If you think the game is simplistic, you definitely have not played it. It's an insanely deep and dark story that tackles VERY heavy subject matters. Not to mention a huge history lesson. I've learned more about the Holy Roman Empire in 5 hours of this game than I did in my High School history class It earns its M rating for sure. The high critical praise for Pentiment is completely justified. It's gameplay loop though isn't designed to appeal to a mass gaming audience though. It was intentionally made to be a niche game. 

Would I put it over something like GoW: Ragnarok? Absolutely not lol. Ragnarok is a special experience that you don't get to experience that often, and I'm currently working on getting Platinum.

Not that it would matter anyway. Pentiment came out the day after all the nominees were announced, so it wasn't up for any nominations.

I do need to look into it more, but it's Obsidian so I have a lot of faith. I don't think they've ever made a game I don't like. That said, I actually tend to prefer the simpler-looking games. More and more I'm finding I'm adding 2D platformers, pixel games, and indies to my lists more than AAA titles. yeah, stuff like Elden Ring and Breath of the Wild and Red Dead Redemption 2 are special, but lately I am finding I am getting more pure joy out of TMNT Shredder's Revenge and Cuphead and the Delicious Last Course. 

Don't sleep on the indies, man. They are doing so much for the industry in a world where most AAA means Activision-Blizzard, EA, and Ubisoft garbage. 

There's other great Indies like Disco Elysium heavy story, Donut County anout a hole on ground swallow things, Hollow Knight amazing Metroidvania, A Hat in time (Skip Switch Version) But PS4 and Xbox one has some amazing rain effects , And Tetris Effect.
