Review title of Mayhem The Red Good. But not great

One of the few games annouced with the xbox one, a few years back. Ryse: Son of Rome is a graphical stunt... And that's mostly it. The gameplay is simple and doesn't required to be mastered, even on the higher difficulty settings. The story of the protagonist, Marius, out for revenge is nothing original and fail to create any emotional ties between the characters and the player. Simply being pretty doesn't make a good game, though it is definitely a plus. Some scenes are worth just stopping and admiring them. The brutal combat animations can be good to let out some steam. If you can get it at a discount, dont hesitate. But it's not worth paying full price.
