Very nice story, easy platforming puzzles, all around great. Couple tears at the end <;(
First one was cute until the last boss, which was kind of BS. The second one went off the rails trying to build a story around a concept, instead of the other way around. Boring and gimmicky as can be.

Pet the dog for 30 min, discover you are an archery god, then leave and don't come back.

Appallingly short, but its worth it to play just the highway level.

Look. Your basic attack it the home run bat from Super Smash Bros, and the charge attack is a giant piercing lazer that goes WHOOOMPP. You have a cyber horse. The game's worth playing just for that, right?
I downloaded a cheat engine so I could blast through the third playthrough and I am not ashamed. Good story, but maybe not good enough for 3.5 full playthroughs.

Why won't they give me the portal gun. Cowards.

Aww yeah this shit is SO clean.
The best written main character of potentially all of media, I think.
Anime ass game convinces me it's anime, then a crime drama, then anime again. Was great.
Not a fan of the series typically, but I saw it had a lot of praise. Still not a fan of the series. There's just a lot of meaningless stuff for you to do everywhere. The improvements that all the little itty bitty tasks give don't feel proportional to the increase in power or progression in story that they should. Writing was fine to good, from what I played. Very fleshed out world. Starting from here in the series was a little confusing, but they did an ok job at letting me know what was going on. To summarize, it was made by EA, so....

Good platforming, better ideas, GODLY writing. Super clever in a lot of ways. I played the steam release so a lot of problems were fixed, and I beat the final level in one go, so don't mind those reviews if you are planning to play on steam.
This review was written before the game released
Played the demo, so so far all I can say is that: 1) There is some JUICY lore here. 2) It has its stylistic choices, and it sticks with them no matter what. Which I can respect.

Holds up well enough, but definitely feels like it was made in 2008. I got bored at how slow it was, even at "max speed", so I cheated in a lot of speed and instantly the game was turned from a cover shooter into an actually enjoyable experience. The maps are really big, so it felt great zooming around, and there's something supremely satisfying about speed in Crysis.

Holds up better than I expected! My first time going through, and after just beating Crysis 1 I can see why people prefer this one much more. I was a bit sad that they took away maximum speed though, even if the smaller levels do warrant it.
