Crysis®

I complete this game with two days. Its original, have nice graphics and good atmosphere. But is buggy at the end and I dont have that good feelings about defeating big, bad, terrible looking aliens. But it was FUN. A original game indeed.

ok. one of the best games ever

It can't even start. Verified it, updated it, nothing. Too bad.

Was not sure how it runs on modern PC´s cause i had read about some problems on modern systems.. So i contacted the GOG suport before i buyed it and asked them if the reports i had read are true and they told me: There are no & there should be no issues with my System:Win10 ryzen r5 2600-nvidia gefore gtx 960 . and yep they was right. Summary. Still looks awesome after all these Years. The Gog version runs on modern systems without any issues.

This was mostly an engine tech showcase that attempted to present all that the engine could do - be it by its environments and lighting effects or different controls schemes with vehicles. Game does everything OK overall. Great graphics and lasts quite a few hours, with quick load times from SSD and widescreen support so it can shine (even without mods) with its textures that -mostly- hold up to this day overall. But ultimately performance remains poor for such an old game and basically the original experience from release can be experienced on recent hardware at higher resolutions. Gorgeous especially at 4K with everything maxed out (hitting anything from 24 and generally between to 45- 64 FPS up to 90 FPS max. 1440p gets you better FPS but barely - with 70 FPS easily reached on an AMD 5700XT. However game wasn’t memorable; I barely recalled moments from it except the gameplay mechanics and mostly the beginning and end of the game. Issues: Lost over an hour on a map to end up finding that there was a bug not triggering an event - reported by others as well - requiring to restart the whole level. Got to love that I was able to kill a boss slightly after getting the issue above - by merely hitting him over and over with my fists (without Strength) without getting hit a single time. That part made my day! In retrospective maps were way too big in particular in the jungle - but interestingly the scale of the map don’t appear to impact game performance. To enjoy, play easier modes if you never played; at hard difficulty level the action felt quite oppressive at times and AI gets randomly quite deadly. I had to cheese some section (sometime out of boredom) so the pace of the game might not be for everyone. Tip: Had graphics issues and had to ALT-TAB a few times to return to the game with a fluid screen (as if there was an alternative way the game renders the visuals or problematic effects that otherwise made the screen content lag – all with the same FPS).
