MC:60Been playing games for decades.
I can make a pretty good determination of what a game is based off of pre-release info.
It's a cinematic hack n slash, with limited combat and a focus on production and story, that lasts under 8 hours.
That's Ryse lite just based off the information I know. No need to play the game to make that determination.

But you said it yourself...you had your mind made up long before the game even came out.
