Gotta love it... Even though it's flawed
I could probably write essays about this game, limited only by gog's inability to support line breaks in user reviews. In many ways, it's again Supergiant at its best: Amazing artwork, gripping story with lovable characters underscored by quality music (not as bombastic as the last 2 games, but still at least very good) and tight gameplay. It saddens me to say however, these elements aren't all that well intertwined as with top of the line games and the 'game' part is lacking too. The visual novel style of storytelling is almost completely disconnected from the sports/battle/game portion of the game: you're either reading a comic book, or playing the game. While the stories of Bastion and Transistor could be regarded as somewhat shallow by some, they were fully integrated with the game systems and worked as coherent wholes. With Pyre, the writers told an interesting and very elaborate story. The fact that it's still gripping even when presented as text and (mostly) static images is telling how good the writing is. Still, from a video game one expects some gameplay support. The battle/sports portion is pretty cool and a lot of thought went into it, it still has major issues however. There's basically no strategy since you only control one character at a time and the game extremely prefers super-fast, aggressive play. If you can deliver the ball before the enemy can even figure out what's going on, you win. The worst part, I believe, is, you can lose ALL your characters, leaving your base utterly defenseless as the enemy player sprints into it while you just watch the revival timers... Also I'm not entirely buying the whole 'escape from hellhole exile' plot since it's somewhat undermined by the gorgeous graphics, friendly characters and humour. This place doesn't look all that bad to me is what I'm saying. At the end though, last night I couldn't put the game down for 12 hours until I finished it, despite my reservations, and that hasn't happened in years.
