Pentiment

It's just one of dozens of games in recent years that create the illusion that choices affect the story. Pentiment can be extremely boring most of the time. There is too much unnecessary dialog to lengthen the gameplay. You don't know what will affect missions and what won't, so you have to interact with everything. In short, the lack of variety in the gameplay and the lack of options makes it a mediocre game. The only interesting thing about the game is the historical period it takes place in and the extremely cute art design. I endured and finished it for that, but I would never go back and give it a second look. The story is ridiculous anyway. Nothing we do throughout the whole game serves the main story. The game constantly distracts you from the main goal and makes you make irrelevant choices.
