This game is great, as all SuperGiant games seem to be. But please, PLEASE switch from "Mouse" to "Mouse and Keyboard". It's much much smoother that way.

Telling myself I don't need to buy Hades II yet, I decided to finally finish Pyre. It's such a a gorgeous, compelling game. The world building is so unique and incredible, the gameplay is a perfect example of easy to learn, difficult to master mechanics. Choices matter and affect the storyline and ending. My first playthrough was around 25 hours, but I'm probably going to play it again. Play this game!!!

It's a weird mix of fantasy soccer mixed with a visual novel that doesn't quite come together. The characters are extremely lovable and the game play starts simple but can ramp up if you want more challenge however it doesn't quite mesh.
I would say overall, get this because it's a fun visual novel, not because of actual game play. While it's fun, it never clicked for me, it feels a little to slippery for the amount of preciousness required.

that said, what a visual novel it is. The world is interesting, every character, even the side ones, feel like they have a lot going on. There's a ton of fun interactions and intrigue, with genuinely hard decisions to make, not because of any morality, but because i marvel at how well they integrated those decisions into the game play.

Overall, a very fun experience that's a little rough around the edges, but one that i haven't seen any other game attempt.
