First - isn't it great to have that decision over with!  Congratulations too.

As someone that actually own an Xbox One and Ryse, I can say I really enjoy the game.

Do you like the fighting Assassin's Creed, but want it more developed - more variety, and things to try? Then I think you will like it. I have also run into some puzzles but they have been rather simple.

Some of the 'run and figure out what to do' reminds me of Alan Wake. Also, the hitting the haptic triggers were hitting me hard last night. It was cool.

It's a beautiful gruesome game with great voice acting, music and awesome graphics.

You are also welcome to come over a try it, but I think I'm a bit far of a commute.

Don't worry, The Xbox One gets no where near the amount of doomed/hate threads as much the wiiU does

But Congrats!!! I think its a great system... Just a tad too expensive for me atm

I've heard that Ryse is an ok game, but nothing special. Getting hugely overblown hype for simply being a launch title for a brand new graphically powered console. But basically it's supposedly a Dynasty Warriors game with Roman soldiers, in that it's overly simplistic and you simply mash buttons. But as long as you know what you're getting, it seems like a decent enough game.

Don't they have a demo-version of the game that you can download and try? I mean if you are not sure whether to buy it or not. Or get it as a rental first, because if you like it then you will want to buy it anyway, right?

Rent Ryse, it's not worth the purchase

"judging from it's mediocre reviews""

You will be happy with your decision once you see Quantum Break gameplay Saturday.
