Potential. That sums up this entire game. As an XONE exclusive I was excited for this game as any win for XONE over PS4 is great for me. I enjoyed the couple of hours I got from Ryse, it was fast paced and kept me going but it was just that, a couple of hours. There was design and scope here for something epic. Battles with hundreds of guys swarming around you, not micro battles that seem the same every time and only differ when you have something being thrown at you from a turret.
If this game goes on sale, give it a go otherwise for full price buy something that will keep you entertained for longer.
