Developer Supergiant Games set the bar impressively high with their previous title, Bastion; a critically acclaimed action RPG with an art style like never seen before. Supergiant Games has again stepped forward, bringing us an incredibly captivating story of redemption, pathos, and a beautiful and unmistakable world. Pyre is a story of exiles trying to find freedom from their imprisonment in the Downside, a hauntingly beautiful purgatory. Check out our video review below for the details.

Pyre gives players a deep and unique cast of characters from across multiple races, all exiled to the Downside. The party is tasked with completing the Rites: a unique sport-like combat system comprised of teams of three, where orbs must be taken to the enemies Pyre to advance. It’s an interesting combat mechanic for a game like this, and its incredibly satisfying to mix and match your party for the necessary edge to win and advance in the Downside.
