Ryse.

The gameplay looks simple but I love the ancient era.


I would have to say that I agree. While I do not like the extensive use of QTEs, I love Ancient Rome - anything about antiquity really. Hopefully it is a good game.

What eras specifically? Medieval times as well?

Yesterday I was watching an Assassin's Creed 4 Black Flag preview and while I'm not a fan of pirates, just the fact that it was set in a historical era made me a bit excited.

The Medieval ages especially. If people are being hung, drawn and quartered then I'm there. I just love the brutality and lack of tact in those times - great for literature such as movies and video games. The dialogue is often very engrossing as well. There’s nothing like old literature spoken in a British accent.

 

Yea, I concur. Not a fan of that per se, but since it is drenched in history I am interested. That was always the lure of the Assassin's Creed games for me. Modern games are less interesting to me – they seldom get my attention.  I think that’s why I am a huge fan of The Elder Scrolls, despite the bugs. A wonderful marriage between fantasy and antiquity

 

Yeah, the medieval times as it is portrayed in media is truly a magical era. It's like fantasy. The Roman times too.

That's why I think Ryse, even if it turns out to be weak on the gameplay front, probably will be worth to pick up at least from the bargain bin just for that historial experience.
