Xbox Uncut - RYSE Son of Rome Review

"Microsoft recently decided to test out a new digital pricing initiative, and Ryse: Son of Rome is the first test for this pricing model, so now seems as good a time as ever to share my thoughts on one of my favorite titles of 2013. Ryse's development is actually a fairly bumpy one. Initially, Crytek designed the game as a Kinect-only title called Codename: Kingdoms, but development was halted and the game was built anew as the Xbox One exclusive we now know today. While some of the original game design decisions mostly likely still exist (quick time events are present for all executions, and the game is unabashedly linear), Ryse has little in common with a Kinect game. It is most assuredly a combat game from beginning to end, and a pretty good one at that." - Xbox Uncut
