What Should I Play Now?

Pyre

  • Narrative
  • Fantasy sport
  • RPG

A Supergiant RPG told mostly through text: you guide a band of exiles through a purgatory and play for their freedom in Rites, three-on-three matches where you pass an orb and hurl it at the rival pyre.

Why play it now

When you want an 8 to 10-hour story where losing a Rite doesn't end your game: the journey carries on.

Who it's for

For anyone who likes choices that matter: you can't free everyone, and the ending depends on whom you pick.

When not to pick it

If you don't fancy reading: the story comes in lots of text and the Rites barely change.
