Solid Shooters and Incredible Graphics
Really looking forward to future yearly GOG anniversary releases now! Another great year of important game releases/preservation from GOG. Like many games I'll double-dip as they release on GOG, it is by far my preferred platform for reasons which are becoming more and more obvious for everyone - 'own' what you buy, don't rent it! About the Games: Renowned as a technical breakthrough in computer graphics at the time (and serving as a benchmark for your machine to test it's performance!) -all x3 of these games are very solid shooters - with iterative differences between them. I have not played these remasters at the time of writing but have played the originals. Assuming that the original game play has been faithfully preserved -and with EVEN better graphics on display here - then they are a brilliant pickup especially on discount. All deserve to be preserved. The series has a logical progression -the first game is effectively more of a sandbox -with the second game sitting between it and the third game which has tighter levels/scenarios. The 3rd game is more intense/shorter than the previous two. All games are re-playable adding some value because of the different stealth suite /approaches / weapons you can use. I can't comment on multiplayer since I didn't play that - nor the mods that have emerged since, but a quick search shows that mods are available for these newer remasters as well -if interested, search for Crysis remaster on the nexus mods web site. If you are considering moving to Linux gaming: Using GOG games through Heroic Games launcher will even store your saves in the GOG cloud using windows games... Check out ProtonDB to see if your games will run on Linux before buying (increasingly, most will nowadays -so long as they don't contain DRM or incompatible/invasive anti-cheat code. I'm happy to confirm that all three of these Crysis games run with at least Gold/Platinum compatibility on Linux.
