Pyre Reviews
Pyre is one of those games that gradually captivates you, and in the end leaves you dazzled by the quality of the experience that is offered. Like the incredible universe created by Supergiant, the game slowly opens its doors to great characters, sublime levels of production and creative and distinct gameplay. Pyre is definitely an example of creativity and love of its developers.

Pyre is a beautiful and well made genre-bender that has all the things fans of indie games love plus a terrific atmosphere known from previous Supergiant Games products. The strange thing is: you play some sort of football but after a few matches everything will be clear and you’ll be feverishly putting together new teams and strategies. Awesome!

Pyre completely blew my expectation out of the water as I was not prepared to be so emotionally invested in all of these characters and letting go was even harder. I don’t have any complaints for this game and I can’t wait to start a second playthrough. If you liked Bastion or Transistor then please do yourself a favor and check this one out. It is arguably the best one of those three.
If you only consider its narrative, art direction, music and lore, Pyre is absolulety gorgeous. But its "combat" mechanic just doesn't succeed in being totally fun.

Deep, atmospheric and unique, but too slow and only in english. Not for everyone, but those who enjoy its proposal will be sucked into this magnificient new world that Supergiant Games has created.

Supergiant Games delivers another unique, memorable title with Pyre. It manages to work on two totally separate levels, presenting a beautifully drawn fantasy virtual novel and a surprisingly complex twist on the classic game of football. Its story can be a little slow and a little bizarre, but it ends up having a lot of charm, and its core game is likely to become a local multiplayer classic
Supergiant goes three for three with another title you don't want to miss.
A fascinating and deep strategic adventure that will please the storytelling's lovers.

Pyre might be slow, dull and focused too much on storytelling at some points, but it's also a unique and fresh take on Action RPG genre with wonderful storytelling and top-notch art design. If you are an Action RPG fan, play it.

Pyre is a wonderfully made game, with simplistically beautiful graphics, and an engaging soundtrack. The gameplay can get a bit repetitive, but that doesn't stop it from being an enjoyable journey. The characters and challenges were more than enough to make up for it.
Pyre is simply a complete package. Everything from story and characters to art and gameplay is superb. While I could use nearly every positive word I know to praise this game, nothing can really describe the roller coaster of emotions I felt playing it. It is an endlessly surprising and satisfying experience that I would recommend to just about anyone.
Pyre has an interesting combat system, though it does become a tad repetitive. The beautiful visuals and audio more than make up for any shortcomings.
Almost every element ties into the game's overarching theme, which calls into question rules and tradition.
I only wish that the mechanics and feeling of Pyreball lived up to that strong storytelling, because it so often feels like an interruption to a great tale.
With Pyre, Supergiant Games continues to showcase their unique gameplay, art style and sound. All of these elements come together beautifully and leave a lasting impression.
The truth is that Pyre does exactly what it set out to do, with no caveats or qualifiers. It created a truly original core game mode and backed it up with solid RPG mechanics that extend the game's already impressive longevity for a $20 game.
The bizarre mix of influences and gameplay doesn't always gel, but the visuals and writing help paper over the cracks in this admirably unique adventure.
