I'll say this right now, I love games like Ryse. I love the Roman history and artwork, it reminds me of Gladiator, The Eagle, Spartacus. This game is in similar fashion to Gladiator and Sparticus as it is a story of revenge. Sorry if anyone is bumbed out, but did you expect anything less from a time period of rampant sex and murder? I won't go into too much detail, but one thing needs to be said about this game, it suffers heavily from looking so pretty that I could possibly cook an egg on my computer. I don't think I have bad specs by any means, but there's a problem when Dead Rising 3 on launch gave me less of a headache and didn't turn my room into a hotbox than this game. I completely respect Crytek as one of the few companies that make games that look truly "next gen" instead of saying it with pre-rendered cutscenes. But my only complaint is the fact that 2 times throughout this game, my computer almost melted itself, in the 'Nottingham Woods' and 'The Arena'. The woods are obvious, mostly because of the floral textures as there are lots of trees in this one level, as far as the eye could see. The Arena as well because of the sheer number of npcs and random confetti. One thing you will notice is that this game has some weird quirks as well, for me it required me to open Google Chrome in order to get the game to not stutter so much. Then, there was the 'Crysis 3 Nvidia forced v-sync' guide that fixed most of my stuttering bugs. I don't know what the deal is with this game, but it seems like a very good port and poorly optimized at the same time, which is something I never thought I'd say about a game before. Where it runs good, but poor at the same time. I'd recommend this game as a true benchmark for your computer, but outside of that, it is a headache to run and unless you can stand 90 degrees in your room from just looking at trees, I'd pass.
