Pentiment Nintendo Switch Review - Is It Worth It? 

Pentiment is such a unique detective game, lovingly crafted, that's also about community, aging, and the passing of generations. 10/10 for me.

I bought the game on Sunday since its historical setting, and emphasis on theology and mythology with the elements of philosophy and literature was very intriguing for me. I was interested in it when it first came out but I don’t own an Xbox and don’t play games on PC. I thought it would be better to play it on my Switch instead of PS5 because it felt like the perfect game to game to play interchangeably between handheld and TV modes. I thought I could play it a few hours a day to relax during an intense period of work. Omg what game it was! I played it like a man possessed and completed it in 2.5 days with 22 hours during a very busy period. I got sleep deprived because of it, but I couldn’t let it go. What an amazing overall story and masterful storytelling. The way they play with the fonts and how it comes out to be a great importance in some critical instances is simply genius. The attention to detail in terms of historical accuracy and artistic expression is also marvelous. I’m not a guy who is usually drawn to, let’s say, “smaller” games; however, this one really blew me away and became one of my favorite games of all time. I know it is partly because of my interest for the themes that exist in the game, but I still recommend it to everyone who loves mystery solving - detective games with an actually satisfying ending.

I've bought it on Steam last year and played it maybe 1-2h only. Never thought I will see it on the Switch. Hope I can finish it now. 😄

Amazong game on the Switch OLED. Feels like it was made for it.

I enjoyed this a lot on gamepass.

Yeah easy 10. Glad that it did not get one oft those forcefully 9/10 or 8/10. This game is fantastic.

There's a physical version available.

This makes me more annoyed about the recent direct than I was before. This game actually looks really cool! But they showed it for all of like, five seconds so, not knowing what it was, I didn't think much of it. There's a much longer and better trailer for the Epic Mickey remake too that also makes that game look like fun. I really wish they'd gone into stuff more in the direct.

Really liked playing it with game pass on my laptop, it was great. But it’s not a game for people looking for action

I wish I could get into this more. I played it for an hour or so on Xbox and it just didn’t grab me.

History through food. One of the greatest games of this generation; glad more people will get to play it.

Played it last year on gamepass, Great game with fantastic Art direction

Excellent game. Thanks for the well-written review.

Y’all all really selling this one to me! I would love to see more games like this! I love history!

Thanks for the review! It is much more simplier, but you would enjoy The Pillar's of the Eart the game ;)

Is this game forgiving, in a sense where if I make what seems to be an inconsequential decision just completely ends my game right then and there? While I get this is a game to be replayed, I'm not a fan of sudden end games like 30 mins of playing.

Absolute masterpiece. Can't believe hose cheap it is. PLAY IT!

Wow! This video's awesome! I'm now looking into this one. :) Good stuff!

I didn't even know it was this kind of game, previous talks made it sound like some weird, new thing. This looks good! Also, another great, unique 10/10 NL score, Horace is an amazing game, also cheap, like 16 hour story, with jawdropping moments that will stay with you, a really incredible game

Disco Elysium: Medieval edition.

Wow. Was not expecting that score.

I love the game !!

I just bought it on ps5 let’s see how it goes …

I played it because my fave Lingua Ignota sings a song on the soundtrack, but I have to say I found it pretty slow and boring and didn't make it part three hours or so

Yes.

This type of game doesn’t need a lot of work to run well on Switch. We need more games like this!

Played this on PC gamepass and loved it. Honestly there should be more games like this. Pretty good price too.

Oooh

Another banger by PJ O’Reilly

Is there voice acting? I feel like some of the fonts will take me a bit longer to read

Great game. Ran suprisingly bad on my series x.

I played this on steam deck so it being on the switch does nothing for me. Great game though.

I hope there are same kind of game that use this style but with exclesistical classes, supranatural, undead, or dark forces-included plots.

Nothing is worth giving money to a company that supports "child lovers".

Those fonts are awful. This games sounds great but it’s not accessible at all for someone with visual issues like me. The font changes are novel but its style over function which I tend to hate in games. Any idea if they at least have larger font options in the settings?

I made a rule about no more 3rd party games on Switch and while Pentenance looks great on Switch, I’m gonna pass on it as it’s not a game I’m really that interested in.
