I liked the Crysis games, so naturally when I found out that Crytek was doing Ryse, I figured it couldn’t be all that bad. Also, it was a launch title for the Xbox One and I figured that they wouldn’t want to put out a crappy game as their first big foray into the new gen of systems. The trailers looked incredible and the graphics were awesome as well, so I decided to give it a go. I was in awe at first; the overwhelming look of the world in the game was unvbelievable. It was my first look at a next-gen console and I was blown away. Then as I played on, I realized that the gameplay was more of the same every time a battle ensued. The co-op modes were clunky and the online even more so. All in all, this game slowly but surely repeated its way to being a letdown.
