I really enjoyed the plot and want to explore other branches and character arcs, but the Rite gameplay isn't really my cup of tea so I guess I'll look them up on YouTube or something.
Otherwise great game, with good art direction, dialogue, UI and soundtrack, I really do recommend at least one playthrough.

This is the only good sports video game out there and it's not even a real sport. Wish they made an animated series.
Not a fan of sports combat.
Pyre es un muy buen juego con una muy buena historia y personajes. Hay momentillos que incluso te llegan al corazón, acompañado por un apartado gráfico y sonoro que, a falta de jugar a Hades, creo que significa el techo para esta gente. Simplemente muy bueno. ¿Cómo desarrolla a esos personajes? Porque el 60% del juego o más es puramente conversacional, y realmente es el núcleo. Es cierto que existe una jugabilidad por equipos, y aunque veo la intención y no son excesivamente aburridos, creo que no es algo a lo que le hayan dedicado tanto, o al menos no lo parece. Pero son fáciles de todos modos, no he perdido ni un solo partido simplemente teniendo cuidado. A veces creo que le ponen como mucho peso (hay hasta una tabla de clasificaciones que jamás mirarás), pero eso no les hace descuidar lo verdaderamente importante.
For some reason, after being a big fan of Transistor and Bastion, I totally skipped playing Pyre. I guess I heard that it was more of a sports game than a RPG, and thought it wasn't for me.
Oh boy, was I wrong. The game is divided in essentially 3 phases: travelling to encounters, interacting with party members in a visual-novel style, and tactical "combat" which is really just fantasy 3-player basketball. And all of these phases are lovely in their own way. Travelling is visually beautiful, the NPCs are wonderful and masterfully written, and the tactical combat is original and really, really fun. There is a bit of a learning curve, especially in the later-game combats, if you tend to be more of a tank than a tactician, like I am, but overall it's just a blast.
I did not give the game 5 stars because I feel like it's lacking something I can't quite put my finger on. Maybe more meaningful interactions with the NPCs? But really, it's a lovely game.

Best Supergiant game, fantasy basketball rules, the presentation is still best in the business.
I played this game in one sitting.

Rugby Quidditch Basketball is pretty fun, especially with the added depth of the skill trees and team building. Combine that with that supergiant soul in the form of beautiful art, great music, and an enchanting story and you've got yourself a great time. May the Scribes bless Ti'zo, Dalbert, and Manley.
It's a lot of fun ye. I think it's gameplay loops such as the fantasy basketball section with the progression/resource management systems being tied around it are all done incredibly well and the visual novel section that does the main bulk of the storytelling, lore and worldbuilding is also really engaging and does a good job at driving the stakes of the main basketball section. I hope a sequel would come out, i'm excited to see what they could do more on this gameplay premise.
There are two Supergiant games about escaping the underworld, and the best one is not what you're thinking.
There is a lot of good here, but it's just too repetitive.
I highly enjoyed my time with Pyre! The Sports RPG aspect of it was great. In a normal Sports simulation game you care about your players to an extent, but not really. You never really have meaningful talks with them. However, the conversations you have with your teammates are an engaging way of building bonds with these people. You get to know their struggles and such! In Pyre, you are on a journey out of exile with your teammates. So you feel that connection even through that! You actually care about the team!
The sports part is fun and engaging. It took a bit to wrap my head around, but when you understand the strategy and tactics of it, it gets more involved and entertaining. The environments you travel to are beautiful to look at and are diverse in their atmosphere! Great art attached to them as well!
Pyre is a grand trip that I enjoyed my time with heavily!

Enlightenment avails itself through struggle.
Dios en la tierra.
I think its core gameplay is less fun than anything else Supergiant has made, but the way it's gameplay loop ties into it's story is masterfully done.
This game might not have a gameplay loop that scratches everyones brain but you have to give it immense credit for how the story and gameplay are absolutely married. I'd prefer to see SuperGiant move back in this direction after Hades.
The gameplay can wear its welcome after putting some time into it, and it can be a bit awkward with how the system is set up with passing and what not, but it is definitely an enjoyable experience up to the first "end" of the game.
Supergiant don't miss.

The core mechanics eventually put me off this in frustration, but I definitely would like to return in the future. Hope to finish the Supergiant canon before Hades II.
The music, characters, story and world of Pyre are all fantastic. That alone makes the game worth playing. However, I found the actual gameplay to be less so. You're basically playing fantasy football where each character has their own abilities to give you an advantage. There isn't much of it since the game focuses more on lore about the world and it's characters than playing football, but I didn't really care for it. Overall it was enjoyable enough but not my favorite from Super Giant.
Yes the main gameplay loop is weird, but I don't care. I love how the story adapts no matter how much you lose.
Easily Supergiant’s best release. An excellent story that makes the quick but fun gameplay sections all the more tense as you fight for your friends’ freedom. Letting the story progress even if you lose matches is a great decision that heightens already great sections. You won’t find any game quite like this anywhere
Supergiant is really good at making video games. It has a slow start but once the ball gets rolling the gameplay is really neat. The gameplay and story element interwoven is unique and my choices do matter. Killer music and gorgeous visual is the standard from these developers, boy do I love it.
When the stars arise...
The game part is fun, the reading part is well-written.
I like this game a decent amount. The gameplay is pretty rewarding and the game is actually gorgeous. All the art in the game is great, which makes it fun to see what’s next. The music is great too. The story was also fun too. I loved the amount of choice in the game and how it allows the player to lose some characters.
Pyre is an unusual game. Half visual-novel, half sports-game, it combines two genres that I generally don't play or like. And yet, I really enjoyed my time with Pyre! It managed to keep me engaged with the plot, and the team-based matches were surprisingly fun to complete.
Has to be said: The visuals are fantastic.

not really a fan of the gameplay but good game
My favorite from Supergiant; the gameplay definitely isn't for everyone, but I really, really enjoyed it, and the plot was charming, gripping, and moving.
Very fun and short game that I would highly recommend to anyone.
I like the characters in it a lot and the gameplay is pretty fun.
