![]() Yes, in hindsight Crysis 3 may actually be the high point of the entire trilogy from a purely mechanical point of view. It also features much more satisfying and fully-fleshed out stealth play, with a sleek new bow that doesn't interrupt your camo and a much-improved visor targeting system combining to really let you get into a satisfying silent assassin groove. Its levels are still much more confined that the original game, but there's far more scope, more space for messing around with your powers and toying with your enemies than in part deux. Captured on Nintendo Switch (Handheld/Undocked)Ĭrysis 3, on the other hand, rocks an interesting mix of both of its predecessors. The story may still be absolute tosh, and we will always prefer fighting human foes over their slightly less interesting alien variants, but ten years down the line from its original release, this is still a pretty spectacular shooter that looks and plays fantastically well and manages to beat out plenty of more modern efforts when it comes to giving its players the choice to go mix it up how they want. Prefer to snipe from long-range, flank your enemies or just sneak past the lot of them and head straight to your next objective? For the most part, you're accommodated. Want to wade straight into battle with your armour activated? Go for it. Yes, it drops the endlessly entertaining and hugely silly sandbox elements of the first game - the reason for our original chagrin - but what's here is still hugely entertaining and impressively flexible stuff that delivers lots of explosive set-pieces and more than enough opportunity to sit back, observe your surroundings and switch your tactics to suit your mood. We're not sure we were particularly huge fans of this sequel when it first released if we're being entirely honest, but revisiting it now it feels as though we were being a tad harsh. There's far less of the wide open spaces of the first game here and a greater focus on narrative and shuttling you through the campaign's eighteen acts. ![]() Kicking off with Crysis 2, we see a shift to a much more traditional FPS blockbuster style, with action set within the rigid confines of a shattered New York City. Longtime fans may be left disappointed with a somewhat better console port.Following on from the delightfully chaotic open world sandbox that was 2007's original Crysis, its sequels both take slightly different approaches to their super-soldier slaughtering. Anyone who missed out on Crysis the first time around may have a good time despite not receiving the full original game. But, lacking the well received multiplayer, the Ascension chapter and Warhead expansion means that it doesn’t feel like a complete package. By itself, the single player is still a great semi-open world shooter that allows great levels of freedom. Outside of buying better PC components in the future in order to eventually play “Can it Run Crysis” mode at 8K, there isn’t much of a reason to come back.Ĭrysis Remastered reminds us of a time when AAA PC games weren’t hindered by console ports. Since the multiplayer and Crysis Warhead are missing, there isn’t much to do besides playing it at harder difficulties. Missing the late game Ascension chapter is incredibly disappointing considering how much of a visual feast it could have been with the modern graphics tweaks. The game is relatively short at under 10 hours and there isn’t much to do between core mission objectives and the odd collectables. ![]() VerdictĬrysis’ single player campaign remains one of the greatest shooters of all time, but it feels somewhat dated. Those who want to play Crysis Remastered with the original’s nanosuit control scheme can enable that in the settings, though. This means that pressing the sprint key automatically allows players to use Speed Mode at the cost of energy and holding the spacebar grants the Strength Mode jump while armor and camo are given separate buttons. However, similar to the Xbox 360 and PS3 ports, the default controls are similar to Crysis 2. An impressive amount of creativity is made possible by the suit’s ability to transition between Speed Mode, Strength Mode, Stealth Mode and Armor Mode.
