Fans agree that Ryse Son Of Rome remains a beautiful game and needs a follow-up
The game Ryse Son of Rome has a beautiful look and is a stunning title that fans (sort of) agree needs to be followed up.
Ryse: Son of Rome is a launch title for Xbox One and an exclusive console release. It was met with great fanfare. The trailers showed how beautiful this game would be set in an alternate ancient Rome.
Ryse: Son of Rome was arguably one of the most visually impressive Xbox One launch games, and it looks great today. Any trailer will be able to impress people, as that is the sole goal of a trailer.
When Ryse Son of Rome launched, it did not meet expectations in terms of gaming. Despite being beautiful for the time, the Xbox One release was criticized for its repetitive gameplay.
Metacritic gave Ryse: Son of Rome a score of 60 for reviewers, and only 6.4 points from users. This is a fairly consistent result. At the time, I remember all of the bad things that people said about the game. It was enough to put me off buying it at launch.
It’s been a while since I played Ryse: Son of Rome. I think it was at least one year ago, and I remember that the price had dropped significantly. I was surprised at how much I liked this game.
Ryse: Son of Rome was a great game for me. I enjoyed its beautiful visuals, and also the fact that it is not a groundbreaking title. It was more than I expected.
Fans of Reddit also discussed their surprising enjoyment of this Xbox One exclusive that was dismissed and called on Microsoft for a remake. There are only two fans who want a sequel. The thread was not short on praises for the visual beauty of the game.
“This Game is 10 years old and looks better than many modern games,” said Xiosy in the thread. Imagine how a version of Ryse II would look with an improved graphics engine.
I really wish there was a sequel. BoBoBearDev said, “The graphics are great. I play this game from time to time.”
A common comment was how it looked like a demo of new hardware. I have to agree.
The game Ryse Son of Rome has the feel of a tech demo. It’s very similar to The Order 1886. Viewtiful1DoubleO said that it’s a “look at how shiny it looks and buy it because it only works on the console”. The gameplay was not as good. “I’m just thankful that the cutscenes and story were compelling enough for me to play it until the end”, added LegionGold.
Will Ryse: Son Of Rome get a follow-up? If that were to happen I don’t think we would have to wait more than a decade. rumors about a multiformat sequel were circulating a few years back, but nothing has been heard since. Don’t wait for it to happen.
