Yeap me too I'm currently playing... Fuck people saying game play is meh.... I love DMC and all but ryse is hack'n and slash done right end of story.... Like you know, you actually hack and slash in that game like you are supposed too, buy pressing simple buttons and get amazing on screen results again like you are supposed to.... If I want to play street fighter meets and RPG I play DMC or boyonetta but it ain't hack'n slash... That's for sure...
so yeah people saying game play is boring are simply not hack'n slash true fans... Which is fine but don't try to spoil the fun for us by making all of them uber complex pile of crap (by hack'n slash standards of course)...
I would give that game an 8 to 8.5 if it wasn't for 3 things... A little too easy and not spectacular enough on the biss fights (I'm in soldier mod).... Executions are limited to 2 simultaneous baddies max, and the biggest one is lack of variety in enemies... A bunch of dogs at least could have been added and more original variety... But all in all I'll give it a 7.5 to 8 average with no problem...
and this leaves them with a solid base and room for improvement for future titles which is even better... A samurai one next... The only issue I can see with other era is that very few reach the level of self-righteousness and extravagance of the roman one...
