5/9/2023 0 Comments Obsidian definitionThe next year, Obsidian launched Grounded, which isn't an RPG at all. Since then, Obsidian launched a successful Fallout: New Vegas spiritual successor, 2019's The Outer Worlds, a small first-person RPG (well, small when compared to most triple-A open-world games) that took players to a hyper-capitalist solar system ruled by corporations, where players could choose to ally with a Rick Sanchez-like scientist or back The Board and work to crush dissent. It followed those games up with the strikingly original Alpha Protocol, an espionage-focused action RPG, but provided its spin-off services again in 2010, this time developing the beloved Fallout: New Vegas in place of Bethesda. Beginning life as a sequel incubator for more established RPG developers studios, Obsidian's first two games, Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic 2: The Sith Lords and Neverwinter Nights 2, were sequels to popular BioWare games. Pentiment is a new kind of game for Obsidian, but this isn't the first time the studio - which just celebrated its 19th anniversary - has zigged when fans expected it to zag. Hopefully, in this detective story, we’ll be able to find the killer. While the game’s murder mystery set-up and RPG-meets-adventure-game genre hybridization drew pre-reveal comparisons to Disco Elysium, Pentiment’s narrative sounds more like Zodiac but with the decades-long investigation transplanted from ‘70s-‘90s San Francisco to 16th century Germany.
