What a game man..... i know a lot of people dont like this game like i do but the story finale and the levels of this game are so good
has the same stuff as the first two games but better somehow, and the final boss is super awesome
and that ending..... such a good message

(reposting as I reviewed a different version of the game from the one I played)
A middling end to a middling series.
The first few hours of Crysis 3 were the most fun I had in any of the Crysis games. (Note that at the time of writing this review, I have not played Crysis Warhead.) The predator bow is awesome and the levels are well designed for creative gameplay approaches. The game fully embraces a sneaky hit-and-run disappearing into the shadows style of combat which is where this series is strongest. After Crysis 2's sharp turn into linearity, it seems the developers listened and brought back some of the sandbox creativity from Crysis 1. On top of that, it all takes place in beautiful overgrown ruins of New York, totally dripping with atmosphere. It's tremendous fun.
For a while.
Then the game's hurried development rears its ugly head. Crysis 3 is much shorter than Crysis 1 and 2, and it seems the developers knew this because the back half of the game mostly consists of large swathes of land with objectives plonked at opposite ends, which you just sprint or drive across with no actual content in between. It's a very obvious attempt to pad the game's length for as long as possible because it would otherwise be about four hours long. The last level turns into a corridor but still blatantly tries to delay the game's conclusion with pointless objectives and it plays like discount Halo, with a terrible final boss to boot. But desperately trying to stretch the game's length like this only served to make the game's final act more exhausting to get through, despite it still being shorter than its predecessors.
The Crysis series was built on a fine premise of a sandbox shooter with stealth-infused predator style combat. But somehow it let a mountain of potential slip through its fingers and each game fumbled the premise in unique ways. I still think the series deserves a revival, but only if it seriously takes its failures into account and properly builds on its strengths. There is definitely room in the market for a sandbox shooter that isn't Far Cry. A new Crysis would only have to stick to its guns and avoid trading player freedom for linear corridor levels, and ideally drop its nonsensical plot. But as it is, this series will probably be forgotten except for how amazing the first game's graphics looked in 2007.

Despite the negative backlash Crysis 3 had at launch, this was the Crysis where i've had the most fun playing.
I really felt like in a Predator movie, hunting poor bastards with my bow while being invisible.
Crysis 3 for me was like a 'best of' Crysis. The stealth felt like the best approach for me, and i fun while doing so.
What this game could have needed was a few extra levels, I found it rather short.
And just like the other Crysis games, Crysis 3 is no exception when it comes to looking good.
Im not sure what to expect from Crysis 4 but let's hope it will be good.

It's too easy, even on the hardest difficulty... I like the mechanics and the predator bow, but you can cheese the whole game with armor and stealth. Even the predator bow is absurdly powerful because it doesn't alert enemies. The Ai is also atrociously bad. This is just a generic shooter, with a generic protagonist and characters. It feels good to play, but everything else is not exciting.
Only get on a deep sale, if you like the sandbox element and are willing to nerf yourself to have fun.

Its crazy how good this still looks and even more crazy is how fun it is.
