It’s been a long road for Ryse, once a Kinect only Xbox 360 title; but you’re not here for a history lesson and that’s good, because Ryse isn’t here to give you one. Ryse manages to display the greatest aesthetics of any Xbox One launch title yet is a let down in almost every other department.
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?
O.U.C.H.
this is old news, but it still stings a little. i remember when ryse was THAT game. THAT system seller...smh
Really? its not the best game but this review is just garbage.
i played up to part were his buddy dies by the barbarian women but noway this game is that bad.
too much fanboy bs.
i just look at the review and all his points are true but to be an 3.5 game means its unplayable buggy mess and ryse is not that.its worth a rent.
This review is clearly console hate or paid for lol
Lmao i really dont think people understand when they release these clearly bull reviews they just look severely bad and very unreliable for future reference. This is a perfect example on why nobody has probably heard of this review site, what a complete joke.
The announcement trailer got me excited about the x-box one.
My hopes/expectations crushed until I saw the the extended gameplay footage :(
As a ps4 owner, I hope they solve the problems of game mechanics and deliver a better experience for gamers.
If I am not wrong, they hired a dude from Santa Monica who was a lead director in God Of War so this is a HUGE step for them...
Crytek delivers amazing graphs but as we know, graphs isn't the only thing developers should focus on.
