Ryse has more in common with Beyond than Heavy Rain, and Beyond is at a 70 metascore. I think Ryse would have performed much better in reviews had they found another way other than constant button presses to reward you for executions. It was an immediate, insurmountable criticism for some people. Like Beyond, all the presentation and story in the world won't make up for core gameplay mechanics that people simply didn't enjoy.
LOL @ calling Ryse a piss poor GoW attempt. I am guessing these people making this comparison have never played Ryse or GoW or maybe both.
