Crysis®

This game really does a good job of making you feel like some futuristic navy seal. The combat suit is very creatively designed and fun to use. The guns also pack a punch in this game and the enemies react to being hit in a way that is pretty satisfying. If they had stayed in the direction of making an imaginative futuristic stealth game, and focused on making fun creative stealth missions in the same vein as Chaos Theory or Hitman Blood Money, this franchise would have been way better. Instead they chose to make it a more linear action game like the halo franchise. Which made you think the company didnt really understand what made crysis 1 unique and interesting. You dont feel like a navy seal in the games after this one, you just feel like some bland master chief-esque character, but with less creative level and enemy design than that of the halo franchise. Overall this is a decent game with some really good gameplay ideas, the only problem with this one is the story goes in a horrible direction.

This version is not playable on Windows 11, it seems.

It only runs with the launcher from github ccomrade/c1-launcher/releases and then it doesnt even work with ultrawide monitors. Only in resolutions you never seen before. Not a good start. Playing it 10 minutes shows you how badly this game aged over the years.

I enjoyed this game in the past but now with a GTX 1070 and Ryzen 5 1600 I can't get at least stable 60 fps, it drops dramaticaly in firefight, a lot of stuttering with no reason and I'm a little bit angry, the campaign is great and the gunplay is amazing but I can enjoy it 100%. I hope in the future Crytek optimize this game with Ryzen CPU.

I bought this game from hearing people talking about this absolutely incredible, legendary masterpiece that is Crysis! (and the jokes, too) Now, I've played and beaten this game on hard difficulty. Challenging, if you ask me. I took note of things in-game that amazes me. One section of the gameplay involves, as you can see in the description above, moving in a zero gravity environment. It was actually disorienting. Add to that your GPS is offline, sometimes I got confused where to go! I'm currently replaying this game in Delta difficulty (the hardest one where enemies talk Korean language (I don't understand Korean language (I wish I could))), and it's even more challenging! Enemies are capable of killing you in a few shots, even if your suit is in armor mode. And no crosshair, so aim with iron sights. But I improvised. By driving a car, engaging the cloak, and switched to the mounted gun seat whenever I'm close to enemies. All they see is an empty car and they're no wiser than that. I could talk all day about the minor experiences in this game, but I'm not going to waste my time here. All I could say is that I'm amazed on how they made a game that stays good until the time this game takes place on, August 14th, 2020! It's as if they predicted the future, minus the nanosuits and the aliens. And now they're making the remastered edition. I have never seen and will not see any more games that can keep up with the standards... to 13 years ahead since release!
