once the benchmark game of PC performance, Crysis reflects to me as a sci fi spin on Far Cry. the story is surprisingly engaging, the fps gameplay is solid and the choice between stealth and full frontal combat is plentiful enough to feel like there is a sufficient amount of choice. I cant speak much to whether this version performances as well as people wanted it to, but overall I had a good time with this, if not just enough so to justify trying the rest of the trilogy

Made me realize how much I dislike Crysis 2 and 3

This game kinda sucks ass (derogatory)??? It do have dual wield pistols tho

really drops the ball after the general fight
the last boss fight was pretty bs


Teknik bakımdan üst düzey ve zevkli bir oyun. Hikayesi iyi değil.

The story is what kept me hooked, gameplay is fun but it was frustrating to use the stealth mode because anytime you fired a shot the whole base would be alerted like it just felt like the game could not decide what it wanted to be. The second half though it sets the tone and reveals that yup this is an action shooter and not a stealth one. (Played on ps5)

The missions in the first and second third of the game are good, that's the most fun I had since you can approach environments, enemies and challenges in many different ways creatively and with stealth, felt very refreshing from other shooters.

Final third though, I just don't know what happened. Felt like it turned into another game, became entirely linear and took a nosedive in quality.

The zero gravity section is absolutely terrible, looks amazing, but gameplay-wise felt very off and fighting enemies was very frustrating. And that final boss... just that whole segment from when you first get into the mountain and stop fighting humans to fight flying squids till the very end, ended up making me hate the game by the time I was done.

It would've been a solid 4.5/5.0 game easily if they just had removed the aliens part. Seriously.

I recently upgraded my system and decided to play the remastered first crysis game. But I was shocked how badly optimized the experience was. I could not play on high and RTX enabled. The gameplay was also not really appealing.

Never played the original release. stunning visually and the gameplay is pretty decent for its time but the story itself is kind of generic and a bit of a miss. It's getting its rating lowered purely because of the alien cave and flying sequences, a dishonorable mention to poor game design goes to the final boss but that wasn't as bad as the first two mentioned

When a RTX4090 drops below 40fps in a game that came out in 2007, you know it must be crysis 1. But in this case this is not a good thing. The remaster is lackluster, full of bugs and more of a sidegrade than an upgrade compared to the original game on pc. Nevertheless I chose to play this remastered Version over the original as the 21:9 support is better in the remaster. The game itself is fine for modern standards. The middle part of the game is by far the best part, where you can outplay your enemies how you seem fit. That gets lost towards the end of the game. There is a suprisingly low amount of weapons in this game, I always assumed that there would be like 20 weapons you can use to play how you like it but there are like 7 main weapons and some are too similar to each other. There is only one type of pistol on the whole island that everyone is using and its not that great. I do not know what is up with the accuracy of the weapons in this game, but if you attach a laserpointer to your weapon and aim for the head of a guard that is not that far away from you, it is not guaranteed to hit where the laserpointer was on the target. That means you can miss the enemy several times even though you are right on target. That feels terrible and in combination with the removed ability to quicksave and load, it can ruin your stealthy approach rather quickly. The boss fight at the end is quite terrible as well and made my mouse cursor appear over the game as soon as the fight began. All in all, the game has some cool levels in the middle and is overall enjoyable, as long as your are willing to deal with constant performance issues, bugs in various forms and progression loss as the checkpoint system is not nearly as useful as the quicksave system was in the original.

Love how open the map is and how it allows you to approach encounters from whatever angle you want. Unfortunately that's ruined by a combination of bad design choices so despite the massive freedom pre-encounter, every encounter plays out very similarly. The AI's tracking is ridiculous, even on Normal Difficulty, so you're effectively forced into an approach that boils down to: Stealth in, kill a guy or two, run out to regen, rinse and repeat. The movement feels very stiff, too, especially in regards to jump momentum. If you don't get a running start to a jump, you barely move forward.
The ending sequence, starting from the dive into the abyss, was a clusterfuck. I liked the atmosphere and the visuals, but the extremely unfair feeling deaths(fish guys dealing 75% of your health with a charge, freeze rays being able to stunlock you in certain circumstances, etc) spoil it. Another thing that was a huge bummer was the crashes, mostly right before the very end of the flying level.
Overall I was disappointed in how Crysis turned out, after a strong start the latter half let me down. I played the game across two big sessions, and the enjoyment different between the first and the second was quite large.

I tried to play crysis few years ago, played for an hour and shelved it for another day and that day was today!

Pros
+ Good gunplay, lots of guns to experience and have fun with.
+ Variety is very strong. Not all mechanics are totally polished but they all work good enough to give some fun time.
+ Graphics are really good, I mean original one is already looking ver solid but I like what they've done. Techinal side is not the greatest but acceptable.

Cons
- Sandbox Design is dumb, even world is big sometimes game forces you to follow the path even you can easily skip all the walking part.
- Stealth seems pretty useless in normal. Even you try to go silent enemies spot you from behind a wall and you have to start killing.
- Bugs are annoying. Especially the bug that causes final boss to slip away from the ship and makes it unkillable was REALLY ANNOYING.

Summary:
Crysis is a brainless shooter that wants to be more. It fails in some parts but it is solid 6 hours long experience. If you are looking for a FPS game with less elements to think about, play it. If you want to think while you shoot not the best choice tbh.

Really liked it despite it fighting me every step of the way. Real fun stealthy shooter with some wild stuff at the end.

The remaster is glitchy as all hell fwiw. Maybe try to run the original.

The flashes of brilliance towards the end don’t make up for the vapidity of its beginning hours and how janky this “remaster” is.

neat game
i love how open all the levels are and the nanosuit is fun to mess around with
the game does fall off a bit after the aliens show up but its still a good game
sadly i could not run the Can It Run Crysis graphics setting

Crysis is a Video game with gameplay, Voice acting and even with a soundtrack

The final boss made me want to rip my teeth out my skull with my bare hands, but other than that it was a pretty good game

Pretty decent, the only downside I could think of was the story. To be honest it was very hard to care for the characters but what was pretty fun was the gameplay. It’s just a fun sandbox.

Completed remastered version on Hard Difficulty, there were still bugs here and there but nevertheless for a 2007 game, still amazes with visualwise.

Despite playing the original second and third entries years ago, I never played the first one until now. I'd say the game is really fun, with its sandbox nature allowing different ways to play. It's story is exactly what the gameplay offers: epic sci-fi action, and that's enough to enjoy it, like a good action movie, you don't expect any "deepness" to it. There are, however, two major issues that stands out. AI is, from time to time, hilariously bad, and there are graphical glitches occuring occasionally.

A lot, and I mean a loooooot of jank. I have visited this series before (Crysis 3) and quite enjoyed it, expected something similar here and could not get into it at all. Gameplay is pretty bad sadly compared to 3, the mechanics are not utilised very well at all and the story is kinda just whatever.

The opening was pretty intriguing but falls flat with dull characters sadly. Wanted to like this one but I might as well replay Crysis 3 instead.


Barely a game. Some of its effects and visuals are enduringly charming, but this is empty calories. In the harsh light of day 'can it run Crysis?' was a meme that obscured how even the "good" parts of this game are tedious and awkward.

Pretty boring. Didn't really need a remaster, because it just highlights the problems of the original. Bored after 2-3 trophies. I may pick it up later, but slim chances.
