unlabelledView post →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 🤗
unlabelledView post →I have to bring up Ryse for this, I'm not sure this is necessarily a bad game, but I literally don't remember playing it and yet I have the achievement on Xbox for finishing it
unlabelledView post →Ryse Son of Rome is def a very pretty game.. But damn i don't like the camera being this close. #RyseSonofRome
unlabelledView post →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...
unlabelledView post →Finally I can play #RYSE! Last time I tried to run it, my PC couldn't handle it. I can't believe this is a 2013 game. It looks amazing and the combat is fun!
unlabelledView post →i admire the game industry's commitment to remaking Ryse: Son of Rome endlessly
unlabelledView post →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!
unlabelledView post →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.

unlabelledView post →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)
unlabelledView post →I managed to keep my Summer sale budget under a fiver. I got more Hexcells, as I loved the first game; someone on here recommended Black Forest, which looks intriguing; and of course, Rygar! Sorry, Ryse: Son Of Rome! Time to Ryse to the occasion and finally start acting like a Man! #blutoid

unlabelledView post →Ryse: Son of Rome is such a banger game tbh
unlabelledView post →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.
unlabelledView post →That's That! Turns out that Ryse: So of Rome is still amazing to play! Crytek did an awesome job with it, and they should proud. I hope they make another game like it at some point! We raided @speckario.bsky.social afterwards! See you all tomorrow! #Vtuber #Twitch

unlabelledView post →Finished a playthrough of a random game on gamepass Ryse Son of Rome. Combat was good although a little repetitive, but a solid linear game that follows the step of Marius Titus and his ascension to dominance of Rome
unlabelledView post →🌱 Gamer since: 2 or so 🌱 First system: 2600, NES, & SNES 🌱 Last: Series X 🌱 Main: Series X 🌱 Fav: Wii U (yes really) 🌱 Fav. dev: Creative Studio III 🌱 First game: Circus Atari or Mario Kart 64? 🌱 Fav. game: Sonic Adventure 🌱 Least fav. game: Ryse, Son of Rome 🌱 Graphics or frames: depends which game
unlabelledView post →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
unlabelledView post →I was so mad when I finished Ryse and it turned out to be an episode of The Outer Limits that I had literally just watched Decent game otherwise
unlabelledView post →www.nuclearhog.farm Genuinely, I need to say this out loud and mean it. Star Fox Adventures is a better game than Ryse: Son of Rome. I'm playing the former today. Let's head back to Dinosaur Planet!
unlabelledView post →Ryse: Son of Rome for $3.50 on Steam! The Cinematic Action Adventure Game from the developer of OG Far Cry, Crysis, The Climb, Robinson: The Journey and Hunt: Showdown! No Kinect, No Problem!
unlabelledView post →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.
unlabelledView post →Game 46: Ryse: Son of Rome I liked it quite a bit. 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

unlabelledView post →www.nuclearhog.farm Returning to my curiosity sating adventure, the XBOX1 launch game Ryse: Son of Rome was ludicrously cheap and I remember it looking and generally receiving as pretty mid. So... Mid-Week Mid-Game time. What the fuck even is this game?

unlabelledView post →Checkout your Xbox Story. www.trueachievements.com/my-xbox-story/ I like that my 1st Xbox One achievement is from Ryse: Son of Rome. That game deserved a bit better reception. Over 350 hours of State of Decay 2 😅 33% of my gaming is turn based or RPG. Very on brand. That percentage is higher now.

unlabelledView post →www.youtube.com/watch?v=oBoK... Ryse: Son of Rome- Can my mini-review here just be *makes jerk-off gestures*? No? OK so this is the game that had the unfailable QTE scandal. It seems to be made by an executive who saw 300 and didn't think it had enough white supremacy porn and hated that there were
unlabelledView post →Just finished Ryse: Son of Rome. Very nice to look at but def not as much fun to play. Felt like QTE the game and some fights were just really annoying. Not a long game so didn’t overstay its welcome.
unlabelledView post →I finished Ryse: Son of Rome on my Xbox One. An astoundingly beautiful game considering its age. Sure, it's linear, and fairly short, but man did I enjoy the bloody carnage of it. Considering you can pick it up for like $5 I think it is well worth it.
unlabelledView post →Anyway. Spec Ops: The line and Ryse: Son of Rome are the same game, with different skins, but the same experience. Play them both, you won't be able to disagree.
unlabelledView post →After the Gladiator hype, of course I installed Ryse: Son of Rome. This is the first time I've seen it on PC and... how is this game 11 years old?!
unlabelledView post →Do you remember Ryse: Son of Rome? It was an Xbox One launch title that was poorly received despite its incredible graphics and enjoyable gameplay. The game was massively overhated upon release by the masses, and it has never truly gotten the justice and recognition that it seriously deserves.
unlabelledView post →Every time I saw the game name I confused it with Ryse: Son of Rome, and it was so confusing that I have had to google both those games pretty much every time you streamed it lol
unlabelledView post →ryse kinda goes!!! in a stupid way i have a weakness for that particular kind of shiny-but-hollow console launch game, and Ryse is one of the purest
unlabelledView post →We need a Ryse Son of Rome sequel We also need a Ryse Son of Rome style AOS game where you play as Iden hacking and slashing through armies of Orks and Khorne. And yes I specifically name Iden because like my boy Marius he’s also voiced by John Hopkins. One of the best voices out there.

unlabelledView post →I played a ton of Ryse: Son of Rome. Mostly the co-op battle arenas, which might have well been an oversight in that game
unlabelledView post →my partner had grabbed a few Xbox One games from secondhand shops and one of them was a EU copy of Ryse: Son of Rome a friend had pointed out that it might be region-locked, so I tried it in my Xbox One S and after a bit of an install, the game booted just fine. what a relief, honestly.
unlabelledView post →first person in recorded history to name of Ryse Son of Rome as their favorite game
unlabelledView post →But also yeah, im a shameless graphics whore and story game fan so admittedly a game like this has more value to me than for most. But it is really funny comparing this to a game like Ryse son of Rome, wich had some similar themes and iconography(in parts). Yet these games have way better combat.
unlabelledView post →My brain compels me to try and guess what game this is and I'm gonna say Ryse Son of Rome
unlabelledView post →I'm more of a Roboquest guy I like the style of Roboquest more, the OST even, the whole gameplay loop and replayability, and mods are slowly but surely being made after Ryse Up announced they're stopping dev on the game
unlabelledView post →Get a Xbox One for one game lol Ryse: Son Of Rome Why not on PlayStation
unlabelledView post →Damn I didn’t know Ryse: Son of Rome still looked this good. I’ve never been an Adoring Fan of the game, but she’s a looker
unlabelledView post →Ryse. That was my first Xbox One game. Visuals were amazing at the time.
unlabelledView post →A firm favourite here at PWH HQ, Ryse: Son of Rome is a visceral action game from the creators of Crysis that explores themes of vengeance, honour, and imperial decay through the eyes of a Roman soldier turned hero.
unlabelledView post →If you've ever played the Xbox game, "RYSE: Son of Rome," you'll recognize this image as the spitting image of Nero! He was just a fat, old, frightened tyrant who ran away jiggling when the city fell, expecting everyone ELSE to die defending HIM. It's true. Life does imitate art, & vice versa.

unlabelledView post →Beaten Ryse: Son of Rome. One of the XBOX One’s launch titles. Back then the graphics of this game looked photorealistic to me. While it still looks very good today, this is unfortunately the only impressive part about the game. The gameplay is repetitive & the story generic.
unlabelledView post →Ryse Son of Rome Can we please get another game like this? Or just more games in the Ancient Roman era? Please? I adore this game.🙏🏽
unlabelledView post →Ryse: Son of Rome is a cult classic for Xbox gamers, so we put together a big retrospective on Pure Xbox I played Ryse for the first time this year, and I'm flabbergasted to why we don't have a sequel in the works. 📽️ Listen to our history lesson: youtu.be/nxZtlD_8qI4?...
