RYSE - What a Suprise!

User Rating: 8 | Ryse: Son of Rome (Day One Edition) XONE

I had always seen Gamespot as the most accurate place to get an idea of how good a game is before I buy it based on there reviews, but ever since The Last of Us was given an 8/10 I have been somewhat skeptical with their reviews, I guess you never truly know if a game is for until your try it for yourself.

4/10?!? Could not be more wrong!

This games is awesome, the graphics, the constantly changing dynamic gameplay, the seamless Cut scene/Gameplay transitioning, this game is one of the better games I have played in a while.

ProsCons
  • Graphics are great
  • Kinda dull story
  • Cut scenes & gameplay transitions are perfectly seamless
  • Weak character development
  • Voice commands make you feel like your there giving the orders
  • Some boss fight become repetitive and feel like a grind
  • Takes time to figure out boss strategies
  • Story can be confusing sometimes (Why was he given the dagger 3 separate times?)
  • Beautifully Gruesome
  • Game mechanics are realistic (Dodging doesn't always mean your safe)
  • Battling changes as you play and doesn't feel repetitive
