    I understand all the bad reviews regarding this game. It is very very linear, shallow combat, and repetitive combat ( and the glance of microtransactions gives me the creeps )

    From the moment it started, when i saw the first scene i knew that i would like it.
    Graphics as expected are sky high when the game comes form Crytek. Production is very very rich, level design in aesthetic not so much in functional way is astonishing throughout the whole game. Atmosphere is very rich and sound and acting are incredible. Very immersing experience. In moment when commander Vitallion comes to Marius and says that hi will provide him a lot of cinematic slow-mo combo that produces a lot of blood and gore and tones of dead barbarians behind him, i knew that i would be a true Roman ;))
    Another thing are animations and armor phyzics while Marius is moving and lip sync is incredible.
    Now i know that all those pluses that i mention are regarding the form not the matter, but that combat was not so bad after all, reviewers were too harsh, than every now and then it breaks the pace with formations and managing scorpions and giving orders to archers.
    I found story interesting enough, even if predictive I was thrilled.
    And to mention , this gorgeous game ran on my gtx 770 2 gb without supersampling almost all the time in 60fps while preety ugly ( comparing to this )The Evil Within gives me the hick ups.
    I give this game 9/10    … Expand

    Graphics and voice are amazing, combat is well done. The game is repetitive, yes, but also short enough for the repetition not to become a bore. Two evenings well spent.

    Great graphics. Good plot. Good characters. Great animations. Great combat but it gets a bit repetitive but it is so great looking that you would still look at those animations a thousand times. For a sequel we would need more variation in combat without ruining the great feedback and power of each blow and more enemies 3d models.

    Well, though mostly dislike it, I personally think it's quite a good game...especially the graphics..the control a bit confusing though, but this game has a good campaign overall..
    i guess if the developer make it more serious like they did with Crysis, it would boom and loved even more.

    I enjoyed this game a lot. I have heard a lot complains of fighting system, but in my opinion it is close to the perfect. Since it is Roman soldier with sword and shield he can't do much more what he already does in this game. Story and graphics are amazing and gameplay is good. Campaign is too short and there is none re-play value. I would suggest to buy this on sale, but not for full price.

    Love this game, something different from usual FPS and 3rd person game. Most games have same/similar story and can be boring. People do say that Ryse is repetitive but are not all the other games repetitive? E.G shooting enemies in different maps. People are annoyed because of short campaign but like all of the crytek games have short campaigns.

    ONLY thing that could be better, in my opinion, is skill trees and execution upgrade. Feels kinda irrelevant.

    Oh yes, and "on the fly" booster selection is awesome gimmick.

Running the game maxed out on a GTX970 is pure orgasm. The gameplay is admittedly simple, but still thigh and reactive. The shield wall formation portions are something new and very nice, but for the rest I agree it's missing some diversity. The finisher moves executions are probably the worst part of the game. While the animations are very nice and diverse, the slow-motion/stop others enemies from moving and press the correct corresponding color button get old very fast. This is the only reason why the game did not get 10/10. If this is a glance of what the future of video game is, things are looking quite bright ahead!

    Game is awesome! It has a Batman-like combat system just like Sleeping Dogs, Shadow of Mordor and other new third person games. Graphics are incredible (better than Metro Redux) and plays with +30 FPS on R7 260x + i5 4430. The story is interesting, the action is really immersive and intense and the soundtrack really sets the mood.

    I was trying a bunch of games tonight on my new gtx 1080 and this is the one I enjoyed the most. I think it would be great to have an option so it's a bit less violent (blood, sound) but otherwise the graphics are nice and the combats are fun, so far. At full price, I can understand the bad reviews for 6 hours of campaign but for 10-20$, I think the game deserves at least a 7.

    The game features superb graphics I caught myself looking at some of the vistas for some time. It a dynamic combat system based on attacks and executions similar to games like Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor or - to some extent - Dying Light. But the comparison ends there as Ryse does not have the sandbox mode that the aforementioned games have.

    In general the gameplay is smooth and fun on PC and I would consider it as a good port. You cannot map controls but since you really only need 7 keys (four movement keys, dodg, block and execute) the standard WSAD + LShift + E + Space worked fine for me.

    So all in all given the low price of EUR 5, Ryse was a good purchase for me and I recommend it to anybody who loves this type of game. However I can totally understand people who bought the game for full price rating it lower or even giving it sub 5 rating if their expectations were much higher.    … Expand

    Difficulty: Centurion

    When I first started this game, I was already amazed by the power of CRYENGINE, I've always known the engine's capabilities and it's reputation, but Ryse: Son of Rome looked visually absolutely stunning! The animations, camera movements, lighting..everything felt lifelike, which gave me an immersed feeling while playing. The combat however was a little repetitive, though the executions looked awesome and had a 300-like style, it felt very repetitive because of the same way you have to deal with enemies and the same way you kill them over and over again, this game is very focused on it's combat but I think that could've been done better. The story however is a big plus for me, I always get attracted to games with a good story and this is certainly one of them, I agree however that some characters could've been better developed as in that we know very little of them while we'd like to know more. Aside from that the overall storyline was really great and felt like I was truly a Roman. The only thing I do not like is the fact that everything is linear and scripted, no dynamic changes into the story or environment. Would've loved to explore more of Rome in this game, especially with those stunning visuals.

    Pro's:

    Beautiful environments powered by the stunning visuals and audio of CRYENGINE
    Amazing storyline
    Lifelike and immersive cinematics and cutscenes
    Time setting and location

    Cons:

    Repetitive combat
    Short campaign (would've liked to see more)
    Undeveloped characters
    Everything is linear and scripted

    Conclusion:

    Ryse: Son of Rome is certainly a game worth playing with stunning looking visuals and lifelike cutscenes & cinematics. The story is very good with the feel of being an actual Roman, though the campaign is very short and linear, it is very enjoyable as well. The combat feels a bit repetitive and not much variety in both enemies and kill actions. I would recommend this game for people who love the Roman history, along with some action, a good story and amazing visuals.    … Expand

    Ryse is a story driven third person, action adventure game with a heavy focus on melee combat.

The in-game facial expressions are the best I've ever seen, when you're fighting enemies you can see the fear in their eyes, and the pain on their face as you kill them, it's really amazing. The cut scenes are also really well done, and the little cinematics are great as well but I would have liked more of them.

    To go along with the top notch visuals the audio is also really top tier, with quality voice work throughout. The characters are really brought to life by these exceptional performances and the whole game feels like a well made film that you're directing.

    Gameplay wise it's solid as well, you have your standard weak attack, strong attack, block and dodge. What makes the combat so great are the slow motion execute moves, they're absolutely brutal with limbs flying off all over the place, and swords being plunged where they shouldn't be plunged. They're glorified QTE's with the enemies glowing either yellow (y) or blue (x) but you don't care because they're so satisfying. There's a unique mechanic where you can gain either health, XP, focus or damage when performing an execute move depending on which one you select (can be changed freely with the D-pad if you use a controller).

    The one area the game falls is the performance, it's not optimised well at all. I spent a lot of time on Google trying to find fixes and optimal settings and even when using them the game still dropped frames fairly often, massively so in a couple of areas. It was not uncommon to go from 100fps to 20 - 30fps for a split second. I managed to mostly eliminate these huge drops with a little tweaking, but nothing I did removed the small dips.

    The next time this is on sale I would highly recommend buying it, it's only 6 - 7 hours worth of content so bear that in mind, it's maybe not worth £25 but it's definitely worth the £8 I paid for it.    … Expand

    I am delight of this game! The masterpiece of game industry has come! Impressive! So good. I haven't gone it at all but almost. The script looks like the Hollywood's film. Good slasher and interesting as well.I don't understand people who write that the game has bad gameplay, short, etc. Can't, just can't put this game lower than 10.

    Ignore os críticos e compre esse jogaço e lute pela Glória de Roma!!!

    I seriously cant understand the low score. Game is 10/10 gorgeous! As for the gameplay: AMAZING and addictive! Only downside i can find is: Not long enough! It has for about 10/15 hrs of gameplay WITH decent replayabilty. A serious 9/10 you can rarely find! Performance: Really well optimized on 4770k, GTX 780. Which is my setup= ran WITHOUT any problem on    Absolutely GOTY!

All that may be kind of true, but, this game was not made with the purpose of giving awesome combat, immersive open world or history lessons; this tgame is not even a game, is a film about a DIFFERENT Rome in which you can interact. Yes the Emperor is called Nero and Boudica existed, but apart from that everithing is part of another reality (Armors, characters, elephants in Britain, legend of Damocles...). I really enjoyed the game and its plot, full of great interpretations, good cutscenes and better dialogues.
    It has also some cons though, almost all the enmies look the same, there's very few variation on their looks, and the fact that you cannot customize the controls is quite annoying. To sum up , if you play this game dont expect too much liberty or historical accuracy, you're playing a fiction film!    … Expand

    What is great about Ryse: Son of Rome, it's graphics. It is extremely cool when we're talking about graphics. You will see high-quality textures, good lighting, etc. I was amazed with quality, really. Moreover, there's an interesting plot and pretty good gameplay. Recommended, but remind that it's only for one completing.

The intro is fine but a lot of times thats to create ambiguity and you feel curious but this game didn’t do a great job of peaking my curiosity. I kept playing because the combat seem fun and eventually the story did intrigue me but it did not get its hooks into me initially.

    To boil the story to its most simplistic, it ends up being a boiler plate revenge story. Which I found to be incredibly disappointing, you’re in Ancient Rome but you don’t really take advantage of it. Its a story that could fit in almost any era and thats a bummer.

    What ended up carrying this game for me personally was its combat. Its not a combat that you want to engage in for a long time but for the games 7-8 hours, its the perfect amount of time to have enjoy the combat but not get sick of it. The combat really kind of reminded me of Shadow of Mordor, its very mashy and beat em’ up where you attack, counter and then go back to attacking. Eventually you wear down the enemies to the point where you can finish them off with a special kill move. The animations took a little longer than you would want but atleast there were quite of few different killing animations so atleast they felt somewhat fresh.

    I did enjoy my time with the game, this is one of those games where I bought this game for cheap and enjoyed it. If I spent $60 on the game, I would probably have a different outlook on this game. It definitely wasn’t worth the $60 but if you can get it under $20, its not a bad game to sit down and play through some weekend.    … Expand

It’s a basic hack and slash with a decent Single player and Co-op modes, with good replay ability in the co-op mode if you play with a friend, and unlike the Xbox version there’s no micro transactions.

Каково жеКогда узнал, что Crytek выпустила игру Ryse: Son of Rome про древний Рим, то очень удивился. После фар края и крайзисов вдруг: во первых игра от третьего лица, во вторых слэшер, ну скажу так не совсем то, что я привык видеть от Crytek! Очень захотелось посмотреть, но в 2013м году игра оказалась эксклюзивом XBox One. Пришлось ждать до 2014го, когда состоялся выход на Windows 10. Каково же было моё удивление, когда игра выдала, на моём "двухъядерном монстре" GeForce GTX 295, 15 кадров в секунду на самых низких настройках! Ёлки, пришлось ждать ещё почти год до покупки GTX 960. И вот на этой карте игра раскрылась на все 100%!
    Ну, что можно сказать. Красота неимоверная (только на самых высоких настройках), картинка сочная, стильная и плавная, Crytek всё таки. Анимация на высоте, многим современным играм до такого расти и расти!
    Боевая система не совсем обычная, чем то похожа на боёвку из Batman: Arkham Asylum. Все удары завязаны на четыре, разноцветные кнопки. По началу непривычно, но когда я привык.......на экране творился какой то кровавый хаос, кишки, головы, зубы, отрубленные ноги, руки, огуречик, разлетались в разные стороны! Короче красота!!! Только есть одно условие: играть надо только и исключительно на геймпаде от Xbox 360, у меня к счастью такой был. Кто не играл, мой совет: ни каких клавиатур! Игра просто потеряет 70% своего очарования. Скорее всего низкие оценки связаны именно с тем, что в Ryse: Son of Rome пытались играть на клаве или на другом джойстике. Даже не пытайтесь! Это тоже самое, как если бы какой нибудь Maserati GranCabrio заправить дешёвой соляркой и удивляться: "А чой то он ни едит не хрена, а?"
    Теперь о сюжете. Ну меня он просто порадовал. В меру драматичен, есть элементы интриги, предательство, месть.
    Спойлер.
    Что самое главное нам дадут всё таки отомстить, а не как в давешнем The Last of Us Part II! При том в этой игре мы играем за настоящего мужика, а не за трансвестита, девчонку, или бесполую бабищу! Кстати дадут набить морду страшной тетке! Теперь таких игр не делают. Никакой толерантности!!!
    Игра не такая уж длинная, но захватывает достаточно большой промежуток времени. Надоесть не успевает. Есть элементы прокачки, но совсем не замороченные, вполне хватает до конца игры.
    Чего в игре нет так это открытого мира, она сугубо линейна, хотя может это даже плюс. Вокруг тебя всегда, что то происходит и ты всегда в центре событий.
    Ещё один плюс, это конечно полная локализация, иногда есть рассинхрон с губами, но в целом очень качественно.
    Даже не знаю, почему ставлю ей не высший бал, наверное из за врагов. Они какие то однообразные. По сути дикари-британцы и гладиаторы в конце. Хотелось бы побольше мистики, что ли!
    Жаль, что игра получила достаточно холодный приём. Может в 2014м, мир ещё не был готов к таким экспромтам Crytek? К сожалению сиквел ждать не приходится. А жаль!    … Expand

The story of the game is very interesting about the Roman Empire and architecture with a different story about interesting military and characters, the story of the game is such that the Roman Empire fights the barbarians, the game itself shows what a war is and how spoiled emperors are. I personally liked the characters in the game, because the game shows the story of the characters not only, but also allows you to get used to the character. The game's fighting system is brutally impressive, with so much mechanics and killing animation. The game's graphics look impressive, even on low graphics it looks very nice because the textures don't blend and don't look like PlayStation 1 graphics. The enemies of the game were also fun with a few different soldiers with different skills and tactics, but I wanted more different soldiers with different skills. The music in the game is very great and good, very satisfying in the action of the excitement. In the game you can upgrade your character with certain skills and in the game you can look for an interesting collection, but they will not give you any skill.

    The game is truly awesome and worthy of attention with a fascinating story and architecture, not only but the characters are cool, interesting and the most fighting system and mechanics are very amazing. I would rate this game 9/10.    … Expand

    Возможно, в какой то момент, кто-то из производственного процесса посчитал, что крестьянам будет скучно играть в серьёзное произведение и на кой-то притянули сюда фэнтезийные элементы. В самой игре их мало, но на их основе решили склепать концовку. Концовка настолько плоха, что убивает всю мотивацию и логику. Вырежь ты этих божков, дай персонажам (людям) отвечать за свои поступки, то мы могли бы получить настоящее драматическое произведение о преданности, предательстве и зависти. В место же этого всё переложили на совесть богов. Не буду спойлерить, но концовка поражает своей бессмысленностью. Хоть финал и обесценили, всё же сама игра и практически все её аспекты находятся на высоком уровне.

    Грав тільки в соло. Мені здається що гра занадто явно налаштована під геймпад, камера інколи їздить сама собою. Але завдяки цій грі купив собі контроллер і дуже задоволений.
    Щодо гри- хороша гра про бойовку на мечах, просто, незамислувато, сюжет мені видався цікавим, не захоплюючим дух звичайно, просто цікавий.
    Дуже погано гра оптимізована під ПК, на 1080ТІ і райзені 5-3600х, фпс на    Грав тільки в соло. Мені здається що гра занадто явно налаштована під геймпад, камера інколи їздить сама собою. Але завдяки цій грі купив собі контроллер і дуже задоволений.

    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.
