    Crytek planned 'Ryse: Son of Rome' as some sort of Xbox 'Assassin’s Creed' with different games in different settings like Japan or Vikings. Sadly, the first game sold not enough copies. www.ign.com/articles/rys...

    Ryse: Son of Rome ✅ 70/76 🏆 Came upon this game randomly on the TL. Beautiful graphics. Okay story. Historical fiction, major emphasis on the fiction part. Extremely glitchy. Huge shoutout to @drewstee.bsky.social for spending several Saturdays playing with me to help unlock some chevos 🤗

    Aww bummer. I really think RaD could've dialed up the good parts of The Order 1886 & dialed down the bad parts if Sony had greenlit a sequel. Same with Microsoft & Ryse. I will always think of them as 2 sides of the same coin: both early-gen, GORGEOUS games w/clear flaws www.ign.com/articles/son...

    Ryse: Son of Rome complete!! Short game, awesome combat, great story, very linear and narrative focused (which I personally really enjoy), and stunning visuals that aged like wine. I couldn’t help but compare it to The Order 1886. Love both games tho!

    I've been criticizing Ryse for it's game design a bit but despite that it's a solid game. People call it a glorified technical showcase because of it's short game duration and graphics that were far ahead of it's time, i think it deserves a bit more credit than that.

    Ryse: Son of Rome | Steam Deck CryEngine is a beast! Seriously cannot believe my eyes. This game is 12 years old and still gives current gen games a run for their money and it’s running on a handheld! (I also miss Crytech naming games with a “Y” in them)

    1/4 Finished Ryse Son of Rome. Solid game from start to finish. I think this game is super underrated because all i always see people say that it's a technical showcase and while yes it's a very cinematic game i think that's undermining what this game really is.

    From what I can tell, this seems largely rooted in their decision to make a more linear cinematic action game (something I guess in the mold Ryse: Son of Rome, Hellblade, Heavenly Sword, etc) rather than something with either an open world or more exploration focused levels

    When Ryse: Son Of Rome came out, it was bad because it was a soulless, repetitive third person stabby game. Now every game is Ryse: Son Of Rome, but you lose stuff when you die, which makes them good allegedly.

Asidefrom the difficulty (some parts were frustrating), a bit of a rehash of Gladiator 1 in the later chapters and a inaccuracy ( the character you fight as a gladiator wasn't born for at least six decades iirc (game was set in the 60s CE) 6.5/10
