Cheers for that @Bentleyma! Just thought I'd ask someone who isn't a digital foundry tech nerd who sees every flaw lol (I think the upscaling looks find for example)
Hope you enjoy playing it!

@Fragile yeah I struggled to click with Bastion also. After sticking with it, I did eventually understand the praise though… but Transistor is definitely a bit more instantly gratifying.
@colonelkilgore I had middling feelings about Transistor, and although parts of it were really well done, overall I wasn’t in love with it. The talking sword was pretty annoying and something about his voice performance grated on me and might have ruined a lot of it for me.
Apparently Hades has really upped SuperGiant’s game, but I can’t help but be reluctant.

@Th3solution yeah I’m looking forward to Hades… but I wanted to play the back catalogue first before getting to it. Judging by my feelings about Bastion by the time I finished it and by what I’m thinking about Transistor so far, I think I’m gonna love it.
I do find personal taste so interesting though. I mean, we generally seem to like a lot of the same games but there’ll always be a variance between individuals and maybe the SuperGiant games are a difference for our likes/dislikes. No game is for everyone though… so who knows, I might end up hating Pyre and Hades.
@LN78 No, I never played it, but I heard good things about Pyre too. I never seriously considered it because when I looked into it the description of the game seemed odd. Couldn’t wrap my head around the fictional sport based setting. I need to watch some gameplay to get better idea.
“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.”
@Th3solution I was the same. The gameplay during the sports rituals themselves is terrific fun but it's the personality of the characters and the writing (as is typical with this dev) that shines through. It's really wonderful.
@LN78 as someone who has grown to quite appreciate the SuperGiant gameplay, I’m intrigued to see how they tackle sports. Pyre has always been the SuperGiant game I’ve been least interested in as I generally don’t think much of sports games… my interest has definitely grown though since playing their first two.
Personally I didn't enjoy Bastion all that much, apart from the end game challenge. Loved Hades and am looking forward to getting around to Transistor.
Exactly the same sentiment as Sol regarding Pyre, couldn't get exited around a weird sounding made up sport despite the mostly positive reviews. May have to reconsider depending on how I get on with Transistor.

@colonelkilgore@Sorteddan I don't like sports games either (the odd drunken round of PES at Xmas used to be a tradition, though) but don't let that put you guys off. The best analogy I've heard used to describe the ritual in the game (for that's what it's called) is that it's "fantasy NBA Jam" but it has a much more tactical element to it. A lot of thought has clearly gone into the design because it has that crucial "easy to learn but difficult to master" factor that's often so elusive in these sorts of games. All I can say is you should give it a try if you see it at a price you're happy with. I think I paid fifteen quid for it and I wasn't in the least bit disappointed.
@LN78 yeah I’ll definitely be playing it at some point, I picked all three games up in a sale around the same time that Hades released. I’ll try and remember to tag you once I make a start on it 👍
@colonelkilgore@Jimmer-jammer I am currently playing through Dark Souls Remastered again on a break from/in preparation for more of my Elden Ring playthrough, I just cheesed the Centipede Demon and am now on my way to the infamous Bed of Chaos and then it's only Lord Gwyn to beat before I usher in the dark (I restored the fire on my first playthrough) How are your games going? Have you both beaten Elden Ring yet?

@TheBrandedSwordsman hey buddy been a while… yeah I finished it around two weeks ago. Phenomenal game! I played the PS4 version, so am looking forward to playing the PS5 version in a year or so.
Hopefully you won’t be suffering any burn-out going straight into Elden Ring off of the back of your latest Dark Souls run… can’t wait to here what you think.
@Thrillho well after i finished playing the witcher 3 like a year and a half ago (the base game i mean) i felt like i want more, so i went on and bought hearts of stone as well as blood and wine, started playing other games (you know how it's), and now when i felt like i need to get back to the witcher i thought i'd start with hearts of stone first, but after finishing it the plan is to start blood and wine.
@TheBrandedSwordsman Hey man! No, I’m well over 100 hours now and still slowly chipping away. Haven’t played much the last few days though, been sick as a dog. Hope you can enjoy the game, it’s absolutely fantastic!
