    but,
    Though I really like the combat system, yes it's lacking originality of combat, but it's still good, but It's repetitive game play really wears me off. 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.

    And thank the developers that this game can be beaten in just half a day, so we don't have to endure the repetitive yet focus consuming game play too long to reveal the Great Story.    … Expand

    I was very reluctant to buy this game because of the bad reviews, but it paid off. The gameplay is amazing and extremely fun. I would of given it a higher score if there was more diversity in the enemy's, a longer story, and more content such as more customizable weapons and armor. But I highly recommend this game.

    Pretty decent game. The graphics are amazing and the combat is simple but fun. Don't expect too much in depth stuff form it though. The upgrading system doesn't really add anyting to the game or support different playstyles, which is a shame in my opinion.

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

    (spoiler içerir)
    *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.

    Ryse: Son of Rome is hack and slash story of a chosen hero from 3rd person view.

    Story 3.5/5 Our character tells a story of his past. The story is interesting, however I had minor issue about our hero, but it all makes sense at the end. The characters are well done, some moments are predictable. It is a story of good vs evil, so it wasn't much surprising but pleasant nevertheless. The    Ryse: Son of Rome is hack and slash story of a chosen hero from 3rd person view.

    Story 3.5/5
    Our character tells a story of his past. The story is interesting, however I had minor issue about our hero, but it all makes sense at the end. The characters are well done, some moments are predictable. It is a story of good vs evil, so it wasn't much surprising but pleasant nevertheless. The war we will be part of, is between Rome and Britons.

    Gameplay 4/5
    We are mostly fighting with sword and shield, on occasions with scorpion and javelins. There are few times we will command our units and lead them in formation. The slow time events are very important feature and are required to be mastered till the end game, however they're slowing down time so they're easy. Execution kills reward us with health or focus and are valuing our performance which doesn't seem to have huge impact.

    We can unlock various stats and execution animations by gaining experience. I haven't been able to unlock all but most. They make our character stronger.

    I wasn't initially very happy about boss fights but there are few, and the last ones are more challenging. The difficulty feels a bit off on Centurion, if not for bosses I'd say it's pretty easy, hence the time I spent playing it.

    I haven't touched multiplayer, but worth mentioning it exists. Smart and custom matches, customize your gladiator.

    Replay value 3/5
    The game is linear and can't approach even the main objectives differently. It has some collectibles. Chronicles are comics. There are total 39 and our showing some of stories related to characters in game.

    Scrolls are something like personal notes and there are 27. Vistas are nice pictures of places we visited. There is also music in collectibles unlocked.

    The highest difficulty (Legendary) unlocks after finishing game on Centurion (Hard). Game saves on checkpoints and we can replay by chapters as well.

    Graphics 4/5
    Beautiful characters and great animations, cinematics all over the game. Some characters look a bit worse than main ones and enemies are same people, which makes it easy to differentiate their types and how to fight them.

    I must mention that movement made me feel uneasy, and even after disabling the blur motion effect, I had issues, probably caused by simplistic control of character. Console port screams out loud here. Also some colored features trying to hold our hand.

    Camera sometimes does not show close up executions from right angle, so we can not time them right by seeing them but sound helps despite that.

    Hardware requirements?
    Mid and High gaming.

    Apart from some chapters, game ran well, and when it lagged it was only short a not interrupting.

    How many hours?
    5.

    What games are similar?
    Gameplay: Batman: Arkham Asylum.
    Graphics: Dead Rising 4.

    Verdict

    7/10

    It is fast burning fun. No much thinking and a lot of action moments with nice cinematics, decent story, and easy overall difficulty. I liked they added some extra touches to collectibles.

    Combat gets a bit repetitive but it serves us some new features here and there, linear levels don't give this game much replay value and there's not really much to prove since game's pretty easy. Especially after we figure out how to beat bosses and time attacks.    … Expand

    Начав прохождение, я сразу же понял, что в игре присутствуют как блестящие достоинства, так и заметные недостатки. В игре великолепные графика и анимация, и это неудивительно, ведь разработкой занималась студия Crytek, подарившая миру Crysis, игру, которая некогда привнесла графический некстген в игровую индустрию. Некоторые анимационные детали поражали. В одном моменте главный герой потягивает носом, но делает это аккуратно, будто прочищая его, с соответствующей анимацией и звуком к ней. Такое внимание к деталям не может не радовать. Этому прекрасно аккомпанирует постановка драк и в целом кат-сцен. В какие-то моменты ты можешь забыть, что играешь в игру жанра экшен. Также все это дополняет довольно крепкий сюжет, который может и не заслуживает Оскар, из-за некоторых предсказуемых частей, но тем не менее может удивить и заинтересовать игрока.
    Но, к сожалению, не обошлось и без недостатков. Оптимизация удивила и огорчила, ведь игре 2014 года не престало проседать до 30 ФПС на сборке из Ryzen 2600, 2070 Super и 16 ГБ ОЗУ. И вторым минусом, лично для меня, стала боевка. К 20-30 % игры ты практически идеально научишься блокировать, отражать, бить и наносить финальные удары, но проблема в том, что остается еще 70% прохождения, во время которых экшен моменты уже не могут привнести ничего нового.    … Expand

    - ... but the whole experience is quite short and the replayability is, however, not so high
    - The plot, despite the good narration, is not particularly deep or original and also has some holes
    - The main characters are poorly deepened during the story, notwithstanding the optimal individual design and the good voice acting
    - Gameplay repetitiveness and little variety in almost any aspect of the game
    - Alternates epic moments and situations to almost banal ones

    Overall Verdict

    7.5: Technically solid and with a few game modes, for both single and multi player, Ryse: Son of Rome is a good and absolutely entertaining game.
    Even though not advisable at full price given the overall experience, the game is capable of giving great satisfaction and excitement to all action games lovers thanks to its pace, its immediacy and its visuals. With a thicker plot it could have been a small gem.
    Interesting online component (it does remind me of Spartacus Legends) but already poor of players. Worthy in Co-op with a friend.

    PC Optimization as of 25/11/2016

    The game is absolutely playable and, despite the demanding requirements, is totally solid in the whole structure. The multiplayer works properly but it should have more online options. All in all a well optimized game.    … Expand

    A game that needs more credit as it's not played enough. I honestly loved this game and it truly had the potential to become great.

    I had a lot of fun playing the campaign for this game. It wasn't very challenging and it was visually pleasing. The game looks and feels amazing. I had frame drops and you definitely need a good PC to run this to max or maybe the developers have    A game that needs more credit as it's not played enough.

    I had a lot of fun playing the campaign for this game. It wasn't very challenging and it was visually pleasing.

    The game looks and feels amazing.

    I had frame drops and you definitely need a good PC to run this to max or maybe the developers have failed at optimizing the game.

    The story feels great and for the first time playing as a Roman Centurion/General, it felt amazing. I loved to see bits and pieces of military strategies used, was repetitive here and there, but overall it is a game you have to try out before anything else.

    I recommend playing Ryse without a doubt.    … Expand

    Apesar de ser curto e muito simples, eu aprecio a experiência que esse jogo transmite. Os gráficos continuam incríveis, 8 anos depois.

    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.
