One thing this game has is visuals. Sweet lord this game is gorgeous. This game is such and eye candy.
The story is ok. It's a bit cliche that kinda reduces the emotional connection to the game.
And the combat is very basic. The parts when troops get together and form a unit are very fun and unique, which the game's short length doesn't allow it to show us more of these mechanics.
Such a shame, this could've turn out amazing.

Pontos bons: o jogo é realmente bonito.
Pontos ruins: todo o resto… a narrativa é fraca, o jogo crasha literalmente no Xbox séries eu imagino isso no one, o áudio bugado, eu literalmente estava lutando contra uns 5 caras com uma mão enquanto coçava o olho. Sério eu prefiro miletar assassin’s creed odyssey ao invés de jogar isso denovo.

Review EN/PTBR
The game that seems like it only existed to promote the Xbox One, and that's not a bad thing, this game was excellent for that at the time, but nowadays, playing on PC and looking at the story and gameplay, it's not all that.
A very simple combat but still used in a creative way, a story that could be called original but without any impressive narrative, good graphics even for the time and a soundtrack that goes completely unnoticed
If I had to sum up this game in one word I would say: OK
It's not a very bad game
It's not an amazing game
and I don't know why but every time I saw Marius' face it reminded me of the Hulk.

O jogo que parece que só existiu pra fazer propaganda do Xbox One, não que isso seja algo ruim, esse jogo foi excelente pra isso na época porém hoje em dia jogando em pc e olhando bem pra história e gameplay, não é tudo aquilo realmente.
Um combate muito simples porém que ainda é usado de forma criativa, uma história que poderia se chamar de original mas sem nenhuma narrativa impressionante, gráficos bons até pra época e uma trilha sonora que passa completamente despercebida
Se eu tivesse que resumir esse jogo em 1 palavra eu diria: OK
Não é um jogo muito ruim
Não é um jogo incrível
e eu não sei porque mas toda vez que eu via o rosto do Marius eu me lembrava do Hulk.

قصة جيدة بدايتها ظلمتها شويتين، القيمبلاي فيه تكرار ممل، والتكتيكات بنص المعارك حلوه لكن ليت فيها تنوع اكبر لان التكرار قتلها خاصة صعوبتها ما تتغير الحقيقة، السلوموشن حلو وتشابتر القلادييتر الافضل قصصيًا ومن ناحية القيمبلاي بعد. النهاية جميلة، هذي من الالعاب الي تحس سووها بشكل مستعجل عشان توريك قدرات الجهاز وقت اطلاقه، ومن ناحية الاداء والجودة كانت مذهلة فعلا.
It's one of those 6 hour games you play over a weekend and have a really good time with. the combat is really fun and the set pieces are cool. feels like a great-value God of War. the story is nothing special, even as someone who enjoys narratives of this era. nothing really memorable here, but would definitely recommend if you're just looking to have a good time for a few hours
This game is a case study in getting carried by visuals. The game is indeed gorgeous and graphically impressive to this day.
But everything else is basically a let down. This was an xbox launch title! This is exactly why xbox struggles to compete. The main elements , combat and story , are very surface level and have absolutely no depth. The characters are decent but nothing standout except vitallion.
Yet if you look away from the expectations and go in for a weekend of visually stunning roman hack and slash fun, you can come out of the game satisfied. I was neither under or over , just perfectly whelmed .

"A brave man tastes death once. Cowards, a thousand times over."
Ryse: Son of Rome offers a tight, impressive spectacle with wonderful visuals, captivating environments, engaging cinematics and a strong enough story that all carry you through some slightly repetitive combat.
As a fan of ancient historical settings and having recently re-watched the first season of HBO's excellent TV show Rome, it was a joy to be in the world of this overlooked Xbox One launch title. Each chapter offers a different location to fight through the barbarian hoards, and whilst the actual combat itself can sometimes seem quite dull, the game doesn't outstay its welcome with a short 5-6 hour playtime and enough location variety to make the fighting stay fun despite the predictable loop. I love that it felt almost like a throwback to Conan-like hack-and-slash games that don't really take much thought or precision, and I'd welcome more of this type of game.
One of the things I did enjoy the most about combat the most were those, also admittedly shallow, "strategic" moments that gave you the illusion of being in control of a whole troop of roman soldiers, whether that be marching forth in formation or, more specifically, giving orders as to where they should be placed. I would have loved more moments like this because no matter how arbitrary, whenever they popped up I always took a good few minutes to plan out my strategy in my mind, it really added a lot to my enjoyment.
Overall, then, this is an extremely fun game with stellar presentation and engaging story, and whilst the game-play didn't quite live up to it's potential, I still found it to be a good old hack-and-slash time in a setting I couldn't get enough of.

Considering the year it was released, it still has beautiful graphics, but it also has a mediocre story and repetitive gameplay. Overall, it's an average game. Crytek wanted to make a different game at the time, but I don't think they succeeded. There is nothing memorable or special about Ryse Son Of Rome. Probably the main purpose of making this game was to better introduce the Cry Engine.
