In Pyre, you play the role of the Reader, an exile who’s tasked with leading a group of fellow exiles called the Nightwings through sports-like rituals called the Rites.

Pyre is an RPG with real-time sports-like battles with fun gameplay, beautiful art, a wonderful soundtrack and a world that’s easy to become lost in.

Pros

  • Rites are a joy to play and require solid tactics at higher difficulty levels.
  • Your strategies must constantly adapt to the growth and changes that occur within your party over time.
  • World and characters are brought to life by the writing, the art and the soundtrack.
  • Choices are meaningful and ensure a unique and rewarding experience.
  • Difficulty can be changed at any time and can be further tweaked upwards for increased rewards.
  • Game oozes polish out of every nook and cranny.

Cons

  • If you don’t care about storytelling in games then you won’t have a good time with Pyre.
If you’re looking for a game that will immerse you in another world with interesting characters backed by solid gameplay then you can hardly go wrong with Pyre.
