There are booths as far as the eye can see, TV screens displaying a range of video games from AAA titles to the tiniest indies, tabletop gaming sessions left and right and cosplayers stopping every few feet to take photos. Despite all this, Supergiant\u2019s booth had a crowd all weekend, with a long line of people willing to wait an hour or more to get their hands on <i>Pyre<\/i>.<\/p>\n<p>When Supergiant announced its third game just days before PAX East 2016, <i>Pyre<\/i> garnered immediate attention. The studio previously was praised for the beautifully designed role playing games <i>Bastion <\/i>and <i>Transistor<\/i>, and from the outset <i>Pyre <\/i>looked set to continue that tradition. Yes, <i>Pyre <\/i>certainly is pretty, and its action-RPG elements and story are worth your attention, but it\u2019s the unusual fighting system that really makes it memorable in a sea of excellent PAX games. <a href=\"http:\/\/mashable.com\/2016\/04\/26\/pyre\/\">Read more&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>More about <a href=\"http:\/\/mashable.com\/category\/pax-east\/?utm_campaign=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&amp;utm_cid=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial\">Pax East<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/mashable.com\/category\/supergiant-games\/?utm_campaign=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&amp;utm_cid=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial\">Supergiant Games<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/mashable.com\/entertainment\/?utm_campaign=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&amp;utm_cid=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial\">Entertainment<\/a>, and <a href=\"http:\/\/mashable.com\/gaming\/?utm_campaign=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&amp;utm_cid=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial\">Gaming<\/a><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/Mashable\/~4\/6EZ-HHoZSto\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s hard to stand out on the PAX East show floor.
