Pyre is an admirable attempt to create a new hybrid -- part sports, part RPG -- but only one of the game’s halves is a true success. Surprisingly, that’s the sports half. Pyre’s world is an enticing one, it just isn’t conveyed in the best way. If you’re a sports game veteran willing to try something a bit different or somebody who mostly enjoyed past Supergiant games for their sumptuous audio and visuals, Pyre should light your fire. Unfortunately, those hoping for another full-bodied action-RPG experience similar to Bastion or Transistor may be left a bit cold.
Yagmur Sevinc from NoobFeed writes - Isn’t it such a blessing that the studio that gave us such great games like Hades and Bastion has also given us incredible soundtrack albums too? If you like these games, you might want to look at the five best songs that the indie studio Supergiant Games has given us.
Although often overlooked in Supergiant's gameography, 2017's Pyre is a fantastic game that might be the developer's most inspired work.
Play both if you can. I know its 'cool' (required these days to get the hits) to be sensational and I dont blame them at all, because well, here I am, worked. But both are worth your time.
I never played pyre but hades is great. I was late playing hades but im really surprised how good and fun it is.
If you were late to the party how could you be surprised how good it is?! Were you late getting the internet too?
I really wish I could have gotten more into Pyre, but the sports-like battle engine really turned me off of the game. The rest of the game seemed so interesting too! Hades on the other hand is one of my all-time favorite video games. I'll be following Supergiant Games forever.
Just my opinion but I despised Pyre with a passion! Liked Bastion and Absolutely Loved Transistor!!! But Pyre, I couldn't delete that game fast enough from my hard drive! I would really like to try Hades though, if it ever comes to playstation.
Pyre from Supergiant Games offers an outstanding amount of meaningful player choice that affects both gameplay and the narrative in a loop.
Hope it's as good as Bastion and Transistor!
