It's alright. It's still a visually impressive game even after 10 years. The story is entertaining enough (even though you can see the main twist coming a mile away). The music, cutscenes and voice acting are all done to a high level of quality. The gamepaly consists mainly of arkham-style combat with a qte-based execution system. I consider arkham-style combat to be repetitive by nature, but that doesn't need to be a problem if you enjoy it and if you're good with timing and can get into a rhythm. Plus, the game can be completed in an afternoon, so you'll probably finish it before it becomes too tiring. A more serious issue for some may be the difficulty. I played on the third hardest difficulty out of four (the fourth one gets unlocked after you beat the game) and I didn't find it challenging at all. I'm not particulary good at games and I was being pretty sloppy too. I'd recommend that most people choose that difficulty over the medium one which is probably way too easy. There's some collectibles scattered around the levels such as artwork, pieces of a short comic book and some scrolls which are supposed to add some context. I found the scrolls to be pretty boring and hardly worth reading, to be honest. I'm not deeply familiar with Roman history and mythology, though. People who are into Roman history might find things to appreciate that I simply missed. There's an online co-op arena mode as well which, to my surprise, was not completely dead. I played a couple of matches and it seems like something that could be fun if you enjoy the combat. All in all, as I said, it's alright. Nothing special apart from the pretty visuals and I doubt I'll ever play it again, but it's an ok way to spend a few hours.

Única coisa boa dessa tecdemo é o gráfico, combate mais repetitivo que ja joguei, extremamente fácil e apenas um combo jogo todo, e história que vai chegando no final so piora, a última seção de qte drenou uns anos da minha vida.

I had fun playing this game in 2013, it looked amazing back then and it still looks amazing now. In terms of graphics, Ryse Son of Rome looks better than most games released in recent years which is weird, it makes me think that the peak of graphics was reached at the beginning of the 2010s.
The gameplay is alright, the executions were badass but there's too many QTEs in the game. The combat could've been a lil bit better, it has a repetitive nature.
The story was alright too, its based on the Roman Empire and the Barbarians so bonus points for that.
I wish there were more games based on the Roman Empire, it's strange that most of them are RTS's. It was one of the most influential empires and still... not that many games about it...
