More about Pyre
Critics scored it 82. Players sit 8 points higher at 90 percent, which usually means a game that plays better than it reviews.
6 of the 651 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to October 2026. That is fewer refunded reviewers than 7 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 2,872 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 2,071 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 63 percent of the 742 reviews written there were positive, against 90 percent overall, and those are 9 percent of everything written about it.
