And sure, a few seconds isn’t a long time, but we’re talking about video games here. I constantly wind up feeling discouraged and frustrated because I can’t actually tell how much progress I’m making in a given encounter, and after I kill everything I can see I don’t get any sort of immediate feedback, but I have to just wait around for a few seconds for the next stage to begin. After the initial wave of enemies spawns in a room, you kill them all, but you can’t leave the room yet! You have to wait for another wave of enemies to spawn, and then kill those too. The aspect of combat that bothered me the most was the way enemies would respawn. However, while I am often willing to just grit my teeth and push through combat to get to the parts of a game I enjoy, Bastion is so combat heavy that it outweighed the atmosphere and storytelling.

So Bastion is far from unique in that I didn’t enjoy the combat. I generally regard fights as things I have to get through to access the story. Let me be clear that I almost always dislike combat in games. While I found the narration compelling and I enjoyed seeing the world form itself as I walked through it, I hated the combat. I’ve tried to play Bastion several times, but never got very far into it. TL DR: Pyre is so substantially different from other Supergiant games that it appeals to an audience who wants a completely different gameplay experience than the general Supergiant fanbase.īefore trying Pyre, I had never enjoyed a Supergiant game.
