Pyre by Supergiant. I have no idea how a mystical basketball slash visual novel with RPG elements clicked with me but WOW did it. Its the first game I ever platinum’d too.
I love Supergiant games, but Pyre really didn’t click for me either. The presentation was great, but after Bastion and Transistor, the gameplay just fell flat. I’m glad to see people enjoyed it though.
I love Hades and Hades II, however I’m hoping the studio will try something new for their next game.
I was just about to say this too!! Seriously so good. The gameplay is an understandable turnoff, personally I love it but RPG NBA Jam probably won’t do it for everyone. but WOW the story is incredible. The personal stakes of each liberation rite make each feel like a must-win; the fact that the story continues if you lose makes it all the more nerve-wracking.
And that’s not even considering the revolutionary bent of the whole thing, too, or the beautifully realized world with deeply strange history, or one of the best goddamn soundtracks I’ve ever heard… deserves some more love as a cult classic imo.

I’m a fan of most of Supergiant’s work but Pyre just felt so boring and repetitive to me

Pyre was really unique and fun! I‘m not sure if it‘s something people actually dislike, though. It‘s more so that nobody knows about it, I think.
