The beating heart of Rome is not the marble of the Senate…
To recap
Ryse: Son of Rome tackles next-gen gaming, giving you a sumptuous hackathon through Rome. The visuals are impressive, as is the smoothness of the animation, especially once you get into those big fights and executions. It’s a great game to be a spectator on, even if gameplay itself gets repetitive, the levels are a little linear and loading can be on the slow side.
