This is a great game for the casual gamer like myself. Awesome graphics and controls in my opinion! If you own a Xbox One you should own Ryse: Son of Rome!

I really enjoyed playing through this game. The campaign is a little short but the graphics are incredible and the story was interesting. Definitely a great buy for the price!

"A beautiful but weak experience While taking out a group of barbarians, the feeling of playing as this unstoppable warrior might feel remarkable. As time goes on, this Roman soldier reveals that he has some big flaws. While Ryse: Son of Rome is visually stunning, it lacks in gameplay and being fun.

If you want to get that "this is a new gen" feel, then you need to buy this game. I've seen that reviewers say the combat is repetitive, but it does not get old. If you've ever watched Spartacus on Starz, this will feel very familiar.

Ryse: Son of Rome is a video game based on two core pillars: quick time events and wanton slaughter. Players take on the role of Marius Titus, a Centurion in the 14th Legion, and with him fight their way through a linear story populated by barbarian-filled skirmishes, chopping off arms and slashing...

Ryse looks spectacular, as you'd expect from Crytek, and the basic combat is extremely satisfying - even if it doesn't evolve much over the game. Meanwhile, the Gladiator Mode gives the game longer appeal, but is poisoned by randomised, monetised, loot.

Well; it looks great; The combat basics are great; Excellent; well-acted story

Combat doesn't evolve; Cheap instakill moments; Elephants

Ryse isn't the sharpest pilum in the cohort. This is a game in which Boudica proudly rides an elephant through the streets of Rome, where legionnaires smack arrows out of the air with their swords, that recasts Greek myth Damocles as a Roman version of Candyman and assumes that barbarians spent...

Brutal combat is surprisingly satisfying and engaging; especially at higher difficulties; Visceral and gorgeous; both graphically and artistically; Silly story delivered with compelling gravitas; Enjoyable cooperative multiplayer - enjoyed in moderation

Crushing lack of enemy variety leads to enormous repetition; Upgrade and progression system is inappropriate for a 6-8 hour game; Dumb as a bag of squid; Long load times (why did we have to install it?

Ryse: Son of Rome has been one of the most talked about next generation launch titles, mainly because of the gorgeous visuals powered by the new Xbox One . Now that I've had the chance to pick up a controller and play the game, there is the unfortunate realisation that graphics alone aren't enough...

A gorgeous game that truly shows you what the next generation looks like; The story is an interesting mix of Roman mythology and a hero's quest; If you're looking for mindless violence; you won't be disappointed

Combat can become repetitive due to limited moves, The path forward may be tough to follow due to a confusing arrow system, The game only offers a challenge if you refrain from upgrading your skills; otherwise, you may find it a breeze

Ryse certainly is a game that showcases the visual quality that the Xbox One can produce, as the graphics are stunning at times. Sadly the gameplay is not quite up to the same standard. The timed events can get repetitive in the beginning and you don't really feel as if you are in total control.
