Pyre is an intressting game. Although, easily one of the worst of SuperGiants games, it isnt a "bad" game. Just the worst of what they have produced. I don't recommend if your expecting something on the bastion/transistor side story/gameplay, but...
It's a fun intressting concept...

I brought this game as a pre-order, before the hate against this game started.
Everything about this game inticed me, ive wanted to play a RPG in a snow like setting, and all of the visuals just captervated me.
The Music, The visual and later the story.

This game tells you its going to be sad, just from the trailer, and it delivered. Everything worked so well to compliment it. My only downsides to this game is that there isnt a physical copy avaliable outside Japan on PS Vita, and it wasnt marketed well. It was marketed as a sucessor to Chrono Trigger, which i wont argue that it is or isn't, but it certainly has gameplay flow borrowed from Chrono trigger.

If you want a game with sad story, Stunning, yet simple visuals, Good story, and Holllyy cow a sound track of like 130+ songs of pure Piano. *Thumbs Up* This is the game for you.

An Incredibly charming game.

VA-11 Hall-A: A Cyberpunk Bartender Action, or Vallhala for short. Is a Visual novel, set in the future, about Waifu's, Tech and living in this world.

You, Jill, work Work in VA-11 Hall-A. Your job is to serve the beverages, and provide a good service to the customers who arive in the bar, before it closes. Simple, but hella good story.

Story:
The story is one of the strongest parts of this game. It's simple, but catching. The interactions with the characters, and your character is refreshing, instead of the Virtual Lewdness of the Sakura franchise. It's Refreshing and different from most visual novels.

Characters:
Each character is fresh, and amusing. And have their good quirks. Did i Mention cat girls... There's a cat girl. Oh and the beloved dogs too, and yes the bathroom will smell of dog after playing this game. Their quirky and instantly lovable, instead of the more "Loli" or just flat out "Flat" characters of many other visual novals/games avaliable on Steam.
Oh, did i mention Lesbians yet?

Gameplay:
It's simple... But it doesn't need to be complex, as the roll of the game is much more on the story than on how it plays. Serve them drinks and pay them bills!

Art:
Gosh the Pixal artwork is good. Like Seriously. The characters look outstanding. And Blend in well with the rest of the artwork for the game. It Certainly pops from other games within it's franchise.

Overall, if you like Visual novels that sound good. then this is a game for you.

A intressting take from UBIsoft on a more Final fantasy remminisent style, infused with a art style simmilar to many Indi-games. (Rendered models with artwork backgrounds). The soundtrack is intressting, however lacks diversity when you feel it is needed (Boss music in particular).
The games artwork brings across the soft style it needs to brings across well telling the story.
However, my only flaw with this game is the obsessive need to Rhyme. It tries to hard to Rhyme, and sometimes is a-bit, nail biting to say the least.
The Story, is beautiful, slow paced, but almost obvious from the start, However, this diddn't stop me from completing it in 8 hours flat, (breaks included). Infact, this pushed me to finish, as i wanted to see how it would play out, and it was worth it with the support of beautiful, Final Fantasy styled concept art, (Suggest looking up Yoshitaka Amano) which adds to the soft and warmth provided in the game.

It's a intressting take, on a style which has since been laking somewhat recently, and i recommend it if you have played transistor, if you would like a see on something more softer and just as heartfelt.

This game is an absolutely stunning game. Although the game is short (5Hours for my first run through), it certainly makes up in story. And has a very high replayable factor.

They say the soundtrack adds to half the feel of a game, and i have to agree with this statement. The music is well placed alongside the stunning visuals, the soundtrack knows when it has to keep the mood tasteful, and certainly is a tearjerker at the end of the game.

The artwork is like candy for the eyes, A style which many game companies should follow suit, however, with titles such as Child of Light and others, this style pulls through as just gorgous! And suits the more techno/Steampunk feel required for the game.

This game very much is a massive build on Bastion, and takes what they implemented in that game, and improved it. If you enjoyed Bastion, you would enjoy this game much the same. The time pause function is intressting, with thousands of diffrent ways in which you can use and play with. Much like Bastion's simplier equipment style.

If you want a game with emotions running high, and a plot you have to interpret for yourself, then this is the game for you. The Story is intransing, and will shake you to the very core, if you take the time to understand the story. The consept is intressting, and it wastes no time in telling this story to you. It presents the peices to you, and it's your job to decode it, and work it out.
