WTF is... - Pyre ?

TotalBiscuit takes a look at Supergiants 3rd game. After Bastion and Transistor, will a radically different approach work out or perhaps even alienate players of their previous titles?

WTF is... Hades Betting total biscuit is reviewing the game elsewhere. He always enjoyed games made by super giant... we miss you dearly TB.

[@Wolves187X]

🥲

[@jaketunes10]

RIP John. Steam sale is rolling around and your insightful and invaluable WTF videos keep on giving. Thank you.

[@kerred]

I would have loved to see how happy he would have been playing Hades

[@holdenkamden1300]

I know I am kind of off topic but do anyone know a good website to stream new tv shows online?

[@novasolarius8763]

For those just watching this video, Supergiant has added a new difficulty that acts as a type of NG+. It locks you to the highest difficulty level, unlocks all items in the shop, unlocks all pages in the book, unlocks all Titan Stars (the idol/limiter things) and forces you to use several of them, increasing the difficulty further.

[@ScreamingBeast]

You can hear him getting somewhat emotional near the end... God I miss him so much.

[@masterpringle]

Yeah, you can really feel his love for video games there. Hearing this now really hit hard.

[@scottmune4484]

This video is his hardest to watch, as though by this date he knew he wasn't going to live to see their next game. We'll never know what he would have said about Hades. so sad.

[@rockingjamie]

@@scottmune4484 it's really difficult to listen to him towards the end. I just felt he knew what Supergiant were capable of and that in all likelihood, he wouldn't be there to see it. He should have got to play Hades. I could have seen that competing with Brothers to be his all time favourite.

[@avlaenamnell6994]

@@rockingjamie all i can hope is he got to play it wherever he ended up at.

[@TocloseamI]

I’m in a tougher time in my life and I really appreciate the times before when I had TB as a thorough, quality, investigative influence in my life. I miss him, and wish Jenna and their son the best. Thanks for the great times

[@Qladstone]

So this is what a quality game review is like. I totally forgot that these exist.

[@vindikaktus]

Returned to Pyre this year for another playthrough and saw his name pop up on the steam page. Now I'm here and damn didnt realize I missed him this much. RIP John.

[@666slateran666]

Wish he could have seen Hades success and wide spread acclaim. Supergiant totally deserved it! Just wish TB finally got to play the culmination of their efforts.

[@akornion666]

We miss you, Mr. TotalBiscuit.

[@aurenian8247]

Man I miss this guy.

[@shin1300]

Just saw Super Giant games had a developer sale today. Thanks to TB I was introduced to such amazing games (Bastion & Transistor) Planning to buy Pyre tomorrow just because I saw his Curator review on steam. Damn even after all this time I still miss you TB

[@andyseawright556]

Beat this game tonight. Praise tb

[@Largentina.]

How did you like Pyre?

[@jeronimoalende]

40:29 😢

[@Masilya111]

Damn..

[@jankoncsol6457]

Thank you TB for providing insight, entertainment, and protecting us all through your professional career. Your work has shaped the world of video games, and your legacy will be with us forever.

[@max8orient]

God dammit, I found this in my "For inspiration" bookmark page. So many feelings.

[@avlaenamnell6994]

may he return in glory.

[@slayer2450]

Man, rewatching these old videos do bring back memories

[@ZealofSparta]

Pyre is on sale on Steam for $7.99 right now for those interested. RIP John your reviews have swayed so many of my game purchases in a positive way with these WTF videos.

[@EdwardViaTomato]

I just got around to playing this game (after being backlogged for a decent while), and it was amazing. Probably my favorite Supergiant game now, and that's no small complement. Really amazing characters that I really felt for. I hope it's ported to the Switch so I can buy it again.

[@Largentina.]

Did the exact same thing. It's definitely my favorite Super Giant game and it's probably in my top 3 along with Xcom 2 and Dusk.

[@ubahootah]

Finally decided to play Pyre this week, and Supergiant has a sale. Fell in love about 3 hours in, and saw TB had a video on it. It's been over a year but it still sucks to not have wtf is in my sub box :(

[@desmanostrikes5644]

Say “Hi” to Hades, Persephone, Cerberus and Zagreus for us okay?

[@bbull71]

omg, i miss him so much. Hope he is in a much much better place

[@jameswood5357]

Rest in peace John

[@RimshotKiller]

Would have loved to hear his views on Hades...

[@darkmirror21]

Pyre is literally 75% off on steam right now. And this just happened to come by my recommendations. Thanks TB, your videos are still helping us even years later...god, i miss reviews like this.

[@dedale2610]

Shit. Years ago I simply skipped the end of the video. I shouldn't have. Wherever you are John, your are dearly missed.

[@thedayisyoung6460]

Godspeed, John Bain. Go to glory.

[@abzhuofficial]

"Every soul shall taste death" :(

[@mokropsyable]

just randomly got to this video. got tears. fkin love TB

[@siddbastard]

(on the air of bound together) Beloved KZbinr John Bain, told us all about many games, both good and bad. With honesty and humor He stayed true til the end. (I'm happy he got to play Pyre)

[@MrNotteNera]

I miss him a lot..

[@allot5530]

It sad because you can see He’s clearly ill and like and slow down but he tries to push on

[@fahsky]

Miss you TB, ran across this video trying to decide if I want to finally give Pyre a try. I think I watched this when it was first released, but I'm rewatching it because I miss TB & could use his awesomeness in my life right now.

[@heathmccasland]

Rest in peace, John ❤️

[@Macgolden10]

We Love You TB

[@JokerM77]

You would have loved hades my friend, RIP. You are truly missed
