Launched from the gates of Crytek, the latest DLC pack for Ryse: Son of Rome, “Mars’ Chosen Pack” is ready for your viewing pleasure. [Details within]
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?
Looks decent to bad its on Xbox One.
Doesnt look like its gonna sell me an XB1 yet :(
Thank you crytec. New map, new executions. Going to work through this with my nephew after he finishes his home work.
Having bought Ryse myself, I'm really glad that I never opened the wrapper. This game feels like it's only good for the collector's value; selling it back to that 13 year old kid in twenty years is the only value I can find in the title.
The game looks fantastic, but it's a shame the gameplay is so monotonous. Could have been a contender if it just had more depth. Other games in the genre like God of War and DmC the character has lots of different abilities and fights very varied enemies.
I watched through the whole game on youtube of Ryse and I was stunned at how single-minded the game was. Leading up to the launch I was considering getting an XboxOne for Ryse alone but there were also many warning signals..
