Critic Reviews
Ryse: Son of Rome Review
Ryse: Son of Rome feels a lot like a Call of Duty title in Roman clothing. It's bloodthirsty combat and fast pace gets the adrenaline pumping and the set pieces are bombastic and spectacular. Storming the British coast feels and looks like the D-Day landing but in ancient times, and achieving this level of intensity and maintaining it is an impressive feat. The narrative is well put together and expertly delivered and although it's repetitive the brevity of the experience helps to prevent it feeling like a slog. Rome wasn't built in a day but you'll easily complete Ryse inside of one - but you'll also enjoy the adventure whilst it lasts.

Play your part in protecting the Roman Empire as legionnaire Marius Titus, a man with a thirst for revenge and a penchant for particularly gory execution moves. Ryse Son of Rome could have been a great game but its repetitive gameplay holds it back from greatness.

"Ryse: Son of Rome might be the best looking game released on either the PS4 or Xbox One. Unfortunately, it's lacking in the gameplay department. You can tell that there's potential here, but it has yet to be reached."
