How we pick them
We compare the tags the Steam community gives each game with our own classification: what you do (action, story, building…), the difficulty, how long sessions last and whether you play alone or with others. Nobody pays to appear.
About Pyre
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.
