It seems like Supergiant Games has a knack for creating a visual style and world building which hooks me in, but does not deliver any sort of gameplay that brings me enjoyment. It was not clear to me that this was the same company behind Transistor and Bastion when I bought Pyre, but had I known I probably would have avoided this game altogether.

Furbo pero con historia y furros. Está bien. Tal vez un infravalorado de los juegos de Supergiant.

Supergiant doesn't miss. Fantastic art, world building, and music ect. Probably just barely my least favorite of theirs but obviously with Pyre being a 4.5 that's less an indictment on Pyre and more a praise to the rest of their catalog. I do think it's impressive how they keep, what essentially is the same progression loop the whole game, fresh the whole time. Always at the perfect time, a new character, a new mechanic, a new little twist to keep it fresh and engaging. It really continuously reveals itself to be immaculately paced the deeper you get into it. Choosing who to liberate from your party is also brilliantly done both mechanically and narratively, the balance of wanting to liberate characters you like vs trying not to liberate characters your best in combat with. The conversation of Supergiant being a premium studio in the industry is way long overdue.
