Pentiment is a slow and deliberate novel of a game. Though quite lively at times, this is still a game that asks players to read long, intricate conversations and remember scores of characters in a historic setting. The mystery is interesting, and the history is fascinating, but if these aren't enough to pull you through, you might want to look elsewhere. For patient players, Pentiment is a game like no other, teaching lessons on history, community, and the nature of life itself.

One of the best games of 2022. The story is rich and wonderfully written, and it is not afraid to point out the hardest struggles of our past and today's lives.

The whole game feels like a medieval manuscript brought to life... There is very little out there like it. If the past is a foreign country, then grab your passports and get ready to be illuminated.
