This was my first metroidvania back then when I didn't even know that this term exist. The art style and the characters are a joy to look at, and even though the story is not that strong, the gameplay and the visuals are compensating for it tenfolds.
I wanted to like Pyre because I adore Bastion, I liked Transistor and I LOVE Hades. Bust this game proved to more of a challange to me. Not because of difficulty, but because of the gameplay. It IS a visual novel first, and a team-based ball game second. The lore, the art style, the characters, the music (oh my God, those tunes!) where instant love for me, but the gameplay... I started the game now, at start of my backlog cleaning, and after the first 4 hours, I finally come to the realisation that I love Pyre. I want to go further, I want to finnish the story, because even though the gameplay is still not my cup of tea, I cracked it and now I can enjoy it. If you are a Supergiant Games fan, it is a must-have, just as any on the team's game. Usually I am againt buying DLCs, exspecially when they are not providing any in-game content, but the OST DLC is very tempting in this case, Darren Korb is a genius.
