Crysis®

Crysis inherited the solid core gameplay from Far Cry + the suit abilities which includes also the possibility to modify your weapons to your liking with enhancements you so far gathered in the field. Many things are destructable in this game,not just trees,and you can grab things - even enemys - and throw them. The players mobility is well done in this game and additionaly you can use vehicles of all sorts. Basicly the first half of the game consists of more or less large levels that functions as sandboxes. You have your objectives,but large freedom is given to you on how to tackle them. The second half of the game is way more linear and ends as a corridorhooter on an aircraft carrier. So its a balanced mix of different fps styles. The game has not a epic length. A decently skilled player will need around 12-15 hour to complete it. However,there is a ton of well done fanmade maps out there,that prolongs the fun for many hours more. Mostly available nowdays at ModDB,like for example Nuclear Cataclysm. Personaly Crysis is still after all those years one of my favourite fps,simply because its core gameplay is nicely done.

Apparently this game will not work well on some Windows 10 machines so I decided to play it on a later generation Windows 7 PC equipped with an i7-970 6 core CPU, 24GB RAM, 1TB SSD and upgraded with an RTX 2060 GPU. Windows 10 will not install on most X58 chipset PCs anyways. GOG allows you to download a DRM free version of the game and install it on many older systems. Crysis is one of those games which happens to benefit the most from this functionality. It was just the right mix of "not too old, not too recent and powerful enough" combination of hardware and OS to get fantastic results. PCs of that era (2011-2016) can now be purchased used for pennies these days. The game will play at more than 60 fps with all the audio and graphics settings set to maximum quality. A far better experience than when I first played the game back in 2008. If you can then do show this amazing game to younger PC gamers so they can see with their own eyes how Crysis altered the PC market when it came out and why for nearly 3 years all computer dealers were being asked all day long "but can it run Crysis ?" !! IMHO, the original version is better than the remastered one because the physics are far more realistic and the graphics are not so dated when you can use the highest possible settings. Play at 1080p for the best experience. Lower resolutions will provide less quality and higher resolutions aren't well supported. UPDATE : A new C1launcher has been included (forcefully) with this game it now it won't work with Windows 7. IMHO this is a bad decision not to give the choice. Fortunately for me, I purchased Crysis and Crysis Warhead at the same time and backed up both to BD-R M-Disc when I did. Not every buyer has this luck.

I decided to try out this game after hearing about it online being praised to bits. The first half of the game was very disappointing, way below my expectations. Just a standard sniper experience of picking off enemies standing around houses, like any other sniper missions game. Except you use an assault rifle for the most of it. This went on for quite a while. Really boring, I almost wanted to quit, but forced myself to continue. What was quite the surprise to me, was the attention to detail. For example, palm trees break where you shoot them, you being able to pick up things, throw them, shoot chickens, throw chickens, and the physics in general. Then the game started to become interesting around the point of you entering the mine and meeting the aliens. They fly around and attack you, and it gets much more brutal with time. It really deviated from the stock experience and I had quite a blast. There are some sections in the game where you die constantly to the same enemies, even on normal difficulty, which I don't necessarily see as a bad thing, as it adds to the variety of the game. Oh and the boss fights were epic. Extra tip: Run the DX9 exe for it to have 4:3 aspect ratio, or else it will be stretched. Sadly the game crashes sometimes. All in all, a good game, but a bit overhyped. But maybe for 2007 that's the most epic sh*t people have ever seen.

The Game doesnt start at all. Nothing I do brings it to work. Saw that a lot of people have trouble with crashes. This needs to bne fixed.

I tried running it but it wont work, i tried running it in different modes but still nothing
