Do not understand the poor ratings of Spielepresee ....

The game Ryse provides a bombastic graphics. The staging is perfectly managed.
As a Roman Centurion to fight at various locations against British Barbarians. Among other things, you're in ancient Rome, a British woodland and along the coast road. Here the game is embedded in an entertaining story that motivates them to continue playing. In about five hours they brought the campaign behind him.

From the trade press often the small playful claim and the poor combat system has been criticized. First of all, the game is a typical Hackn Slay by primarily comes off enemy warriors, such as in the shade of Mordor. Here you are always motivated to gain experience points and improve his attributes. In Ryse you fight enemies mostly with the sword. In the various enemies you have to proceed in a particular way to reach the success. In addition, you can throw lock, use Ballista or give military orders. There is also a slow motion function and a variety of execution moves. Of course, the claim is not sufficient in order to connect with an RPG, but is by no means less than that of Mordor shadow.

Now to the combat system. This is quite simple. There is a button to block, one for the sword thrust, one for the Shield Slam and one for the evasive roll. The actions must be appropriately combined depending on the opponent. The Kampfsysten is easy to learn and hard to master. Certain key combinations for special promotions there are not among them. The combat system works! And motivated. Getting into the game is quick.

In addition to the multiplayer campaign, the game features a multiplayer where you can race as a gladiator in the Colosseum against other players and can rise level, to give his Gladiator new equipment. In solo mode, you can use this gladiator mode. I had my fun in multiplayer thoroughly.

Conclusion:
Finally something new. A PC game with good graphics in a unused scenario. If you like interactive movies or like schnetzelt by enemy hordes with this game makes everything right. I was five hours perfectly entertained.
