I would most certainly suggest Sir, You Are Being Hunted to anyone who's looking for something fun. It doesn't hold up for long due to its minimal story and non-existent class system but what it does, it does well.
While it offers little new content and is poorly optimised, Unity does offer the prime Assassin's Creed experience.
At the end of the day, The Evil Within is a good Resident Evil game from 2005, but a below average third-person action adventure game in 2014. Silly design choices and just plain awful decisions manage to hold back what could be a fantastic experience.
The overall sci-fi themes are interesting and might lead somewhere, but without tighter mechanics and a broader set of outcomes, Consortium just sits as a wannabe Mass Effect that doesn't quite understand the difference between a game of Guess Who? and a video game.
Ryse falls short in almost every area in which a game can. Pretty and polished though it may be, it is not an essential title.
