Seriously, kudos to everyone who worked on it.

Ok that's not all, I want to know what they've done to get the game to looks so incredible. It looks like a lot of what Guilty Gear does for 2d-style 3d but for a game that is 80-90% cutscenes and going after less anime and more superhero tv show. And almost all of it looks *perfect*.

I'll die on the hill that Pyre has the best soundtrack (followed by Transistor). More varied stylistically than the other soundtracks, and the insanity that is 9 different versions of "Never to Return" covering every team's theme music.

Totally get why the game isn't for everyone though.

The comments on this article make my head spin.

Yes, activating non-tesla chargers is a stupid awful experience involving too many goddamn apps and failed sessions.

And that's entirely the result of cost-cutting bean counters who couldn't figure out how to reliably build a fucking vending machine.
