Pyre (PC)
This is the best game I've ever played and likely will ever play that I... didn't really enjoy that much. Gonna spoiler tag for safety although I'm not revealing anything specific about the plot at all.

I don't know. The world of Pyre just felt a little too bleak to me. The whole journey is so aggressively zero-sum from almost the very beginning to the end that I kind of always just felt... bad about myself while playing. And I obviously realize that that sort of hollow melancholy is the exact feeling you're supposed to take, which is why I can applaud the game from an objective standpoint for so superbly accomplishing its goals, but it just wasn't for me. I never felt a sense of satisfaction from pretty much anything I did here, and I like my games to be satisfying.

Plus, some of the plot points themselves felt a little too contrived, the main story overstays its welcome just a tad for how little the Rites ever actually differ, I'm not big on visual novel-esque gameplay in general... The whole experience just feels less tight than other Supergiant efforts. It's got all the great art and music and lore that I've come to expect from them, and again, at its core, Pyre is pretty masterful in what it presents. But I think the fact that this was kind of an experimental game that diverges from their comfort style a bit definitely shows.
