    Hi I’m the artist who drew the demon pride month pic at 21:45
    I can’t believe my stuff is being acknowledged outside of tumblr 😂

    Before Hades came out Pyre was the best game out of Supergiant and it never gets enough love. Probably because it's one of those games simply watching someone play it will never give you the full picture as playing it yourself because of the internal struggle over your decision making. Ever since it came out I've told people you have have to experience it to truly understand why it is so good. Also Darren Korb did some of his best work on this game. I love all his music but Pyre has some of the most diverse range.

    I am in dire need for more games about fantasy characters playing sports. Please share them with me.

      haven’t played it myself but isn’t that partly the plot of FFX

    I recently bought the game because I finally could afford it and no matter how many reviews I watched, nothing prepared me for the beautiful story of Pyre. I was crying during multiple parts of the story because I became way too invested in the characters. I was just pleasantly surprised every time a vocal track played and I just adore this game a lot.

    supergiant has made my favourite games since bastion.
    Kid stands up. Shakes the sand from his eyes. Hammer calls to the kid, reminding him of a past life.
    Time to get to work.

    Solid review. I've had conflicting feelings about Pyre, I think it's by far more interesting and artistically respectable compared to Hades, I love how much unique lore there is solely inside this game, no comic or movie. The dialogue isn't captivating enough for me and waiting for your favourite character to decide to come and talk, made me sort of gloss over most scenes. Watching someone that isn't as good in video games play this was honestly the most fun I've had, I'm not a sports guy, but cheering him on was great.

    Not commenting usually, but the algorithm blessed me with your vid, so I'll "bless" back with a comment. Keep up the good work man, awesome video!

    Very well done review! The quality belies your audience, and hope you find more in the future. I very much liked Pyre for the same reasons as you, particularly when all the mainstream games started to feel the same. An Oregon Trail Fantasy Sport Novel? Sign me up. Although not of the same genre, I'd recommend Laika: Aged Through Blood if you want another interesting story. Just be warned that it can be brutally difficult at times.

    • @CrispiestK
      @CrispiestK  หลายเดือนก่อน

      I'll be sure to try that in the future, thanks for the recommend!

    I love the thumbnail so much because a full english translation of the lyrics of Great Days can be loosely interpreted as related to some of the themes of Pyre's plot.
    What an underrated game, whenever people talk about what Supergiant's "Worst" game is like trying to find imperfections in an anthology of absolute consistent quality, I almost always hear Pyre and I'm always thrown a bit for a loop. I wonder if it's just because people didn't have the attention span for the visual novel aspects.

    • @CrispiestK
      @CrispiestK  หลายเดือนก่อน

      With most people I talked to about Pyre it was more the sports gameplay that turned people off from liking it. Pyre is an experimental idea and at the end of the day you like it or you don’t. Thanks for the thoughts.

      But the sports gameplay was one of the coolest parts, then again action sports have always been my favorite genre, this is why I don't like racing games, but I love Burnout 3: Takedown. I don't love basketball games, but I love NBA Street. I would have loved Yoko Taro's "Gun Soccer" if that ever made it past the game design drafting phase.

    Okay damn. I've never heard of this game and these types of games aren't really something I've really wanted to try but the premise in of itself is bonkers. A fantasy sports visual novel sort of action?? This video really made me want to play this.
    Also, keep going. The video's great and easily digestable. Watched it all the way through with interest

    • @CrispiestK

      All supergiant's games are bangers but I wish this game was talked about more...
