Supergiant Games I feel is one f those studio that never misses.
Every single one of its titles has been a project that, even if small, feels like a giant love letter, with effort put beyond comprehension in any single aspect.

Pyre is ofter considered their weaker work, mostly because of it's premise: you gotta help a bunch of lost travelers, and they way you help them is.... by playing a basketball ritual?

It's a weird idea, that many people may found too funky... but the way it is presented and the role it plays into the story makes me adore this title.

The fac that you as the "director" of the group get to decide where to go in the realm, and every decisoon may inpact the way the different characters grow and play, also leads to every "match" to be important, as a single loss and mistake can lead to huge consequences.

Even with the ability of "retry" to reach the best possible endings the game offers... you still have a weight to your choices, and you gotta make some hard decisions that will make you think even after the game is over.

It is a truly unique experience, full of amazing haracters, amazing music and a interesting gameplay loop.

My second favorite Supergiant game, and definitely the best basketball game I have ever played!
