Coupled with mediocre writing and a plot that resembles a straight to DVD movie starring Steven Seagal and there isn’t a whole lot to like about this particular entry. It makes for a very broken experience and one that is a real effort to get through. The enemy AI, or lack of, was infuriating, terrorists would spot you from about five miles away and pepper you to death or they would be standing right next to you and not have a clue. In fact, the majority of elements within Crysis remastered were a shamble of embarrassing levels. Yes, that does add a bit of a tactical element to picking and choosing when to strike but it also takes away the promised feeling of being an elite badass assassin. The armour deflects about 2 bullets, the speed lasts about 5 seconds and the cloak is useless as you uncloak as soon as you perform an action. Fancy pretending that you’re one ugly motherf**ker and stalking enemies like a chameleon? Then activate stealth and so on.Īll this sounds great until you play the game and realise it’s all a load of crap. Find yourself at the mercy of a few trigger-happy terrorists, crank up the armour and deflect some bullets long enough to get into cover. On paper the concept was pretty cool, play as an elite soldier with a funky nanosuit that resembles a foreskin that could switch between 4 power settings, Cloak, Strength, Speed and Armor, each suited to a specific gameplay tactic. In its day, Crysis was considered a benchmark title, one that every ‘elite’ member of the PC community would proudly puff out their chest and say those magic words “I can run Crysis” to which no one really cared but the fact remains, it was a hefty game to run. As your team begin to be killed off by an unknown enemy, things take a turn for the worst as an Alien species known as the CEPH are revealed.įast forward to Crysis 2 and 3 where things have gone slightly wonkier, the CEPH have invaded mainland America and it is up to our new protagonist to save the day, not only against the destructive forces of the CEPH but from the scheming political nonsense of the military government because as we know, what else would a government do while being invaded by Aliens but try to start a civil war. A group of Korean militants have seized control of the Lingshan Islands where a team of civilian archaeologists have made a discovery that could change the world. The trilogy spans an ongoing plot that begins on a jungle island where you, a member of an elite team of agents are sent in on a rescue mission that soon goes wonky. On the face of things this is a solid package of three renowned shooters (minus the multiplayer component) all spiced up for modern audiences on Series X|S, PlayStation 5 and PC, but do these processor pounding behemoths stand the test of time? Let’s take a look. After a somewhat mediocre release for Crysis Remastered, Crytek have since gone the extra mile and remastered Crysis 2 and 3, slapped them all in a bundle and released them as a full trilogy.
