Fantastico juego, toda una joyita

Шедевр на все времена

This game is for anyone who really, and I mean truly, live their own story. And I mean that. As someone who was drawn in by the premise, and was even lightly spoiled by an early twist, did not know what he was getting himself into, and I mean that in a great way. The game's campaign is short and sweet. It doesn't overstay its welcome, and knows how to get to the point, while giving you time to properly interact with everything. And I mean it. There is no state in which the game ends early, to my knowledge. No matter how well, or poorly you do, The story marches on. It's up to your actions and performance on whether this story is one of victory, or tragedy. And ultimately, how you go about the many major choices this game gives you is up to you. The game never admonishes you for your choice, or says you must go in a certain direction. The story of Pyre goes as you make it, for better or for worse. [spoiler]I was very surprised to see that the game appeared prepared, no matter who's left behind with you during the game. While certain characters won't be around until after a few more rites have passed, With the right work, you can make it so anyone you want can go home as early as you need, as it's based on how much you've leveled them up. Some have a higher level to clear than others, Which generally means you don't have TOTALLY free reign, it still ultimately feels very natural, and doesn't get in the way of much. Plus, with the fact that loss can mean one less friend gets to go home, the stakes feel INCREDIBLY high.[/spoiler] Going in, it's really clear to understand that this is a sport's game. it doesn't feel like one in terms of vibe and tone,but it is. It's 3 on 3 basketball, to describe it broadly. But very fun. With enough practice, you can control all three characters fairly well together, though I do think the CPU has an advantage on you that makes it far better at doing so than you could REALLY hope to achieve, as their reaction time appears to be more instantaneous than yours can be. But ultimately, overall, the AI provides a good level of challenge. I recommend the normal mode, as that's what I selected, and it ended up being balanced enough to not feel unfair on my first playthrough. The other part is that it's very much a visual novel. So get ready to read. Thankfully, the major names and concepts have a guide, which is activated by cursoring over key words. So even if you have to put this game down and come back, it's able to casually remind you of who certain people are, what's going on, etcetera, without being obtuse about it. In addition, all of the characters are very well-written. Your allies are loveable and sympathetic, your enemies range in terms of how despicable they are, [spoiler]and some among them are even people you wouldn't be opposed to seeing go home.[/spoiler] It makes the story nuanced enough and exciting overall. You'll find something, or someone, to love in this game. If you can, go in blind from here. It's a game that'll sit with you, and importantly, feel like your own. It's an unforgettable experience, and I wish I could play more games like this, as it honestly outdoes a lot of "choices matter" type games you'll see.

Très qualitatif, on en voudrait un peu plus !
