    A hack and slash game with a superb story. The game play is linear so it doesn't offer much for replayability. There is a lot of cut scenes so you will feel like you are watching a movie while playing a game. I would recommend waiting until the game is discounted as it's not worth the full price.

    Yes the game is repetitive, but the story is surprisingly good and it is a technical masterpiece which really shows what the Xbox One and PC can do graphically. I enjoyed the game for the story.

    Underrated game. Even at the end of 2018, around 5 years after its initial release, this game is high up there for contenders of best graphics and overall visuals in a video game. Running this game at 4K with a GTX 1060 on max graphics and it looks better than most modern games! The production value of Ryse is nothing short of top-tier, at least in terms of the content that's there. TheUnderrated game. Even at the end of 2018, around 5 years after its initial release, this game is high up there for contenders of best graphics and overall visuals in a video game. Running this game at 4K with a GTX 1060 on max graphics and it looks better than most modern games! The production value of Ryse is nothing short of top-tier, at least in terms of the content that's there. The art style, soundtrack, audio quality, cutscenes and especially the level of detail in the motion capture is impeccable. Despite its relatively short length (the game has 8 levels), it feels like a complete experience and doesn't outstay its welcome. Which brings me on to the other aspects of the game, graphics and production value aside.

    The story isn't particularly innovative in its plot or its execution, but it's certainly not tacked on. It's very straightfoward and well-paced, being mostly aided by its non-standard ancient Rome setting; though admittedly it could've capitalised on this more. The level design is also very bland uninspiring. Sure, there's plenty of collectibles and you probably won't get all of them in one run, but I have never played a game more linear than this one. The world is very small and each level is mostly the same but with different environments. Although this difference is novel in the last couple of levels, mostly it's just a change in scenery and not gameplay.

    This is where Ryse is most heavily criticized: the reptitive and basic gameplay. Whilst I can definitely see where critics are coming from, I also appreciate a simple but rock solid combat system. This game is literally the definition of hack and slash: you have your sword and shield attacks, alternating them in a suitable rhythm (so long as you don't do more than three of the same in a row) to defeat enemies. Of course, you also have the usual defense mechanics of evade and deflect, including parry for some heavy attacks. This is combined with a Batman Arkham style combo system, and genuinely feels satisfying when you have a good rhythm and can clear entire sections without taking any hits in a perfect freeflow. Even when that doesn't happen, the combat system is so unobtrosive that it's difficult to hate it.

    Of course, a game which is almost entirely reliant on combat can't get away with just that. So what makes Ryse different is its heavy emphasis on executions, which are basically a bunch of preset quick-time events that require to press either the sword or shield attack button to finish off your enemies in brutally violent manner. Although there are plenty of these and you unlock more throughout the game with the upgrade currency, towards the end you will inevitably recognise each one of them and can time your presses perfectly; though there are so many including environmental ones that it's never predictable which one you will get.
    Here's where things get really messed up though: if you fail the prompt by either not pressing the button in time or pressing th wrong button, the game automatically ocmplets the execution anyway, with no consequences other than your rating being lower. So the only thing that makes executions satisfying is getting the right button and timing perfect so that you can get a higher rating. What these ratings do? I'm still not sure. Presumably they give you higher XP and credits, allowing you to purchase upgrades more quickly.
    That's right: Ryse does have a very simplistic upgrade system for standard things like damage, health and even XP gain, and executions can grant bonuses on any of these depending on your choice (a system which is again familiar from games like Remember Me). So what else is there? Well, there are some very simple projectiles in the game: spears and spear cannons. However there is no aiming involved: the game automatically does that aiming and you just pull the trigger. This becomes hialriously absurd in the beginning of the last level.

    So, that brings me on to the conclusion. The short version is that Ryse isn't an innovative game, it's very repetitive and the gameplay is about as cookie-cutter as you can get. But in a world of overly complex systems, microtransactions, DLCs and so on, I must say that Ryse is one of the games I've been most impressed by recently. I've always had a soft spot for short, single-player experiences like Remember Me and Mirror's Edge (which are amongst my favourite games). Where it shines is its simplicity: take a historical setting, put a simple combat system in, add a decent story, wrap it around 8 levels and build it with state-of-the-art game engine and you're done.

    TL;DR: It's super-cheap on Steam, I got it for around £2 or £3. Repetitive, but gorgeous and high quality.    … Expand

    1) For today the game is optimized like a trash. 2) Combat system is pretty stupid, because: a) the started combo can be done without players involvement and all that you lose is a combo multiplier - i don't care about multiplier, but care about beautiful combos..., b) boring combos, c) limited combos. 3) Lost my interest for now. We'll see if they can still fix it - pending....

    For an action game, Son of Rome is not on the top of the list: you have just a few combos, one set of weapons, control is a bit clanky and not as responsive as it should, and the auto-aim awful mechanics will make you mad.

    But despite all of this, it is still a pretty funny experience. The graphics are impossible to improve and surprisingly well optimized, character animations achieved with motion capture are a delight to watch and the art direction recreates an spectacularly beautiful ancient Rome. The hard difficulty mode is pretty chalenging and I liked to call it "the realist mode" because you can get killed with just 2-3 hits of a sword.

    The story is pretty entertaining too, the characters have a lot of personality and the voice acting is excellent. Although some people complained about the length of the game, I felt it was just fine.

    Finally, the multiplayer in a game like this is always welcomed!

    If you are a fan of action games, probably you want to wait for this to reduce its price. If you like Roman odysseys and want to have a good, although not unforgettable experience, then you won't be disappointed.    … Expand

    Overall a sold action game. Stunning visually, it has a good story and interesting setting. The action game play starts off fun but it fails to really evolve and can feel repetitive by the end. Worth getting cheap as it is quite short but still worth a play.

    Ryse: Son of Rome amazes with stunning graphics, but the pace of the game and its length doesn't allow a player to enjoy it.

If you like the times of ancient Rome and slicing your opponents this is the game for you. I love actions games and taking a break from BF4 to play such a gem was really nice. Let's be honest, there isn't any other game where you could be a Roman soldier apart from i.e. Total War, which is a different genre. It puzzles me however, why the game is so short, why you can't walk (you almost always run), why you can't kill silently and why the creators didn't develop it further. Because of that, it seems as if the product was not finished. They could have gone so much further, because the world of ancient Rome they created is beautiful. I will never forget the feeling I had when I first saw Colosseum - absolutely stunning! Unfortunately, you don't get much chance to admire the views because everything happens too fast. Also, slicing your opponents becomes boring quite quickly. A player has no choice over his actions and there is no stealth option whatsoever.

    All in all, Crytek created a beautiful game, which is definitely too short. If they developed it further, created alternative choices of events, enabled stealth kills, using tactics and an open world it would be 10/10 for me. (Personally, I would like to see all the elements from Shadow of Mordor combined in Ryse - then it would be perfect.)    … Expand

    This was a short game, but I enjoyed every minute going through its world. The story is engaging and the combat is very satisfying. It does suffer from a few camera problems and the upgrades you get are somewhat lackluster. It did a really good job making you feel like a bad a** roman leader as you command your troops forward. It is a solid 7 that was worth the price I paid on the steam sale.

Fighting mechanics would have been better, but with bloody fatalities, it enjoys you. Top class action and war atmosphere. I do not think this is a bad game, and for powerful machines out there, it's an eye show.

    There is a lot to be desired in the levelling up system (half-baked doesn't begin to explain it's ineptitude), but it's a fun romp with an aesthetic and time period (albeit, stupidly historically inaccurate) that is often not seen in games.

    All, in all, it deserves a slightly better score than the average here, but seeing how you can pick it up for the price of renting a movie, it's definitely worth at least going through the campaign on regular difficulty.

    I remember, at one time, this project was a launch exclusive for Xbox One, and had to convince people to buy a prefix for it. If we consider the game from this side, then of course it is rather weak for a AAA level project, and I would be very upset if I bought it for a full price as a new generation game.

    But, since then 9 years have passed and now the situation has changed somewhat.

    But, since then 9 years have passed and now the situation has changed somewhat. Firstly, the game was very surprised by the graphics. Despite the fact that so many years have passed, it looks great, and in some places even beautiful by modern standards. And what is important, the system requirements are ridiculous, which indicates good optimization. The plot, atmosphere, music, sounds, all this is also very good.There are only complaints about the combat system, because it is as simple as two fingers, and even a small child will quickly figure it out without any prompts. I liked the executions, at the first two levels you admire everyone in general, but by the end of the game, of course, they already get bored.

    In general, if you look at the game well, it seems that apart from the visual, there is nothing in it, but I can’t say that this is a minus. Personally, I wanted a peppy action game for a couple of evenings, and that's exactly what I got, only a good visual and setting as a bonus. And yes, do not take it as a historical game, this is a real representative of the peplum genre that Hollywood has been churning out throughout the last century. Again, for me personally, this is not a minus.

    To sum it up, I understand why the game didn't make a splash on release and now it's hardly remembered. The same thing happened to Sony with Order 1886, both games are like beautiful tech demos with a normal plot, but too simple gameplay. But this is the same case when time has passed, and the game has not become worse, perhaps even better, because now it does not try to be what it was not. All in all, it was a pleasant surprise.

A game that offers it's players different pace will surely be a Win. And that's what this game didn't have. I was hoping this game would feature a camp or base or whatever where you can manage your equipment and choose a region that you are hoping to seize.

    But in the End, it's just an action game that plays one way story that doesn't offer much decision making that actually affect the outcome at some stage of the game.

    I applaud the story, think It Is good for Roman setting game, and quite epic at that. I don't get the impression of so-called god of war wannabe and 300, It's purely a Roman story that topped with very few mythical stuff. That's what I like in this game.

You will find few if any video games on the market more technically impressive than this.

    On the OTHER hand, the combat is shallow and repetitive, there's literally nothing you do in the game but said combat, enemy variety is very low, and the game give you zero freedom. It's so linear and locked into the narrative it's like the Final Fantasy XIII of hack n slash action games.

    So I suppose how much enjoyment you'll get out of Ryse depends on what you personally look for in video games and what you think they should be. Do you like over the top jaw dropping technical presentations and are willing to accept meh gameplay to behold them? Then you absolutely want to play Ryse. Do you loathe and despise linear, cutscene heavy, narrative driven games with QTEs? Then stay far away from Ryse.    … Expand

    *Oyun zaman döngüsü içerisinde, yani farklı zamanları size yaşatıyor ilk başta aklınız karışıyor ama bu durumu anca final sahnesinde anlıyorsunuz. ilk başlarda oynadığınız sahnelerin aslında size finalin nasıl olduğunu söylemesi ve sizin bunu fark edememeniz güzel bir detay (kızın kafasının surlara dikilmesini emretmesi gibi) yani ilk başta hiç anlam verememiştim. durduk yere neron ile niye başbaşayız ve bu sahne neden başka bir yerde yok anlam veremedim. bir nevi kurgu katılmış.ama bu kurgu final sahnelerinde hızlıca geçilmiş. saatlerce oynuyorsunuz ve neden oynadığınız 20 saniyelik bir ara videoda geçiştiriliyor.
    *oyunda bir şey var ki hey maşallah dedirtiyor bu da grafikler.
    arkadaşlar grafikler gerçekten şahane. bazen kendimi romada sanıyorum ışıklar,efektler, ortam gerçekten çok iyi tabi bazen gereğinden bazla kalabalık oluyor ama oyunu oynayan herkes gladyatör sahnelerinin oynandığı arena kısmını beğenmiştir. her yerde en ince detayına kadar uğraşmışlar keşke gta gibi kamera açıcı ayarlanabilseydi ve biz karakterimiz ile beraber çevreyi daha geniş açı ile oynayabilseydik görebilseydik daha güzel olurdu.
    *oyunda özellikle ara sahneler çok güzel değme dizilere taş çıkarır. oyunu geçin ara sahneleri birleştirin dizi diye oynatın. ara sahnelerde oyunun kendi grafiklerinden farklı bir tat var sanki grafik motoru ile yapılmamış da direk çekim yapıp video olarak atmışlar gibi (tam bilmiyorum) ben ara sahneleri çok beğendim.
    *Hikaye gayet güzel. yani çok iyi değil ama bu oyuna göre güzel.lan hiç değilse parasına göre güzel :) tabi bazı yerlerde kopukluklar var. neden kralın oğlu düşman kralını öldürdü anlamadım olay bu kadar basit bir intikam duygusu olmamalı, ayrıca biz savaş bitti ve sıra adamımızın intikamına geldi derken bir anda roma 10 bin asker tarafından işgal ediliyor. ilk işgal aslında ileri zamanı anlatıyorsa romalı veliaht neden düşman kralı niye öldürdü? herşey aslında finale bırakıldığı için karıştırabiliyorum.
    *karakter tasarımı olmamış,aynı karakterler devamlı karşımıza çıkıyor diyorlardı da bu kadar belirgin olduğunu düşünmemiştim, bir kaç modelden ve önemli karakterlerden başka herkes aynıydı, witcher 2 oyununda yüzlerce karakter gördüm tek bir kişi bile biraz olsun birbirine benzemiyordu, lan cüceler bile benzemiyordu burda ise ctrl-v'nin dibine vurmuşlar.oyun nasıl başladıysa öyle bitti.
    *oynanış da olmamış arkadaş. karakterimizi geliştirmemin sonuna ulaşıyoruz yine d bir kaç farklı kesip biçmenin önüne geçmiyor, hani zaten kan gövdeyi daha ilkbaşlarda götürüyor adam yüzbaşı iken de aynı kesiyor general iken de, bir yerden sonra alışıyorsunuz. mesela gears of war oynarken testereli silah ile de aynı burdaki gibi canavarları kesiyorduk ama insanın içinde daha çok kasap gibi kesme isteği uyandırıyordu bu ryse ise bir yerden sonra alışıyorsun ve hiç tat vermiyor. özellikle tam olarak kılıcı sapladığımız an yavaş çekim olup sonrasında hızlı çekime geçiyor ya aklımızı bulandırıyor güzel bir efekt değil.
    *ayrıca boss savaşları artık gına getiriyor. öldürdüm diyorsun hop bir ara sahne en baştan bir daha, hah bu sefer bitti diyorsun hop en baştan bir daha. aynı boss dövüşlerini tekrar tekrar yapa yapa gına geldi. yani bitsede gitsek lan dedim.

    ***
    gelelim tavsiye aşamasına. şimdi ben bu oyunu 7.75 tl gibi komik bir rakama aldım beğenmeszem silerim sonucunda yerli kardeşler birşeyler yapmış. bu firma ülkemize de ilk defa oyun geliştirme konusunda üniversite ile ortaklığa giden ve ülkemizle oyun sektörü daha da gelişsin diye çabalayan bir firma ve batmasını istemem. tamam belki kendileri bir witcher yapamıyor olabilir ama oyunun credits sahnesinde yerli kardeşler yazıyor ya bu fiyata yeter de artar bile.
    "Alın oynayın" sıkılınca girin youtube videolarına hikayeyi izleyin zevk alacaksınız(video serisi çekmeye gerek duymadım nette çok güzel türkçe altyazılı videolar var)    … Expand

    Amazing graphics, superb voice acting, epic settings (when you act as the commander) and the cut-scenes are beautifully animated. Very linear and combat can be repetitive but once your unlock all the combos and executions, it is very fun to watch. Would've liked the world being explored or expanded more, but gotta give credit where it's due to say it's one of the best gladiatorAmazing graphics, superb voice acting, epic settings (when you act as the commander) and the cut-scenes are beautifully animated.

    If you are in the mood to spend a weekend enjoying some graphic ultra-violence with your brain turned off, then Ryse: Son of Rome should make a nice addition to your library, especially if you can find it on a Steam sale.

    It treats players like drooling idiots that expect games to play themselves. [13/2014, p.62]

    Ryse is very simplistic, but at least it’s beautiful to look at. No wonder Microsoft made it a launch title for Xbox One – it is an ideal introduction to slashers. Unfortunately, if you have played other, better-designed games, Ryse will quickly disappoint you.
