5 Xbox One Titles You May Be Unaware Of

3. Ryse: Son of Rome

Ryse-Son-Of-Rome This may well be a revolutionary title to gaming as there hasn't been many games with this style of roman combat, but also the unbelievable scope of detail and elegance in the game makes a sight to behold. However, a lot of critics has flipped on their original backing of this game after a recent live stream showing more of the game revealed a scary amount of bugs and are leaving question marks above the heads of everybody if to whether this game is simply like a cubic zircona to a diamond; It looks good enough to be fooled, but it simply isn't the real deal. The story follows a Roman general by the name of Marius who we see rise from a child to this Adonis the game has portrayed. Throughout the campaign, Marius faces many different obstacles and scenarios befitting of the war's of old and the attention to details in the scenario appears scarily accurate and was something the developers pointed out, separating this title as a true presentation of Roman warfare. Personally, I think this will be a must-buy game for the Xbox One, not only because of the fact it will be a Day One release, but because it looks like a game designed completely for the new generation and gameplay wise promises hours of entertainment with several modes, one being a 'Horde' based mode from Gears of War which looks insanely cool. In terms of bugs, they have plenty of time to rectify them and I am sure that game displayed was still non-finalised edition. Also, a note worth taking on board is that they originally designed this game for Kinect solely, then a combo of controller with Kinect, now all combat is controller based with gestures operating squad movements, so there was a lot to change.
