I'm still getting the hang of the mechanics, but I love the art style and magic of this world! You know when you're in for a gorgeous treat when you play a Supergiant game.

Finished in less than 24hrs. Pretty interesting and all in all a really good game though it is not 100% my type of game. Would have been more immersive if characters are properly voiced.

I like Pyre, as all Supergiant games it's super beautiful. But my problem is that there's way too much text in respect to how much you actually play the fantasy football thing. Plus, the story is not really that much of a tale. And the interactive star map tries to suggest you open exploring while it's really not. If this …

If this was my first Supergiant, I'd still be amazed ofc, though.

Wow! Pyre ir part of itch's bundle! For those sifting through all the options, if you didn't play it, give it a try!

Pyre dominated my music this year. (although to be fair, it might be an artefact of the fact that it's a big album)

I wasn't sure how this game's sountrack would hit me compared to Transistor's. After several weeks of listening non stop, I'll say that while not as powerful, it's on par.

Reallly liking this game. As it's par for the course with Supergiant games, it's gorgeous and with great music (although not a stand out like Transistor). But I've also noticed that they have a great ability to craft complex worlds that are only reveal through small stories, oblique references and conversations but are otherwise never fully explained.

Really intriguing game, jam packed with lore and a created world for such a short game. Some pacing issues, but the game really picks up in the back half.

This game sounds so cool based on the little description I've heard so far. Some day when I have time to play games again (never), I'll get around to playing this :)
