| Game Analysis | Ryse (formerly know as "Codename Kingdoms") is a gritty, visceral action game that draws gamers into the epic times of the Roman Empire in ways only Kinect, Crytek and the power of CryENGINE can deliver. | |
| High FPS | 100 FPS ( GTX 1060 ) | |
| Optimization Score | 7.6 | |
The main problem in Ryse is probably its initial nature. It seems clear that this was focused to be a Kinect game.
It’s really really dumb combat mechanism, along with a couple of another gameplay mechanics, feel so simple, that it is really hard to understand how they were approved at the start of the development.
At least the narrative (but not the story) is well written and presented, along with great visuals.
But its gameplay is so simple, with combat mechanics, corridor-style levels, dumb puzzles…makes an overall mediocre game with top AAA presentation.
