What players say
For the price that this game goes for it is such a steal. It is by no means perfect, but for probably $5 it is really great. It is fun, has a good story and the multiplayer was enjoyable. Add this to your bundle in the next sale!

Rome Wasn't Built in a Day… and Ryse Deserved Another One Ryse: Son of Rome is one of those games that surprised me more through its story than through anything else. I really enjoyed Marius Titus journey and the way the game slowly turns his personal tragedy into something much bigger. What begins as a story about revenge eventually becomes a story about loyalty, betrayal, duty, and the corruption surrounding Rome...
I have at last played through Ryse: Son of Rome I liked the story, particularly The Rise of Damocles; it was definitely my favorite one. At first, I nearly completed the game in my first week, but I was unable to do that because of a glitch in the final mission. After I had returned to this game and fixed it by uninstall and install game and play with the controler and that color , I finally managed to play it...
