Pros
Graphics
Satisfying executions
Story
Cutscenes
Non stop action
Boss fights
60fps on my awesome rig

Cons
Only one weapon throughout the game
No vehicles chariots horses ect
Smoother execution in some of the mechanics outside of core action
No executions on bosses?

Conclusion
There are moments where you feel a bit cramp and can easily overlook key items as you feel rushed by the moment of the game and charging soldiers. The repetitive A.I. needs more investment because you'll notice you fight the same 5 barbarians over and over again.Ryse is a pretty good action combat game that can get a little repetitive, but that doesn't mean that the game isn't any good. There are a total of four difficulties you can play the story mode on, but you need to beat the game to play the hardest difficulty. The graphics are amazing. The game play can leave your hands tired after bashing all the buttons over and over again. There is a lot of blocking, breaking the enemy's guard, and attacking that makes the game challenging,
Bottom line:This was one of my most anticipated titles going into the Xbox One launch. Few games have been set in the time of the Roman Empire, a period of time I find fascinating, and this game promised to fulfill my dreams of being set in this spectacular era. On that front, the game did not disappoint. The game is only $6.99 right now, it can't go wrong. Don't hesitate if you like the Roman Empire aesthetics and want some brutal action. It costs almost the same a s a movie rental, lasts 4 times more and it is twice as fun. 8/10....although is short it is a must own game.although i can say this is my second time owning the game and play it since basically i have play it on xbox one since it's launch.
