Ryse: Son of Rome | A Video Game Retrospective

Ryse: Son of Rome was a visually stunning Xbox One launch title that captivated players with its brutal, fast-paced combat and compelling story of revenge in ancient Rome. Despite a rocky development and short campaign, the game's breath-taking graphics and fluid swordplay left a lasting impact.
Now playable on Xbox Game Pass, do you think Ryse still holds up? Should it get a sequel or next-gen upgrade, or is it best remembered as a one-off classic? Let's dig in.

Fantastic video Craig! I know it's not as old as Ryse, but I'd love to see this style of video on Halo Infinite - Aaron

It was too short and a bit repetitive but i enjoyed it, I beat the game twice and I like the online mode (if you can get a good player to help you.)
The visuals were awesome and might have been the best looking game when it dropped. I would love a sequel but I doubt it will ever happen.

I remember it well..this and Crysis from Crytek were just on a whole other level

[@CensorTube84]

Beat Ryse twice..still waiting on a X/S update. 😅

[@Thegamemvp]

I played that game so much I don't even know how Many times but yeah an update would be great

[@REDA-SB]

I doubt it may happen. I ended up buying it again on Steam

I thought of a cool mod idea that would breath new life into this game (someone PLEASE STEAL this idea!!); modders, voice actors, and a few literary scholars get together and make a "Latin mode" Where you can make everything they say from the spoken dialogue to the subtitles to even the UI and HUD be entirely in Roman Latin for the time! You would of course be able to configure whether you want elements of the HUD, the subtitles, or the actual vocal dialogue in your native language or Latin, and could go as far as configure things like whether the C makes the "s" sound or the "Kh" sound, or if the e made the "ee" sound or the "ai" sound and other things that scholars might debate about the language. (as for many of them who are hardcore in the "s" camp or the "kh" camp of pronunciation would care about that and get mad if they couldn't change it.) Lastly, I want to emphasize that it would allow for some underground voice actors to shine and say their lines more casually and naturally without having the cultural popping of English speakers trying to have a serious roman conversation!

Huh, so it wasn't a baking game. Shows what I know. Great video, one of those games that was technically amazing and well received yet for some reason doesn't get talked about much

[@MrX-pi1os]

I want ryse 2

[@SEKWEASH]

This game was too good but because and since it's an Xbox, we have expect nothing more

[@MarsWrestlingKingdom]
