“Wow what a game. Was a little disappointed at first that the game wasn't the hack and slash I expect from Supergiant but I was surprised how much I like this game. The art, the storyline, and the characters are all…”

“Thank you, Supergiant Games, and to you, Darren Korb. I've listened to Pyre Soundtrack so much I reached 0.005% of Darren's listeners. The music has saved me many times, and the game made me think and smile many a time…”

“Overall, I really enjoyed the game, from the characters to the story to the music. Its pacing suffers a bit by the time you finished about 3/4ths of the campaign, but I doubt that would have been possible to change when…”
“Very meh. Felt like I was always waiting for things to happen. Not really my cup of tea. I’d still recommend it, but know that this game has a strangely paced narrative mixed with the esport (?) aspect of it. Mixed bag.”

“What a wonderful game. Very unique to say the least. I did not expect to like a text-heavy, basketball-adjacent fantasy game this much. Really lovely artstyle and music. Nice story concept and suprisingly good "combat".…”
“One of my favorite RPG's of all time, hope you like reading and dribbling”

“If youre a fan of SuperGiant games (bastion, transistor, hades 1/2) do yourself a favor and dont skip Pyre, i did and i wish i played it sooner, it truly is a unique gem, though that uniquess was a double edged sword, the unique mix of VN and gameplay put off a ton of people,…”

The way this game mutates over your playthrough, the systems it put into place, and the adaptative narrative where no matter what happens, the story goes on is something to be missed in…”
— a player, Steam review · 16 hrs played“Overall Impression: A-. Astonishing game. The music is wonderful. The gameplay is tight and fun. The story is original, touching, and will linger with you. Go in as blind as possible and enjoy. The game is made to be replayed, and it is one of the few that I have happily taken…”
