Crysis®

Not much to say here.The visuals, sandbox gameplay and narrative puts the modern shit - shooters to shame.I'm really thankful about the drm free release.keep up the good work gog

I remember buying a brand new computer just for this game. I just knew it was good before it even came. It got top notch action, well blend of realism and sci-fi. You can also play it how you want: Stealthy or Rambo. Huge maps, many ways of traversing and doing objectives. The game looks amazing even to this day. You can also find improved A.I and graphic mods to make it even better. 10 / 10 !!! A must buy if you love action

For the longest time I avoided this game because the premise seemed dull and the graphics were so ridiculously high class my junky machine from the time couldn't hope to render one frame. Now years later it looks AND plays better than Far Cry 3 in my opinion. It's not the most interesting story but it does have a lot of personality and many many options. You can make adjustments to weapons you find, you can adjust how your nano-suit uses it's power for various abilities, you have a zoomable map you can call up whenever you want, you can drive vehicles...it's all standard by now but at the time it was revolutionary. And it all looks VERY pretty. The sound scape immerses you in the tropical waters and jungles and everywhere there's wildlife from fish to turtles to crabs. This is the kind of effortless tech demo where an attack boat will blast a palm tree to splinters, a fallen enemy will be swarmed by crabs, an enemy noticing you will fire a flare to mark your last position but none of this is 'scripted' it just happens as the game progresses and didn't happen the same way in every play through. The main issue with this game I found was that enemies are psychic. If you don't take them down in one perfect silenced shot they will know where you are immediately and stealth is pointless. They do maneuver intelligently, flanking your position an hiding behind cover, but because of this you will feel surprisingly in peril with just a couple of soldiers as they will pour automatic fire onto you and destroy any cover you're hiding behind. But this is almost a Zen game. You play to see what happens next, what new trick the developers tossed in to impress. It does seem to run very well on my machine which chugs trying to get Far Cry 3 to run on lower specs and outright refuses to play F.E.A.R. Crysis is worth revisiting if you like a sandbox approach that's more hands-off and less about finding towers and more about admiring sunsets.

Legendary Game....I still enjoy playing this. Everyone remember when it was a big deal if your PC could run this game smoothly, or if it could even run it at all?? Probably the "best looking game" ever made at the time of it's original release. If you haven't played this, or wish to go back and revisit this game, the sale price is more than well worth it. "Cloak Engaged."

First half: cloak, crawl and run. Second half: watch, babysit and run. But yeah, first part is fun. Worth the 1 dollar I paid for.
