No, we have God of war on xbox on home"
God of War of xbox on home:

Única coisa boa dessa tecdemo é o gráfico, combate mais repetitivo que ja joguei, extremamente fácil e apenas um combo jogo todo, e história que vai chegando no final so piora, a última seção de qte drenou uns anos da minha vida.

I had fun playing this game in 2013, it looked amazing back then and it still looks amazing now. In terms of graphics, Ryse Son of Rome looks better than most games released in recent years which is weird, it makes me think that the peak of graphics was reached at the beginning of the 2010s.
The gameplay is alright, the executions were badass but there's too many QTEs in the game. The combat could've been a lil bit better, it has a repetitive nature.
The story was alright too, its based on the Roman Empire and the Barbarians so bonus points for that.
I wish there were more games based on the Roman Empire, it's strange that most of them are RTS's. It was one of the most influential empires and still... not that many games about it...

Um dos Hack and Slash mais lineares e com pouca liberdade que já vi, eu diria até que o jogo vira um Walking Simulator quando ele não é um HnS fraquinho.

Mas é também um dos melhores jogos de ação que já joguei. Se tu só quer lutinhas cinematográficas e guerrinhas com intriguinhas em uma ambientação muito bem-feita do Império Romano, isso aqui vai te entreter tanto quanto um bom filme de ação badalado por aí.
Pelo que vi, o jogo tem algumas imprecisões históricas e descaracterizações de personagens históricos, tipo o Nero e a Boudica, mas acho só deve incomodar se tu for um professor de história ou se importar muito com essas coisas.

Não curto muito Quick Time Event mas até que eles não incomodam tanto.
Os gráficos são bonitos até hoje, de fato surpreende que o game saiu já há mais de 10 anos.

Enfim, com esse jogo aprendi que ninguém falava Latim no Império Romano e todo mundo era fluente em inglês moderno, até os povos Celtas bárbaros. Geral devia fazer Fisk na época.

Being a strict PlayStation fanboy back in the day, I must admit that Ryse: Son of Rome piqued my interest, despite being unavailable for me to play. Although it was panned by critics, it remained something that I would try if I ever got the chance. Now that I have a decent rig, I am finally able to play this.

Is Ryse: Son of Rome a great game? No. Its short length and lack of depth in both story and gameplay mechanics make this game seem more like a tech demo. However, I had a ton of fun with it.

Being a Crytek game, it's no surprise that this game is gorgeous. Its story is simple, sure, yet it is told in a cinematic, movie-like manner that keeps you interested. Its combat may consist of just light and heavy attacks, rolls and blocks/parries, yet the responsiveness of each hit and the satisfying execution animations ensured that I never got bored. A lot of people will point out that this game is also grossly inaccurate, and although true, I completely ignore this because of the inclusion of certain... characters. I simply enjoyed the game for what it is, and treated it as a typical, historically inaccurate blockbuster movie.

The game also requires a few tweaks with the files and stuff to get it running well, but it's not too difficult of a process.

There are a number of collectibles and achievements that encourage replaying the main story, if that suits your fancy. There are also co-op and solo survival modes with plenty of maps, although I don't think that the multiplayer side of things is what people play this game for.

If you're looking for a short and satisfying, epic story with gameplay that is just fun, then try this out.

While some players might find the combat repetitive; I find the combat to be great. Flowing between enemies with sword attacks, deflecting attacks and rolling out of the way is so much fun. Then to top it off with a satisfying execution with great sound effects and yells makes it even better.

What I really like about the combat is its more than just looking pretty with the execution moves; there is a level of depth and strategy to be had. Depending on how quickly you pull off the execution you will get more XP, health, damage, or fill up a bar called "Focus" that stuns nearby enemies. However you can only select one of these to at a time when doing an execution, so you have to choose wisely in a matter of seconds which one would benefit you in the moment of combat.

I HIGHLY recommend playing this on the hardest difficulty that you can select when playing for the first time. The simplicity of the combat might be forgotten just because you are really trying to survive or you know that you only have so much health until you are killed.

If you don't find the combat that interesting you might find this game rather ok, since the bulk of the game is combat. The story might keep you engaged but I wouldn't count on it.

PROS:
+ High production values
+ Very well animated
+ Great acting along with face and motion capture
+ Fantastic sound effects
+ Satisfying combat
+ The game looks amazing
+ The COOP modes are very fun

CONS:
- Combat might get repetitive
- Clunky aiming with spears

It's alright. It's still a visually impressive game even after 10 years. The story is entertaining enough (even though you can see the main twist coming a mile away). The music, cutscenes and voice acting are all done to a high level of quality. The gamepaly consists mainly of arkham-style combat with a qte-based execution system. I consider arkham-style combat to be repetitive by nature, but that doesn't need to be a problem if you enjoy it and if you're good with timing and can get into a rhythm. Plus, the game can be completed in an afternoon, so you'll probably finish it before it becomes too tiring. A more serious issue for some may be the difficulty. I played on the third hardest difficulty out of four (the fourth one gets unlocked after you beat the game) and I didn't find it challenging at all. I'm not particulary good at games and I was being pretty sloppy too. I'd recommend that most people choose that difficulty over the medium one which is probably way too easy. There's some collectibles scattered around the levels such as artwork, pieces of a short comic book and some scrolls which are supposed to add some context. I found the scrolls to be pretty boring and hardly worth reading, to be honest. I'm not deeply familiar with Roman history and mythology, though. People who are into Roman history might find things to appreciate that I simply missed. There's an online co-op arena mode as well which, to my surprise, was not completely dead. I played a couple of matches and it seems like something that could be fun if you enjoy the combat. All in all, as I said, it's alright. Nothing special apart from the pretty visuals and I doubt I'll ever play it again, but it's an ok way to spend a few hours.

Review geral: Jogo linear com foco na narrativa cinemática ambientado na Roma antiga. Possui combate com quick time event. Basicamente é isso.
Ambientação
Se passa em uma Roma antiga e é bem competente graças aos gráficos. Não há opção de exploração, você segue reto e só. Há alguns cenários diferentes, mas bem curtos.
Campanha|História
É ok, não é ruim e nem boa. O protagonista é sem sal, os vilões também, no geral é sem sal mesmo. Envolve misticismo também, achei paia.
Jogabilidade
Câmera acima do ombro, combate genérico, quick time event fácil. O jogo é bem tranquilo mesmo nas dificuldades maiores. Apesar do jogo ser bem curto chega uma hora que cansa ficar só saindo na espadada com os inimigos.
Diversão
Mediana para baixo. Fiquei mais interessado na história mesmo.
Audio|Gráficos
O auge do jogo. Os cenários são bonitos, os personagens não são ultra realistas mas são melhores que alguns jogos atuais.
Vale a pena fazer o 100%?
Ele é bem curtinho então acho que seria bem rápido fazer, mas possui conquistas online então não recomento.
