To me this game has always been the Force Unleashed for Ancent Rome. Just fun power fantasy. Game is just so epic and cinematic (also its funny to see Romans speaking in British accent while killing Britons).
@@willymack5677 I don't mind when they speak English but for the love of all that is sacred give them the accent of their land. Alot of people hate reading subtitles when watching something, so this way both groups are happy (for the most part).
I really like this game, not every game has to have dark souls level of complex combat especially since this game was made to be a tech showcase for the Xbox one which is why it still looks great 10 years later
Dude I finished the campaign, really enjoyed it. I tried multiplayer, but I either couldn't connect or the servers were empty. Truly the most overlooked game of all time
i remember watching this entire playthrough on TheRadBrad and then i bought it myself i think it was supposed to be the first game for the xbox one and most of the development was to show how cinematic and fluid the new gen console was going to be but the story is insanely good and by that alone its worth playing and yes the combat is not the best but it starts to get so fluid at points you forget about it 10/10 game and i do wish they would make another for the new generation!
It's simple. Crytek using Cryengine to showcase tech development in a way people could play and investor could say "noice" while developers buy licenses to use their engine and make insane amounts of money. Just like the Crysis trilogy.
Vikings would be cool but Valhalla is pretty much that no? I reckon maybe Mongolian or Aztec could be unique and have potential for some new mechanics (e.g. dual wielding curved swords, or using an Aztec death horn, etc.)
Happy to see this game getting some love. Not every game needs to be a grand slam of a spectacle. Sometimes a game just hits right for a few hours and that’s okay too
It would be cool if the sequel had an execution mechanic where, instead of pressing the correct button within the time, you could create your own combos using the buttons corresponding with different body parts. Just go crazy with the dismemberment lol and different combos could give different buffs
Ryse looks better than some games today. Not too many anymore, but like 2 years back, it absolutely did. It was made by Crytek after all. But it's fun to hop onto every few months with a friend on the multiplayer. Don't get me wrong it has its problems, but Ryse's strengths far outshine them.
This game was an absolute banger. I played through every mission with so much passion. The story was awesome and captivating and I was genuinely feeling with Marius. And I'll never forget the chills I felt when you stay behind for your troops to flee. The music, the feels ... My all time favorite game
I love this game! More specifically, I love watching it like a movie from time to time. But if it ever comes to PlayStation, I’d buy and play it. If graphics, acting, and game is functional, I’ll enjoy it. I ended up loving Callisto protocol, love Detroit become human, Asuras Wrath, your game fits with any of these categories, I’m gonna enjoy it. Repetitiveness ain’t gonna stop me :B
Callisto protocol was fun but I just didn't really like all the cinematic crawling and climbing and stuff like going through vents or shimmying other than that it's underrated
This was such a good game man the multiplayer is where you can customize/wear other armor. Also just a heads up blunt weapons work very well against armor in history, you basically cave the metal plating inward on the wearer.
How was it misunderstood? This game is the G.O.A.T. of its genre. I replayed its campaign on all of its difficulties and I've never done that with any other game to this day.
I played this game to complition and it was fun to play. However me and my Brother would constantly play the Co-Op and those were the funest moments of us playing together it was generally really fun to play.
I actually liked this game, when xbox one came out, wasn't alot of games to play but Ryse I thought was pretty good for what it was (combat wise, didn't care about the story)
The MP is insanely fun and addictive (where you can wear the Praetorian armor). Get a dedicated partner together and you’re gonna have a dope time. It’s also on Steam Sales for $2 all the time.
Coming from a place of love This game is a fun time combat was pretty easy the story was weird but the setting and executions were Goated and for being damn near the first game on the one very solid
Its freaking sad... they could have done SO MUCH MORE with the Mulitplayer. In the current state it almost has nothing to offer but I still come back every now and then because the first 1-2 hours are so much fun.
Ryse for Xbox was kinda like the Order 1886 for PlayStation - a graphical showcase above everything else. I played both and they are both really fun, if a bit short and somewhat repetitive
I actually liked this game a lot back when it came out and still do now. I don't think it deserved an award or anything but it was fun. It was a nice little game to kind of show off what the xbox could handle back then.
Played this game didn't realize it came out on Xbox one downloaded it and was blown away by both story and combat the multiplayer was fun didn't have a Kinect for the voice features but was still fun shame we will never get a sequel to it
When I got my one x this was the first game I got too. This game still looks beautiful and I played through it twice. Was pretty decent for what it was
As a launch title to show off thr graphics of the Xbone you cant really expect something deep. Its entertaining and looks good. Apparently Crytek trademark or something for Ryse, so maybe something new might come some day. It would be interesting to have a different historical era, but since its been so long I want to revisit Rome.
This was one of the only games on Xbox that made me kind of want one. I never got to play it but thought it looked awesome no matter what people said about it.
Nah, this game was fun as hell and I played it so much when it came out. I think I was like 170 or something in the multi-player mode. I just wish they would have added more content to it.
Zanny I don’t know if you read comments but if like this game then you have to figure out a way to play Spartan total warrior it’s an older game but it is definitely still worth it. One of if not my favorite video game of all time and 100% deserves a remake
I wasn’t a huge fan of how the combat felt in those games but the nemesis system makes any of my criticisms invalid anyway because that system goes so hard
I still remember when they put loot boxes in SoW lol. I got bored after like 5 hours. The story wasn’t really doing it for me. The first game is simple, but better IMO.
I literally just installed this last week I hardly replay games but I’ve played ryse a few times simple story fun gameplay and looks great even now truly a hidden gem
yooo this game was awesome
Hey wait a minute.
Fr Boudicca awakened something in me as a kid
When are you guys doing the collab with too zanny?
Loved seeing you play one of my favorite games!
Based?

Everyone knows that all historical characters must have British accents otherwise it’s not realistic
@@a.w_. exactly! just look at napoleon... the *frenchman*
I’d rather read subtitles translated from Latin tbh. Wish more games stuck to that sort of thing, like Ghost of Tsushima Japanese dialogue.
@@asherwoodrow7471Notoriously charismatic and young leader: is depicted as an old, British, incel.
Man, that movie was beyond dissapointing.
@@willymack5677 I don't mind when they speak English but for the love of all that is sacred give them the accent of their land. Alot of people hate reading subtitles when watching something, so this way both groups are happy (for the most part).
We need more Rome games, real men can’t stop thinking about it
Warband
@@nobodyxdel2390 warband aut caesar aut nihil
I love this game. The ending when you fight in the corridor was just epic
cinema 🙌
I really like this game, not every game has to have dark souls level of complex combat especially since this game was made to be a tech showcase for the Xbox one which is why it still looks great 10 years later
Still better then order 1886. not sure how people can defend that and say it better then ryse. atleast ryse try to be a video game.
Walking sims has more gameplay than this
@@J0hnHenrySNEEDenhuh?
@@J0hnHenrySNEEDenthey don’t tho😂
Dark Souls combat isn't even that complicated, lol
Dude I finished the campaign, really enjoyed it. I tried multiplayer, but I either couldn't connect or the servers were empty. Truly the most overlooked game of all time
Pretty sure they shut down the servers a while back
no you can stll play the multiplayer there is not just so many players left playing multiplayer@@The.Usurper
i had the pleasure a few times and from what i remember it was you adn one other player against hordes and you could do co op executions?? i think?
i remember watching this entire playthrough on TheRadBrad and then i bought it myself i think it was supposed to be the first game for the xbox one and most of the development was to show how cinematic and fluid the new gen console was going to be but the story is insanely good and by that alone its worth playing and yes the combat is not the best but it starts to get so fluid at points you forget about it 10/10 game and i do wish they would make another for the new generation!
Is this game romancible?
Booooo, get off the stage!!!
*throws a squishy tomato*
Is your dog romancible
This game is Roman.
@@animegaming4057*eats the Tomato*
No. We can see it.
Zanny: the game isn’t super historically accurate
The game: Boudica invading Rome itself with war elephants
Zanny: I wish there was dismemberment
5 seconds earlier: cuts a guys hand off
For heads he meant
@@sgm7650during normal gameplay and not on finishers, he means.
Still can't comprehend, that this game is going to be 10 years old and still looks so fucking good
Edit: it turned 10 years old on 22nd of November
It's simple.
Crytek using Cryengine to showcase tech development in a way people could play and investor could say "noice" while developers buy licenses to use their engine and make insane amounts of money.
Just like the Crysis trilogy.
It’s crazy how people are going back and discovering this game again. It’s a great little underrated Xbox Classic
I love this game and was sad when me and my friend couldn’t play the multiplayer together, still a good game!
there should be a Ryse 2, maybe a different time period this time
There was a rumor or something idk if Crytek confirmed it but there's some leaks out there that confirms Ryse 2 alongside Crysis 4
yesss, imagine a game like this but with vikings or something like that, that would be so sick
I thought crytek is only focusing on live service games like hunt:showdown.@@dantefromdevilmaycry9857
Vikings would be cool but Valhalla is pretty much that no? I reckon maybe Mongolian or Aztec could be unique and have potential for some new mechanics (e.g. dual wielding curved swords, or using an Aztec death horn, etc.)
i would love that
Wife: “He’s probably thinking about the other girls.”
Zanny’s thoughts: “I think about Rome, earnings that 2,000,000 EXP!”
😂😂😂
Me and my friend took shrooms an completed the entire arena stages co-op ludicrously cinematic and very fun experience
Can't recommend the game enough for genuine simple gory fun for hours
Happy to see this game getting some love. Not every game needs to be a grand slam of a spectacle. Sometimes a game just hits right for a few hours and that’s okay too
It would be cool if the sequel had an execution mechanic where, instead of pressing the correct button within the time, you could create your own combos using the buttons corresponding with different body parts. Just go crazy with the dismemberment lol and different combos could give different buffs
my father worked on the animation for this game. doing an internship back then during development was a teenage dream come true hahaha
I remember I played this game so much I had all of the qte executions memorized and I used to have so much fun playing it
Out of every game I don't think I would never see him play it
No way Zanny is playing this gem from my childhood. W Zanny
Ryse looks better than some games today. Not too many anymore, but like 2 years back, it absolutely did. It was made by Crytek after all. But it's fun to hop onto every few months with a friend on the multiplayer. Don't get me wrong it has its problems, but Ryse's strengths far outshine them.
Yooooo the enemy at 3:51 with the metal nipple pasties lolol
This game was an absolute banger. I played through every mission with so much passion. The story was awesome and captivating and I was genuinely feeling with Marius.
And I'll never forget the chills I felt when you stay behind for your troops to flee. The music, the feels ...
My all time favorite game

I always saw this in my dads xbox game case, i always saw ut on gamepass was always curious about it
Callisto protocol was fun but I just didn't really like all the cinematic crawling and climbing and stuff like going through vents or shimmying other than that it's underrated
Ryse is on PC, so you can play there if you have one
This was such a good game man the multiplayer is where you can customize/wear other armor. Also just a heads up blunt weapons work very well against armor in history, you basically cave the metal plating inward on the wearer.
I remember there being like a gladiator mission in this game where your character dresses up as Daedalus from mythology.
How was it misunderstood? This game is the G.O.A.T. of its genre. I replayed its campaign on all of its difficulties and I've never done that with any other game to this day.
It is wild that the game was a launching title for the Xbox one and still looks like it could release today
W game for sure. When you can fire the volley of arrows you could use your Kinect and yell “FIRE”. A masterpiece
I played this game to complition and it was fun to play. However me and my Brother would constantly play the Co-Op and those were the funest moments of us playing together it was generally really fun to play.
Wish they would’ve done a sequel, or a game with a whole different setting.
I played this on game pass a bit ago and it was decently fun. Really flashy and cinematic
I have so many hours on this game, never in my life did i think id see Zanny playing such peak cinema.
This game is truly a gem 💎
Can’t believe I’m seeing you playing it!
RYSE son of Rome is truly incredible.
Multiplayer in the colosseum is so fun
i like how zanny warns you about the spoiler after you have been spoiled
This was the first game I played on the Xbox one at my friends house and it was so clearly the future of gaming to me even at such a young age.
This game was so fun, I'm so glad I found out about it, now watching Zanny play it does put a smile on my face
Underrated game. Enjoyed the story and the gameplay.
This was 10 YEARS AGO?! I feel so damn old 👵
Glad to see and hear that Zanny has heard of Ryse Son Of Rome and has played it before, E for the algorithm!
Massively underrated game! Great video btw
I just finished my second play through of this last week. It’s definitely a very simple game, but it’s fantastic. I love it.
Roman has a little comeback. Good that he is doing great
Ah three zanny. Makarov’s sixth in command
Yes! I've always loved this game and never understood the initial hate
I occaisonally play the Gladiator mode to this day, I find it very unique, grandiose and fun, you eventually turn into a Roman Doom Slayer
I actually liked this game, when xbox one came out, wasn't alot of games to play but Ryse I thought was pretty good for what it was (combat wise, didn't care about the story)
This was one of the first good looking games I got on PC. I played it sooooooooooo much. I love classic power fantasy stuff
10:08 FATHER!!!
*crunches some snacks
"it's just 8 missions" each mission is mad long
The MP is insanely fun and addictive (where you can wear the Praetorian armor). Get a dedicated partner together and you’re gonna have a dope time.
It’s also on Steam Sales for $2 all the time.
I loved this game tbh, very first Xbone game I played and it feeling like you're playing a quasi 300 was amazing
Coming from a place of love
This game is a fun time combat was pretty easy the story was weird but the setting and executions were Goated and for being damn near the first game on the one very solid
I liked the video before viewing it because of the title. It was my first game on Xbox One and it blew me away.
I believe that was Apollo's sistor or the Roman goddess of agriculture.
Its freaking sad... they could have done SO MUCH MORE with the Mulitplayer.
In the current state it almost has nothing to offer but I still come back every now and then because the first 1-2 hours are so much fun.
I used to play this so much, I wouldn’t be surprised if I was on that multiplayer leaderboard
If I could just play this game on my ps5 maybe I wouldn’t be constantly thinking of the Roman Empire
This looks amazing for 2013, I'm blown away
Ryse for Xbox was kinda like the Order 1886 for PlayStation - a graphical showcase above everything else. I played both and they are both really fun, if a bit short and somewhat repetitive
I actually liked this game a lot back when it came out and still do now. I don't think it deserved an award or anything but it was fun. It was a nice little game to kind of show off what the xbox could handle back then.

The combat is better than AC Mirage so that’s a bonus
Unironically, one of my favourite games
When I got my one x this was the first game I got too. This game still looks beautiful and I played through it twice. Was pretty decent for what it was
This game and inversion were the greatest games i've ever played in 2012 and i wished they give them proper remake but they never did
One of my favorite games ever wish it was longer and the multiplayer lasted
Always wanted this game
As a launch title to show off thr graphics of the Xbone you cant really expect something deep. Its entertaining and looks good.
Apparently Crytek trademark or something for Ryse, so maybe something new might come some day. It would be interesting to have a different historical era, but since its been so long I want to revisit Rome.
100% the game, got to like level 300 in the multiplayer. It’s a easy game to play, but it’s very satisfying
my uncle worked on the art for this game
This was one of the only games on Xbox that made me kind of want one. I never got to play it but thought it looked awesome no matter what people said about it.
Nah, this game was fun as hell and I played it so much when it came out. I think I was like 170 or something in the multi-player mode. I just wish they would have added more content to it.
Ryse is awesome I’m so happy someone is finally playing it
Zanny I don’t know if you read comments but if like this game then you have to figure out a way to play Spartan total warrior it’s an older game but it is definitely still worth it. One of if not my favorite video game of all time and 100% deserves a remake
Day 113 of asking Zanny to do an uncharted series:
How mad are you that he won't play pony tomb raider clone but will go back and play old Xbox exclusive. Do you understand now Boy🤣
Ah, so this is Zanny’s Roman Empire.
Any game that lets you execute multiple enemies is a good game.
If you want decapitations and good melee combat Middle earth Shadow of war bangs
I wasn’t a huge fan of how the combat felt in those games but the nemesis system makes any of my criticisms invalid anyway because that system goes so hard
I still remember when they put loot boxes in SoW lol. I got bored after like 5 hours. The story wasn’t really doing it for me. The first game is simple, but better IMO.
Imagine Nero just dodge-rolls in that ending cutscene
I literally just installed this last week I hardly replay games but I’ve played ryse a few times simple story fun gameplay and looks great even now truly a hidden gem
This makes me think about the roman empire every day
It was a really great game, kinda like the old CoD games, but for Ancient Rome
Imagine if that one guy hadn't told zanny the button for executions
i wished they'd make more roman games like this but maybe during the timeline of Julius Caesar
To think this was one of the launch titles for Xbox one, I remember this flying around but hearing no negatives or positives, it just existed lol
1:45 we got the Lorica Segmentata. We got the cool armour
The shield wall mission was my favourite
LOVED this game when it came out. Still play it every now and then when feeling Roman like🤣🤣🤣
Played this myself and sad it doesnt have more players. Nice you played it
I'm an Athena simp. Also called Minerva in the Roman pantheon.
One game i wish got a remake/remaster is shadow of rome. My goodness that game was amazing to me
Edit: Zanny would love shadow of rome
This shit was good. It gave me a lot of nostalgia for old school hack & slash games like og GOW and Spartan: Total Warrior.
This game was the biggest surprise for me, how good it was, at least the campaign.
This game was fire and extremely underrated.. But I think misunderstood is the best way to put it. I loved the story too
INCREDIBILLIS!!!! This is Roman's lore before he was bought off into the Ubisoft Slave trade
First game I got for xbox one was evolve. Very interesting game, hoping they make another of it's type at some point
Evolve? The game that pretty much started the meme of 20 dollars for blue lmao
@zachrohler1047 pretty much, i still thought it was fun for what it was though
@@samuelwestwood6255 ohh yeah. Just wish they added more content and not skins.
ROMAN IS HAPPY TO RETURN TO THIS CHANNEL
I liked this game. It wasn’t anything crazy or groundbreaking, but it was solid and the story was pretty good
