Crysis®

the game is great for the first half or so, spoiler alert......... When the aliens come out all the fun is over and it turns into running back and forth in the open while shooting up at alien shit, no more sneaking, no more tactics, no more fun.

This game is broken cant launch it without crashing to a black screen

This game is really good, anybody who loves FPS should play it. It's my first time playing it on GOG and it took me 15 hours on the harder difficult. Amazing game.

The game is totally unplayable, launches to a black screen then crashes. I've tried everything from verifying/repair to deleting and reinstalling the game and nothing works.

It's a hard game to review because it's not really a game as much it is a tech demo. The gun play isn't anything special, the ai is mediocre at best and the suit powers are far too fleeting to ever have any fun with. This is very much a stealth focused game and at times it captures the essence of Predator or Rambo. Crawling through grass, cloak engaged, sniping someone in the head and watching allies panic. It's very compelling and at the time of release, I would imagine expectations were a bit lower. Now though, the ai breaks any immersion. Getting shot at from a mile away while you hide in the brush by a gun boat is oof. No fun. Meanwhile I have a pile of bodies over here and people keep walking into my line of sight just waiting to join them. It's never a "will he see me or won't he see me" in a fun way like thief, it almost always feels like the ai are blind as bats or they are cheating. Never any inbetween. I can't reccomend it to anyone who hasn't already played it. You can do better, graphically, stealth wise and cool powers wise. For those who have though, This is still a nice looking game with spots of great atmosphere and immersion, just try not to look behind the curtain to preserve those rose tinted glasses.
