Pyre Review – A Fresh Take On Fantasy Sports That May Leave RPG Fans Feeling Burned

Pyre is a bit of a departure for developer Supergiant Games. The small 12-man studio was quick to establish a brand with their first two titles, Bastion and Transistor, which were both isometric RPGs with a focus on action, innovative mechanics, and gorgeous art. Supergiant’s third game builds on those acclaimed titles in some key ways, but also veers off into new and uncharted territory.

Make no mistake, Pyre has the look and sound of a Supergiant game, but its gameplay is a quirky mix of party-based RPG, sports game, and visual novel. That’s not an easy combo to pull off, so does Pyre further build upon Supergiant’s legacy, or burn it to the ground? Let’s find out!

[...]

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.

Score: 7.5/10
