Pyre has very beautiful graphics It has interesting characters, although it does also have too much meaningless conversations. The gameplay loop is where it has lost potential, in a game that is basically glorified football, passing between charaters is suprisingly a mediocre tactic. After playing for some time I have found the problem with the dely between passing between characters instead of it happening instantly, making it often more wothwhile to solo the enemy team by killing them or rushing the pyre, while sometimes using a 2nd character to defend your own pyre. That took three stars from this game. Very sad.
I wasn't so happy with the state of the game first at homecoming, and took a break. After getting back to the game, I've seen: Improvment after improvement Communication between the fanbase and devs (devs explaining their choices etc.) Aknowledgement of shortcomings and how they will move forward. On top of that, they have been and are even more overly generous when it comes to rewards. Now, they only need to add new cool synergies, some cool skins, AND DRAGGABLE CARDS. (all things they are working on).
