Crysis®

As a technical achievement this game still holds up beautifully ten years after it's initial release. Purely from a gameplay perspective however, things aren't so positive. Firstly the weapons, probably the most important thing to get right in an FPS, feel underwhelming and underpowered. Even later firearms with names like gauss canon that do a lot of damage, still FEEL like they don't and that's an issue. Guns, especially the powerful ones in the end game, should feel satisfying to shoot. Crysis gives you a nuke to fire and still manages to make it into a boring event. This issue extends to the player himself as well. You might be in a nano armor power suit, it never FEELS like it. You can only take a couple of hits before you'll have to leg it towards the nearest cover. Sure the suit has abilities such as a cloak function and extra strength but the first one drains battery so fast you might as well not bother and the second one lets you jump a little higher...whoo-hoo...I guess. If you were hoping for a power fantasy you won't find it here. Is this a bad game? No. But I went in with high expectations since this is considered a classic and I came out 4 hours later thoroughly underwhelmed. To put it in Immortan Joe's words: "Mediocre!"

Yeaaaaah sorry (this is a favorite childhood game...) But if digging around for hours on Reddit forums and installing 3rd party launchers and custom scripts won't get this thing to run sorry I'm out... I don't plan on spending a weekend to fix your software. Please refund :)

does not open at all

I remember back in the day i was one of few that could play it on next to max settings. I was blown away at the time by physics-accelerated enviroment, impressive graphics. Going back to this is still good as i remember it. 4/5 since it't pretty short and also prett easy even on Delta diffcitulty.

This game is can be easeally considered the progenitor of most of today semi open world shooter. The first part of the game is a blast! Loads of enemies, big levels, the ability to be super stealthy or go in gun blazing. Unfortunately the second half is mostly crap. The Koreans get substituted by some very generic flying polyps which look like their shooting glass shards. Their annoying to fight, you cant have the same strategic approach as before and the levels become just boring shooting gallery like a COD. If it was not for this second boring repetitive part the game would have been perfect. Its however not too long.
