Impressions of the game (Pyre)

Held at the end of last year, but to write about the impressions of hands came just now.

Game from the Studio Supergiant Games, the creators of Bastion and Transistor.

Pyre event happen in a place that is called Nineteen. In this desolate and harsh place expelled for various crimes and misdemeanors from the Commonwealth, of a state, in which for many years prohibited literacy. Player – one of those exiles, who in the wasteland finds the group of characters calling themselves Noncrime. They – the searchers Rituals, rites of competition, a reward for the victory which will ultimately freedom and return to the Commonwealth. It is written in the Book – and our GG is the one who can read.

From the point of view of game mechanics, Pyre is a role – playing game with the influence of Japanese visual novels and competitive-team action. We travel the world Nigera, we meet other characters on your path, make decisions, find useful mascots and develop the skills of his companions. And most importantly, participate in local Rituals. These competitive rituals – a separate song. They faced two of the triad, the purpose of which is to extinguish the Fire of the opponent, scoring in his special Sphere. Dynamic, original and exciting, I must say.

Of course, Supergiant Games would not Supergiant, if the game would not be the wonderful soundtrack. And in the Pyre he is.
By the way, Pyre much attention is paid to the player's choice. And this choice is organically woven into the plot and setting of the game.

Unfortunately, it is not without its drawbacks. At a certain stage of the game we will need to return through locations and it is quickly bored. Eventually the Rituals become routine and the player begins to expect the long-awaited finale. The finale, in which we learn what happened to each of the familiar characters and the "world above us".

Summary: another great example of creativity Supergiant Games.

8/10

Yes, this backtracking delivers of course. To escape from the Lower inter... in the sense of Nigera, have to sweat. (And to break up the anus too).

installed it the day before yesterday afternoon.......went to bed at 7am......and at 9 we had to be at work.....just couldn't stop))))

The stars came together at the behest of the Scribes!
The third time, the third time the stars aligned so well that we got another great game where literally every mouse clicks are caught with a real buzz!
This time it's a platformer, not a tactic, and something like a sports simulation game very much sort of converted basketball with role-based admixture. In between the ceremonies the most interesting and, as always, a little depressed, but very bright world on the brink. Many very unusual types of locals and great characters. As companions and rivals. Each location and even each character their own musical theme and, Oh Yes, great music is still here.
The game is extremely diverse in terms of plot twists, turns. Hell, even the final song will be unique to each passing!
Separate commendable translators for Russian. Fortunately there is only one talker + songs. The judge sounded just gorgeous, don't know how in the original, but gorgeous. Well, the songs are excellent, there is no doubt, for their epic they showed in past games.
But, I never thought I'd say this about games Supergiant Games, now the drawbacks:
The story is diverse, you can even play always game, but really strong turns does not Shine. Although difficult to choose whom to release, whom to leave, especially at the end. But, for example, the fact that it was at the end of the Transistor even there. Even let a tear no matter what. Although the final song is very atmospheric, due to the fact that the characters and the world in General is heavily imbued /quickly looks like something from the lashes/.
After Transistor with its vast and elegant bunch of different songs I was expecting something at least close, but no. There are several good, for example the final or fire, but mostly it's either just the music (excellent) or menestrelya sometimes even without music. Beautiful, Yes, our Russian voice is gorgeous, but not the same, and motive means. such as a whole one.
In General, first find a game these developers not as a masterpiece/10 and only 9/10. :) But still it's the indie game that everyone should play. This is a work of art.
9/10

Pys: Viva la Revolution!
