Every Crytek game ever made has been graphics over gameplay. Hence why the studio is bankrupt and likely closing. Always spend too much money on tech and not enough on making a game people actually want to play.
I haven't played Ryse but don't really feel like I need to. Watched a lot of videos of it around E3 time, read the reviews, read what people have said about it.
To be equally critical of a Sony title, The Order: 1886 is (so far) the PS4 equivalent. Insanely good looking graphics, but the game just looks like a bore and perpetuates gameplay ideas that went out of favor half-way through last generation (notably, quick time events).
