I will do a new review thread if nobody else wants to.

 

[SRTtoZ]

Na I expect mixed reviews. It won't be a one sided trashing....

 

[Chobel]

Less than 3 min, seriously someone create review thread.

I will do a new review thread if nobody else wants to.

Go for it.

WTF, are you joking or you really heard that?
I havent seen no one dying at the demonstrations, but if thats true, what a HUGE FAIL.
Like just watch the infinity QTEs wasnt enough!!

You can fail though. The dude takes takes a knee and a msg along the lines of "Marius was defeated" flashes in (as seen in the polygon stream yesterday).

 

[hyp3rlink]

I think the review are going to be better than those for Knack.

I think it's rare for a game to only receive positive or negative reviews. Question is just how one sided will this be?

 

[neorej]

I don't think Ryse will get any 9s

I thought the same of so many games the past generation. I was so wrong on so many games.

 

[Footos22]

10mins?

Cant wait for Polygon's 9/10

Here. we. go.

I doubt they'd give it more then a 7.

Polygon isnt a biased website like most here think.

 

[rdrr gnr]

I'll throw out a prediction: Sessler's 2/5 or 4/10 is the lowest score this game will get.
Prediction 2: No mainstream website will rate this game higher than 9 (or 4/5 stars).

Polygon doesn't count.

[kanuuna]

I haven't had much of a look at this game beyond E3, but damn it looks pretty from Sessler's review. It's a shame they couldn't make a more inspiring game to compliment such visuals.

 

[Fistwell]

EG: 5.

 

[Huggers]

My guess

+ Beautiful to look at
+ Engaging theme and environments
+ Fun Story
+ Would enjoy a more fleshed out sequel

- Game too short
- Despite combat feeling visceral, too limited
- Dull online modes

Metascore 7.0

[SRTtoZ]

This might end up worse than knack.

 

[Fistwell]

Nasty, brutish and short, Ryse: Son of Rome has emerged from a seven-year development hell as a visually resplendent, preternaturally dumb action game that exhibits a galling, monotonous bloodlust.

I see.

Looks to be as bad as I imagined it to be from footage.

 

[SymbiantXenos]

No Et tu, Polygon jokes?

 

[hyp3rlink]

Polygon redeemed? I feel theirs is the most negative review of all, at least going by the video review.

 

[ufo8mycat]

This is a crytek game.

More then enough reason it will be very average. All graphics, average gameplay.

Not really no. I think the site has staff that doesn't always see eye to eye, much like Kotaku and other game enthusiast sites.

[zoukka]

Reviews seem rather forgiving to be honest. I expected lower scores based on the gameplay videos.
