I legitimately liked Ryse. Probably wouldn't have given it a 10 if I weren't a big Rome sperg :marseylegion: But still, good game :marseyagreefast:


The game is gorgeous and looks much better than games coming out right now. Seriously wtf :lemindblown: The combat is actually engaging on higher difficulties and the plot is a fun swords and sandals revenge romp in a genre and setting I personally never get tired of :marseylaying: Character design is great. The voice acting is solid and breathes life into lines that don't really seem like much on paper. There aren't many games that really have movie quality line delivery so I really noticed and appreciated that about Ryse.

And honestly I really appreciate the premise. That they just made a history themed game without it having to belong to an existing IP or something.

The multiplayer is simple but addictive, mainly sold to me personally on the premise of being a gladiator fighting in the Colosseum. Your character's entrance into the arena every match is kino :marseykino: and I never get tired of killing Britons by the hundreds :marseyqueenlizardgenocide: It's also a pretty engaging experience if you want to try your hand at the harder content, like trying to make it through survival for more than thirty minutes. All in all I had a lot of fun with this game :marseygladiatorpat:


I honestly think critics were really unfair to Ryse, since it was a great game whose main flaw was just being short. It was also an era where people still listened to critics and to this day the game's negative reception is something people remember.

But just as the goddess Nemesis empowered our hero Marius Titus to take revenge against the corrupt Emperor Nero and his sons, so too did g*mergate descend upon the journos just a few months after Ryse released. True !g*mers revolted against the parasites and dispelled their influence forever more, striking them down like the sword of Damocles reborn and restoring true peace to the G*mer Empire :marseythumbsup:

In other words g*mergate wouldn't have happened if the journ*lists had been more impartial to Ryse. It was their last and final mistake.

It's a pretty simple system but your characters level up with xp and in doing so get access to better tiers of gear.

More comments

One minor thing I really appreciated in this game is after the Boudicca fight she points out they'd be allies in another life and the player character agrees and kills her anyway. In a worse game they'd team up and girl boss the evil emperor but instead he does what his character would actually do and kill the barbarian who sacked Rome.

I wish setpiece games didn't die to get replaced by movie games or open world slop.

I forget when I got this, I think it was in a bundle, but it's been in my Steam library forever and I've never played it. Is it worth it? HLTB says it's pretty short, maybe a decent lazy Sunday game?
