I can listen to Josh Sawyer talk all day about game design.

Still have to play this one.

I like the concept of "historical RPG", wish we had more of those. Kingdom Come: Deliverance comes to mind, and it was as fun as immersive.

I'm going in blind on this one. I have the physical ordered on Switch.

Starting it now. The game is such a masterpiece.

Covers a lot of stuff from previous interviews Sawyer had done but its really good. You definitely get to see more of the team. The main artist, programmer, animator. Neat that they mentioned seeing the exhibit at the Getty Art Museum in LA as research. I saw that 2 years ago and it really is one of the best medieval manuscript collections I've personally seen (in the US at least). When you see some of the work that went into the animations, it becomes clear how much people underestimate it. It looks like it was just 1 or 2 people doing it but some parts of it look better than Vanillaware animation techniques. Especially the faces and the 2.5D depth techniques. Just really well done. Surprised they didnt mention the soundtrack.

Same for me on PS5. Can't wait.

I loved this game and I can’t recommend it enough. It’s simple in execution but is entirely carried by the incredible quality of its characters, storytelling and world building. Best in class for sure.

Really hope they can make more low budget games like this, focusing on less known historical settings.

While I agree and would love to see more historical RPGs, it's worth treating Pentiment more like a 2D adventure game with choices than a proper RPG. It's a fantastic game, but it's not an RPG and it's worth to know this beforehand so you won't feel disappointed
