentiment features a compelling mystery and an indepth look into late medieval society. Through the effective writing and dialogue you will learn about this place and period in time, and come to love or hate various members of the community you interact with.
This is a game that made me feel varied emotions, think about faith, history, and how people remember others and their deeds. It's a beautiful game and one I hope will be played and remembered for a long time to come.
