(Disclaimer: Played this via PS5 with backwards compatibility, so I don’t have much to complain about performance on consoles)
Despite not having smooth gunplay, a few missions dragging on, and the final boss is terrible. I still had a pretty good time with Crysis 1 despite its rough edges due to the free flow structure which combined with these nanosuit abilities carries holds the combat together to be fun as hell despite not controlling smoothly even when I’m fighting against the aliens which I know is a hot take.
It's also no secret that this game is a technical marvel to look at, but I like that it isn’t just all about the graphics. It also showcases the crazy physics that makes stuff like throwing objects or enemies much more satisfying or chaotic. Overall, I’m happy to have checked out this game years later after hearing so much about it and I mostly don’t regret my time with it.
