Crysis®

I had this when it first came out, but my system was a bit light to run it properly. A 'friend' borrowed it, and you probably know how that works. When it came on sale just lately, I picked it up and it had to be about the best bargain I ever got. Beautiful visuals, decent story, great gameplay. Well worth full price, even managed to get me away from the Stalker series and its' mods for a while. A bit tempramental to get running, kept crashing from the launcher. Made a shortcut direct to the executable in bin64, no problems. Runs at a steady 60 fps (I always run vsync) with everything maxed out on my aging system -Core 2 duo 3.16, 8 gig of ram, 750ti 2gig video card.

Everyone wrote already everything, yes, I do like the graphics, yes I also do like the jungle-setting, the shooting mechanics, the nano-suit, the almost open-worldish experience. But, still, there are some sections, that are quite frustrating and very long in the teeth, one of these is the alien ship/cave burrier in the mountain. Also, some parts of the games can be very hardware demanding, like the last part, where you have to defend a U. S. military mothership/carrier and fight big aliens. Well, in this section I've had big frame drops and some crashes/freezes. So don't forget, to save manually here and there. I played the game on Core i7 7600, 16GB DDR4 2400 MHz RAM, Windows 10 x64, 480 GB SSD, Geforce GT 1030. My setting were set to gamer @ 1080p and 2x AA. I've got between 40-60 fps. If I try to compare Crysis with Crysis Warhead, for me, the later game/expansion is the better one. Why? Read my review there :) Anyway, I still recommend to everyone, who likes action/FPS/shooter games. It should work on most modern computers in 720p or even more if you have a better graphics.

Pierwsza połowa jest świetna. Odkrywanie możliwości, kombinowanie jak zabić przeciwników na 100 różnych sposobów. Graficznie wciąż ładna, choć widać upływ czasu na teksturach. Potem, robi się trochę nudno, a kiedy pojawiają się kosmici, jest już liniowo i powtarzalnie. Nie wiem z jakiego powodu twórcy zrezygnowali z pół otwartego świata w dalszej części gry na rzecz sztampowych misji (latanie pojazdem, strzelanie z paki ciężarówki, bieganie od punktu do punktu na czas), strzelanie do głupich przeciwników. Nie mogłem pokonać finałowego bosa, bo gra mi się wysypywała podczas walki z nim. Właściwie nawet mi się nie chciało, bo misje z kosmitami są nudne. Aha, i w trakcie jednej z ostatnich misji, gdzie prowadzi się latadełko, gra przycinała mi na Win 7, i5 4460, 16GB DDR3 i GTX 970 :) Ogólnie dla pierwszej połowy warto kupić grę w promocji, gdy jest za te 20zł. A potem jak się zacznie nudzić, można ją z czystym sumieniem wyrzucić z dysku, żeby dobrze ją pamiętać.

As a paying customer, I really shouldn't be asked to troubleshoot my own products. When I try to launch the game, it crashes to desktop without a single error message. Using the repair game files option prompted GOG to download 102 MB of files, but that didn't fix the issue. This is unacceptable customer service. Nobody should be paying for a game they have to fix on their end.

So far, on Windows 10 the game is constantly crashing - it didn't even launch without having to download unofficla c-1 launcher, which fixes the exe files of the game. This should be already done by Gog. After starting playing the game, the game is still crashing randomly - sometimes after 15-30 minutes, sometimes instantly after loading saved game. As I have found on the internet, the crashing of the game is well known fact with multiple workaround being discussed. Yet Gog.com version is plagued by these issues too. As this game can't be even launched with the Gog.com launcher, I can't recommend it.
