Crysis®

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

This is game is really fun and gorgeous, the battle with the tanks made the graphics act a little funny. But it crashes more often than not when i load or save. quicksave this game a lot

The game is beautiful but it's basically unplayable for me as it crashes too many times. It's odd that this game is still sold in this state. Good parts of the game are that the graphics are very nice and the enemies are actually challenging and require you to change tactics to complete objectives. The negatives however are that it has poor optimization, the game crashes too many times and for some reason framerate is capped at fullscreen. The gunplay is also pretty whack. Unless you're ready to troubleshoot and fix the game-breaking bugs yourself, I advise not playing the game. Unfortunate!

Thematically one of the best immersive action games I've ever played. One of the few games that the physics in-game actually helps you during gameplay. Like destroying entire houses, exploding towers with snipers. I love the idea of approaching however you like, whether stealth mode on camo entering a safe place to defeat every enemy or go berserk. I like how reactive the environment is to your actions. The leaves moving while walking, the wind actually taking place in gameplay, how realistic water looks. The game design lets you do everything you can think of, from br4eaking cranes that can eliminate enemies below or dropping some fuel tanks to a helicopter. However, itr definitely shallows right after you enter the mountain. Alien encounters are mediocre at best and simple point and shoot, so much so that it throws away every gameplay you learned. Which it could be great on paper for the narrative like feeling helpless with alien tech, but it all breaks down to hiding, shooting a lot and hiding again. Boss fight was frustrating and the rescue mission with Prophet are laughable, Ashley in OG RE4 is way more useful. Plus, it really hurts to see the narrative being thrown with heroism, while it was the dumb guy in charge of the ship, the one who started in the first place. There's no philosophical and melancholic journey like Halo, but a pure physics and immersion sim spectacle. it is good enough to at least play it once.
