I didn't think it was that bad; certainly the $3 price is attractive and if I didn't already own it I'd probably get it now. It isn't a great game - although its CryEngine-powered graphics are nice - but it isn't terrible. Gameplay-wise it is a less-sophisticated "God of War" clone and reminds me of the sort of adventure-brawlers that saw a brief popularity ten or fifteen years ago - games like "Enclave", "Demon Stone", "Return of the King" or even "Severance". If you're in the mood for that sort of game - and aren't expecting too much ;) - "Ryse" isn't that bad. Honestly, I had more fun with "Ryse" than I did with something like "Hunted: Demon Forge" or "Blades of Time", which are of similar theme. I don't recall it being too QTE-based - at least, not any more than other games of its type. Worse was its lack of variety; its biggest sin was how forgettable it was rather than its gameplay. But sometimes you just want to whale away at some baddies with a sword, and in that "Ryse" is an acceptable game, I think.
