Crytek’s Ryse: Son of Rome demonstrated during Microsoft’s E3 press briefing, I was worried. The once Kinect and now controller-driven game, apart from being visually impressive thanks to an Xbox One upgrade, looked pretty generic. During a demo we learned that Ryse has no block button.
It’s still too early to tell whether or not Ryse’s hack-and-shield-bash combat will hold up over the course of an entire game, but so far the game look great!
