Glorious Mediocrity

User Rating: 5 | Ryse: Son of Rome PC

A game with some potential, great graphics, decent story, plots, twists and everything you would expect from a game that portrays the glorious Roman empire, yet.. the game fails miserably to entertain the user, instead you are just going through a series of repeatable small scale combats and a linear story that really bore you to death, and makes you eager to see the cinematics. The AI is bad and the combat mechanics could use a huge improvement.

If you're a fan of mindless hacknslash and don't care about a goal, strategy, diversity.. this game is for you.

Although not entirely bad, the 14,99€ price tag currently on steam makes me not recommend it unless it's 90% off.
