Since its acquisition by Microsoft, Obsidian Entertainment has proven itself to be a powerhouse for the company. It has, since then, announced huge and highly anticipated RPGs likeAvowed and The Outer Worlds 2, while also supporting the early access release ofGrounded. The first is a first-person RPG comparable to Skyrim, it seems, while The Outer Worlds 2 is expanding beyond the first title. Yet, while Obsidian is known for RPGs, Grounded was a sandbox survival that took off.

Pentiment is another RPG coming from Obsidian Entertainment, but it's not quite like its others. It is a historical narrative adventure RPG, set in 16th century Bavaria, where players investigate the murder of a prominent figure.
