Crytek seem to be like the Michael Bay of the video game industry: they make stuff look spectacular but the gameplay itself is shallow and lacks any real depth or complexity. Once you get to the third level or such you've pretty much seen what you're gonna be doing throughout the rest of the game, which is a shame because the combat is fun at first but there's nothing to really enhance it and keep it fresh throughout the entire campaign. It's a gorgeous looking tech demo and makes great use of the Cryengine, but as a game Ryse will leave you wanting more.
