September has come and gone like a quirky caravan of exiles drifting across a brilliantly colored backdrop. For the September episode of our Game of the Month Club podcast, we played Pyre from Supergiant Games. Olivia picked this one-of-a-kind “action role-playing sports video game.” Listen in to find out who loved the fast-paced sports aspect of the game, who couldn’t stop talking about the original story setting and artwork, and who had to get their blood pressure checked from all the pyre-scorching, orb-running action.

As always, THERE ARE TONS OF SPOILERS IN THIS PODCAST! So if you haven’t played Pyre yet, give a try, then come back and give us a listen. And make sure to add your comments below to keep the conversation going!
