To me this game has always been the Force Unleashed for Ancent Rome. Just fun power fantasy. Game is just so epic and cinematic (also its funny to see Romans speaking in British accent while killing Britons).

[@ethanmitchell7479]

i remember watching this entire playthrough on TheRadBrad and then i bought it myself i think it was supposed to be the first game for the xbox one and most of the development was to show how cinematic and fluid the new gen console was going to be but the story is insanely good and by that alone its worth playing and yes the combat is not the best but it starts to get so fluid at points you forget about it 10/10 game and i do wish they would make another for the new generation!

It's simple. Crytek using Cryengine to showcase tech development in a way people could play and investor could say "noice" while developers buy licenses to use their engine and make insane amounts of money. Just like the Crysis trilogy.

It is wild that the game was a launching title for the Xbox one and still looks like it could release today

[@T-Bone_SSteak]

Ryse looks better than some games today. Not too many anymore, but like 2 years back, it absolutely did. It was made by Crytek after all. But it's fun to hop onto every few months with a friend on the multiplayer. Don't get me wrong it has its problems, but Ryse's strengths far outshine them.

I love this game! More specifically, I love watching it like a movie from time to time. But if it ever comes to PlayStation, I’d buy and play it. If graphics, acting, and game is functional, I’ll enjoy it.
