the story is great and the executions are very brutal. the graphics hold up amazing for a 2014 game. the only downside is the multiplayer is dead so you better have friends if you want to play it. ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED!? yes i am very entertained

I first played Ryse: Son of Rome when it released on Xbox over 11 almost 12 years ago, and Im roughly just over 50% of the way to complete it on steam now too, it’s still an exceptional experience. Even after more than a decade, this game remains a shining example of what great design, storytelling, and action can achieve. The world of ancient Rome feels alive and immersive, and it’s easy to get lost in the stunningly crafted arenas, majestic architecture, and atmospheric settings. The cinematic presentation is on another level, with the story unfolding like a thrilling, interactive movie. Granted, of course the Graphics arent impecable anymore, but they are still amazing over a decade later, The combat mechanics, which are a core part of the game, are just as satisfying now as they were back then. while the finishing moves remain as brutal and satisfying as ever. The game may not offer the same level of depth in terms of gameplay variety as others in the genre, but it makes up for that with intensity and cinematic quality. The story itself is gripping and emotional, centering around Marius Titus, a soldier driven by vengeance and honor. The narrative, which combines personal vendetta with larger historical events, does a great job of immersing you in the Roman Empire’s world. Replaying Ryse: Son of Rome on PC has been more than just a nostalgia trip, it’s reaffirmed that this game still holds up in every aspect a game should. It’s a cinematic, action-packed journey with impressive visuals, tight combat, and a compelling story. If you haven’t played it yet, or if it’s been a while, I highly recommend revisiting it. It remains one of the best action games that captures the essence of ancient Rome in such an unforgettable way. I truly cant wait to continue playing and completing the story yet again on PC, i usually state remasters can be a quick cash grab for studios, but considering this game is almost 12 years old, im highly believing myself its deserving of a remaster, or a graphic overhaul atleast, Maybe one better, a sequel or possibly a spin off that takes everything this game does perfectly with a new implemented story, Maybe even one within a different era. The mechanics of Brutal finishing moves continue to impress me, the more i play through the story again, i highly recommend playing this game, or revisiting it if you have already played it years ago. --------------------- Edit - I Completed the Main story campaign, its still as great as i remember from Xbox, Especially the ending scenes, I highly reccomend this to anyone who enjoys, Gore, Rome Era, Etc

Game #37 of My Backlog Clearing Journey Status: Completed I enjoyed this game. The story may be short, but it’s engaging enough to keep you hooked till the end. While the combat can get repetitive, the stylish executions and stunning set pieces kept me invested. Visually, the game still looks fantastic, even by today’s standards.

- Graphics: looks like a modern game despite releasing a decade ago thanks to cryengine, the same kind of engine that crysis uses. there's stuttering issues on newer nvidia cards but it's easily fixable if you mess with some in-game and nvidia control panel settings (there's [url=https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=618921276] steam guides that detail it better but otherwise, performance is solid) - Story: pretty linear and short, you'll probably finish it casually in under 7 hours. not a deal breaker though since the game only costs $10, or $3.49 with the current sale. bunch of cinematic cutscenes and great for what it is but don't expect much historical accuracy - Combat: easy to learn and fun with tons of combat executions. quick time gets repetitive after a bit but since the game is short, it isn't really a problem. there's some variation like having you lead a formation, throw pila, or use ballistas (which you can spam like an automatic btw) but otherwise, combat doesn't change much. also, friendly npcs can be a bit buggy at-times basically gladiator: the game. pretty satisfying and worth trying if you're bored and looking for some fun n quick action or if you just have a thing for the romans ig
