Supergiant's best effort yet, “Pyre” is my kind of sports game, where the real drama is off the court. The Liberation Rite is by far the greatest feature – you can earn freedom for one of your best teammates, but doing so removes them from the roster. Will you hold someone back because you want them for future matches? Unfortunately, there's an awkwardness to the actual sporting events – showboating with one character is more intuitive than coordinating the team, undermining the mantra of “three act as one.”

I completely agree, the best coordination I could pull off was with two exiles, one running straight through the top and another on the bottom passing the orb back and forth.
