    a good game with a good idea but poorly executed with some fighting that had potential but are wasted. technically it is the best of xbox one and with a duration of about 7 hours

Porém, o resultado é satisfatório: Gráficos belíssimos, ambientação épica, personagens carismáticos e uma história curta, porém bem desenvolvida. A jogabilidade, por outro lado, é simples e fácil demais, com pouquíssimas combinações se comparado a um Hack'n'slash de renome.
    Pelo preço certo, pode divertir e impressionar aqueles que procurarem um game ''tranquilo'' e ''simples''. Mas não espere nada de ''sensacional'' ou ''memorável''.    … Expand

    Wasted potential. Good graphics. Good ideas. At the beginning cool combat, becomes a chore very quickly. There are microtransactions for skill currency. Leveling system is somehow there but it feels totally unimportant.

    The game Is very good. The graphics are the best, the history Is good. The gameplay is very good for me too. The multiplayer Is adictive.

    Un buen videojuego, gráficos buenos, historia decente, mucha acción, PERO muy repetitiva, es un bucle y acaba llegando a saturar.

    Gráficos excelentes, mesmo em 2021, história impecável e envolvente. Na dificuldade lendária o jogo ficou muito gostoso de se jogar, talvez só melhorarem um pouco o combate com menos quick time event ou adicionando outras formas de realizar as execuções para ter mais diversidade

    Enjoyed playing, enjoyed story, enjoyed hacking limbs from foes. Don't understand why such a low metacritic score?????

    The game looks great, and keeps you going at a nice pace.
    Minus points are that it crashed multiple times on me while playing it. Also, not all things (such as the d-pad keys) are explained very well. And the final boss (not N.) was rather "frustrating".

    Juego de impresionantes gráficos donde se recrea muy bien la época romana, su duración es de unas 8 horas y los combates se hacen algo repetitivos y mecánicos pero en general cumple.

    Купил в 2019, картинка понравилась, много красок, сюжет интересный, подкачала боевая система, но сложность - супер, финальная битва - бомба 10/10

    Juego bastante infravalorado en su momento. Apenas lo jugué y quedé maravillado de lo bien que se ve. La historia es bastante buena y no se diga de su doblaje. El gameplay en mi caso me gustó bastante. Aún sigo sin creer que este juego haya sido de lanzamiento para el Xbox One. Lo recomiendo un montón.

    This was my first Xbox One title - at first, I was really excited. The game does get your blood pumping with the 'hack-and-slash' style, and it's pretty well done for the time. The storyline is very interesting, however the game IS repetitive. The stages are diverse and make it seem like the game has more to offer than it actually is offering, but the gameplay doesn't change throughout,This was my first Xbox One title - at first, I was really excited.

It goes very well, like some kind of movie. And not a bad bitemap, although you are fighting outside. A bit monotonous combat and you can't change weapons.

    I've only played this game in 2020, thanks quarantine! For a game that is 7 years old the visuals really do hold up nicely, Crytek did an amazing job with the lighting of the game. The combat is not challenging and easy to understand the block/parry system, but the executions are very satisfying. The boss fights however are pretty challenging until you work out their routine.

    Ryse Son of Rome was truly a next gen title for Xbox One at the time. Unfortunately, Xbox gamers only seem to like COD and Fortnite. Take this game and put it on Sonys platform and it would be an 85 all day long. I throughly enjoyed it -it was different and we needed different at the start of a that Gen. Definitely one of my favorite Xbox One titles.

    Ryse is truly underrated. The story is very good. The combat is simple, but very visceral. Marius is a awesome character. Even for a launch game, this game holds up very good graphically.

    fighting was fun. graphics were awesome. story had a twist. chopping off limbs, always fun. good variety of combat...
    what it needed was more story development, more cutscenes, so i can be more invested. and maybe longer, more expansive maps. even tho map design is linear, i dont want it to feel linear.
    short game, maybe a few days to beat. it was good for what is was. i dont understand    fighting was fun. graphics were awesome. story had a twist. chopping off limbs, always fun. good variety of combat...

    Ryse is a bit of a marmite game, if you are looking for a great gaming experience that takes forever to perfect then Ryse is not for you. If you are interested in a Roman interactive movie with a solid story line then I’d say give it a shot.

    Ryse: Son of Rome is a really good looking game, but at the same time incredible stupid. Thanks to the graphics and the amount of brutal combat the adventure managed to entertain, at least for a bit. If you find Ryse on sale it can be worth a closer look, but for a full price game it’s a disappointment.
