[Poll] The ultimate weekend battle: The Order 1886 vs. Ryse: Son of Rome. Which one do you prefer?

Yeah I don't get whenever it gets called a great game or anything like that. It had what? Like four or five actual gameplay segments? You spent more time in cutscenes and more timed in forced walking segments than you actually spent in any shooting sections. The actual shooting was decent enough but the pacing was absolutely god awful. On top of that the boss fights were a complete and utter joke.
It would have been maybe a 7/10 or 8/10 if it was episode 1 of a four part release, but as an entire game it's mediocre at best.
I enjoyed both, but I prefer the setting of The Order.
Another reason to vote for The Order might be a problem: Ryse ends at the end (not too short or long), but it feels there could be so much more in The Order 1886.
The shooting felt good with fun weapons, but you don't get to shoot enough...

I got The Order on sale for 5 bucks, played through in two sittings, and still felt ripped off. I donated it to GameStop for like 13 cents because I just wanted to be rid of it.
I've played ten minutes of Ryse, but it can't possibly be as bad as The Order, it just can't.

Is Ryse worth playing on Gamepass? Everyone is saying they felt ripped off at paying five bucks for each of these games but I just want to know if Ryse is worth my time
I'm just here to express my support for The Order: 1886. I would very much appreciate it if Sony made a spiritual successor.
You gotta give the honors to Ryse. Third-person cover-based shooters like The Order are a dime-a-dozen, but it's pretty rare to get a competent AAA-game with melee combat like Ryse. It doesn't really set the world on fire with its innovations, but it's certainly part of a more rare breed.
It's basically a linear level-based game with Arkham Batman-style combat. If that sounds good to you, then you will have fun. Even in the standalone/multiplayer levels, keeping your combos chained and going is a fun challenge.
Ryse has a special place in my heart and for a game that started out as a Kinect monstrosity I'd say Ryse turned out fairly well. The sequel potential is crazy too in my opinion as Ryse's biggest issues are things that could be easily rectified with more time and a better starting vision.
Battle of the pigs in lipstick.
Ryse at least has a horde mode that lets you actually play the game. The Order practically invites you into a five star restaurant, lifts the platters on the table, shows you the beautiful roasted duck dinner and then politely kicks your ass to the curb before you can even catch a whiff. At least Ryse had the decency of sending me home with something in a take out container.

Equally bad
In context, The Order hurt way more
Ryse came and went during launch, was bad, but the sting was numbed by being able to play Dead Rising, Forza, or Killer Instinct instead.
The Order came out during the PEAK, of the time period in the PS4's life cycle when we were in a software drought from Sony. And we all thought (at some point, even if only when that first trailer dropped) that this was going to be Sony's big new IP for this generation.

I own and played both. The Order 1886 is definitely the better game but I understand why are they pitted against each other. Ryse was a jank fest with brain dead combat from start to finish but a very interesting concept. The Order's main issues is that it's too short but what's there is quality.
Going by some comments in this thread, people are actually doing the opposite. They are voting for the one they didn't play.
Played both, neither were really bad games just uninspired. Enjoyed Ryse a lot more as I thought the combat system was better, more dynamic maybe? 1886 never really felt like there was a lot of freedom to do much of anything. The repeated boss fight in 1886 killed me too, absolutely baffling decision for a fight that wasn't even good to begin with.
Story-wise, I can't really remember either of them except for the final Batman shot of 1886 lol. I think I liked 1886's better? But not by much.

Not going to vote because I haven't played The Order. But a lot of the negativity around Ryse was that it was 900p, and a lot of people weren't even willing to give it a chance and preferred to use it as fanboy ammunition.
It was a decent game and I'd love to have seen a sequel build on it.

Neither was very good of course (and it's hard to compare like for like across genres), but The Order was definitely a better game than Ryse in every way it needed to be. Ryse genuinely had some of the laziest, most basic-ass combat design I've ever encountered in an action game. Like, there are seriously musou titles with more depth to their combat than Ryse.
Really though, the only genuinely nice thing you can say about either title is that they looked nice.

Ryse is boring but inoffensive.
Order 1886 is straight up terrible despite the fantastic audiovisual presentation and serviceable gameplay. One of the worst stories and writing I've seen in a big budget game.

Ryse was fun and looked amazing. It might be because im just desperate for a god damn roman game but id vote ryse
I think The Order is a pretty decent game. I don't see how it was worse than something like Uncharted 1, which had similar scope, and spawned multiple sequels. If Sony had greenlit a sequel I think they could have iterated in a good direction.
I liked Ryse well enough. Certainly a pretty game, and the combat was derivative, but well implemented at least. I won't vote because I haven't played The Order though
Played both and thought both were alright over all. Both had potential though so would be happy for the sequels we will never get. The Order 1886 had better graphics, even compared to Ryse on PC, but both were great looking games. Ryse felt somewhat curtailed, especially in the latter part of the game, bits were just missing. The combat was also too one note. Order 1886 had a great setting, but the narrative just wasn't coherent enough. Gameplay was fine but too restrictive in terms of level design.
Order is not just a worse game but also has a lot of wasted potentials. It pitched an unique setting where you fight mystical monsters with steampunk weapons. What you ended getting is a generic cover shooter in which you fight the same human rebel enemies over and over.
Ryse is exactly what it seems, a competent melee combat action game.
I think most people are just voting for the game on the one console they have.

Ryse was more fun I think. It also helps I didn't expect much from it. Order I thought was gonna be a genuinely good game.
Played both, didn't really like either one. Assassins Creed Odyssey was a better Ryse, Assassins Creed London was a better Order 1886.
Played both, enjoyed both, voted Order because I enjoyed it a little more. Ryse was fun too though!
Voted the order only because it had werewolves and vampires. Otherwise ryse is the much better game.
I would play a naughty dog "the order" game, just to give us a break from uncharted and tlou
The Order 1886 has so much latent potential. I enjoyed the game on its own, but it's obvious there are plenty of shortcomings.
Just imagining what a sequel could be... man. Could be incredible.
