I enjoyed playing through Ryse, but it left a lot to be desired.

1) Failing a QTE should end a combo. No penalty makes it boring.
2) There should have been significantly more execution animations given you spend so much time watching them.
3) There should have been more tactical ways to clear enemies in an area. Such as setting off traps, stealth kills, etc.
4) Multiplayer should support more than two players. It should have been four at a minimum.

As is Ryse is a solid 6. But with my suggestions, it could have been a 7 or 8.

1.  there is kind of a penalty as you score less for not completing it.

2.  you didnt upgrade the executions with your points?

3.  agree

4.  agree

Its a sold 7 for me.  the improvements would make it an easy 8

1. That's not a significant enough penalty. Missing a button at the beginning of an excutation should stop it. Perhaps button presses after that should be for points.

2. I did, but I must have executed hundreds of enemies in a single playthough. Executions are a big part of the game and watching the same animations over and over became tedious.
