Ryse: Son of Rome is a third person hack and slash game where you take the place of a roman soldier out for revenge.
The game has beautiful graphics and solid mechanics. The setting which is personally my favorite part of the game is of course in Roman times. The game from Rome to England looks beautiful with at times fun level design and interesting architecture.

Gameplay: The gameplay is as I said solid. Everything from the mechanics to the finnisher is spot on and satisfying. Only problem I have about it is that it's get boring and repedetive towards the end of the game. Meaning it could use some expanding. Still the game has moments where gameplay change arranging from ordering arrow strikes to having soldiers pushing forward in a testudo formation. I feel this was not utilised enough and most of it only happened once or twice.

Graphics: The game looks beautiful especially the lighting and is well optimised for PC. Thinking this is a console game from 2014 it is quite impressive and you see that it was made to show off Xbox one's graphical capabillities.

Animations: For me animations is important to a game especially games in third person. And I can say everything from the face animations to the executions look great.

Bugs: Not found any there may be some don't know

Story: The story is a basic revenge tale and most of the characters are uninteresting and two dimentional. The protagonist Titus is boring and I never felt motivated to help him same with his soldier buddies. Only characters I enjoyed were the Emperor and his son.
Multiplayer: There is some arena gamemode that looks fun, but I have no friends and nobody is playing it so yeah.
Verdict: Mechanically this is a solid game to bad it could not make the combat system a little deeper and use more of the action sequences. The graphics in the game are stunning. The story is bad, but this is not a game you play for story.
