    You could always have the 'best of both worlds', and embed your Storyline system simulations in your Rise course.

      I wouldn't consider that the "best of both worlds." If the main content is the simulation, I think it just adds complexity to the process to publish it to Review so it can be put it into a Storyline block in Rise—a block that won't be responsive and won't be able to resume where the user left off if they exit before finishing.
