Ryse: Son of Rome is a Xbox One launch day title that is exclusive to Microsoft’s new gaming console. This brutally violent and highly detailed game is from Crytek, and it features action-adventure gameplay not too dissimilar from God of War, or the Batman: Arkham games. I was lucky enough to get some hands-on time with the game at a private Xbox 101 event held after hours during the kick off of E3 week, and I must say that it’s definitely shaping up to be a great launch title for the One.
From underrated Xbox One launch titles to absolute emperors of the strategy genre, history heads will love these games based around Ancient Rome.
Ryse was awesome, i have no idea why it wasnt recieved well and why we havnt seen another, Rome conquered so much, you could take the action anywhere, and it looked great when xbox one came out, now would be even better.
Ryse: Son of Rome was an Xbox One launch title that has been left to collect dust, but Crytek should set aside Crysis and give Ryse another shot.
I really liked the original Ryse but Crytek doesn't have the funds. The mismanaged their properties and let EA raid them with Crysis for the duration of their relationship. Right now they are working on Crysis 4, I doubt they can spare resources to work on a Ryse sequel.
I recently bought it for the steamdeck and have to say... 60fps is a game changer. I really wished MS had gotten a one x patch or series boost mode option but sadly, nope. Other games that definitely deserve a second chance (esp on steamdeck/pc) are quantum break and sunset overdrive. Both deserved 60fps support on one x / series but you have to go to PC for that.
Rumor has it Crytek had plans for a Ryse 2 but due to the low turnout for XB (at the time) it was shelved. They really should give this another shot. i dont care if its multiplat on PS and XB and PC and Switch... just so long as part 2 gets made.
Game was good enough, not great.
Graphically it was top notch. Still holds well till this day.
Xbox Game Pass Quests recently reset for the month of August. So if you try to collect as many Microsoft Rewards points as possible, there's a new set available now.
This is not what I would call value for money spent. They give you quests in liveservice games to get you "re-engaged" with the monetization schemes or to get you hooked or so you at least spend some extra on skins and loot boxes. Then they dole out paltry points after you have already paid extra for whichever liveservice within a liveservice that you are already paying for. My worry is people can't actually be that stupid to fall for this, can they?
Awomesome! Sounds like this game is turning out good.
Go Xbox-one.
As soon as I saw that they made QuickTime events a central part of the game it was a failure in my eyes. Whoever thought this was a good idea needs to be taken to the wood shed.
@ wood shed press x to deliver punishment....press y to counter....press x to finish him off
Epic....fail!
looks terrible
this dude is a beast who is driven by revenge, and will do anything to quench the thirst of avenging his family’s murder.
