Amazing first half, average second
I'm quite late to the party, but as the remaster seems to be a mixed bag I thought I should get the original while I still can. And almost 15 years after release, it holds up really well. Granted, I haven't played many AAA games from the last, let's say decade, so I'm not that used to "modern" graphics, though Crysis still looks fantastic, especially in 4K. The first half is really, really good, with a semi-open world and a lot of freedom in how a situation is approached. There is also some variation in missions and an overall great atmosphere. The second half is, well, average. Spoilers, I guess: It's Aliens. And it becomes a pretty mediocre shooter with little variation. It's not bad, but so much worse than what came before. By the way, this game works with DXVK on Windows, wich gave me a nice FPS boost.
