Board 8 > So how is Pyre

(+) Yeah! (+)

Worth playing or just listen to the OST?

God damn 9.7 from IGN
---

can't spell ignorant
---

I've heard nothing but great things. I can't wait to get home from work.
---

Reviews are very good, even from multiple folks who said "I wanted to like Bastion/Transistor, but just couldn't get into them"
---

Sounds good but the genre is weird
Not sure I ever played a game of that genre before
---

Bump
---

I've got 3 hours in now.

Really enjoying it.
---

I'm a couple hours in as well. I just finished the first ascension rite .


I have nothing but enormous praise.
---

Amazing game. Played and beat it all in one sitting. Music is aweeeesome and so many of the characters are fantastic.

Rukey and Ti'zo in particular are soooo good <3

Rukey is love.

Makes me wish this was like a 100-200 hr VN instead though, would be able to give so much more depth to everything.
---

Yea I've been playing a bit and really enjoy it
---

Seeing lots of people straight up not knowing what a VN was before this game came out and being real confused.

Dan Ryckert hates it!
---

And if dan hates it that confirms that it's probably not for me either
---

Dan shouldn't really be how people gauge their opinions on things
---

But we're the same person
---

<3 Rukey
---

I pre-ordered but haven't gotten to touch it yet.

Glad to hear that Supergiant is 3 for 3.
---

I really like it and unlike a lot of recent games I've been wanting to pick it up again the moment I stop playing. I fear I'm going to beat it!

I can also see why it wouldn't be for everyone. I'm not big into text adventures but this one is working for me. I like the Rites (though I never feel very good at them).

Ti'zo is great. Same with Sir Gilman.
---

oh this is out????????????????
---

Just beat it. It's a grand time. It would get repetitive if the game didn't force you to use different characters, but on the standard difficulty i only lost 2 matches in the campaign. A couple got me scared, but for the most part i didn't have too much trouble and I'd consider myself to be bad.

Also, who the hell is Dan Ryckert?
---

I caved and bought it.

I need more Rukey in my life
---

More people need to play this
---

I just got to a certain point and I really didn't expect the game to go where it's going even though it makes sense. Super cool.

*spoilers for character rankings so far*

Sir Gilman > Rukey > Ti'zo > Pamitha > Hedwyn > Jodarial > Shae

but I really like all of them
---

Just beat it. Excellent game, tough to say my rankings so far away from the other ones. As far as characters, also difficult to rank, though Bae is bae. Definitely a clear loser in actual combat, though coughwormknightcough.

a less depressing ending than expected, downright hopeful in fact, though there are some clearly less than optimal points.
---

Sounds legit, loved Bastion but I couldn't get comfortable with Transistor's controls.
---

This is the type of game that I think "I have some free time wonder if I can sneak in some Pyre" no matter how little free time I have.

---

I feel like I've played a lot more than I have. Steam says only 6 hours, but I guess that's cause I've had little play sessions here and there.
