Ryse would be praised if it was by Quantic Dream.

Ryse is a piss poor attempt at being a god of war game, set in Rome.

That argument would have some validity if it played anything like God of War.

Its more like a QD game with better combat.

YOu can't just say it's like a QD game with better combat though, if you want it to be reviewed as a point and click adventure then you have to review it based on what matters for those games.  How was the story?  How about the dialogue choices?  The puzzles?  I think if you look at Ryse as a point and click adventure you'll find that it fairs even worse than it does as a mediocre action game.
