As Marius, you’ll engage in brutal combat and lead your forces into massive battles to save Rome from threats to its very existence.

Ryse is simple, but the game has a certain moreish quality to it. It's without doubt repetitive, and replicates its few ideas constantly across its six-hour running time, but I couldn't help but enjoy it. For all its idiotic and straightforward ways, anyone who gets this day one with their console will, at the very least, have a wry smile on their face. It'll vanish from your brain as soon as you've finished it, but before that, Ryse is oddly fun.
In an industry that is quickly becoming reliant on established ideas, Ryse: Son of Rome is a daring, if faltering, move to deliver something new. It may not find its mark, but a sequel that improves upon the broader criticisms could see Crytek on to something truly special.
Ryse has an interesting dilemma. It contains a fun combat system, a fine story and beautiful visuals, yet fails to make an impact. It’s damaged by being painfully short, linear and repetitive, the combination of which proves hard to overcome. It remains enjoyable all the way to the end, but it’s the sort of game you’ll clear in an afternoon and never touch again. Gorgeous visuals, including the best facial animations of any Xbox One release, and impressive large-scale battles....
