Ryse: Son of Rome Lands on PC Supporting 4K, Gets Panned for Repetitive Gameplay

Xbox One launch title makes its way to PC

Ryse: Son of Rome is a third-person action-adventure game developed by Crytek and published by Microsoft Studios as a launch title for the Xbox One back in November of last year. However, Crytek announced a little over a month ago that it would ship to PC on October 10, and in case you missed it, Ryse: Son of Rome is now available on Steam for $40, along with a pair of hotfixes to address freezing cutscene issues.
The port to PC comes with 4K Ultra HD resolution support, along with supersampling and other eye candy, ultimately allowing for superior visuals than you'll get with an Xbox One connected to a Full HD 1080p television. However, the same criticisms apply -- gameplay is repetitive.
While we have yet to post our own review of Ryse, our sister site/magazine PC Gamer scored Ryse a 57 out of 100. Short and to the point, PC Gamer concluded that "Ryse: Son of Rome's combat and incredible graphics are entertaining, but it's too narrow and repetitive, even for a short ride." Bummer.
In any event, you can watch the 4K launch trailer below, and if interested, pick Ryse up on Steam.
