Crysis®

Never played this game when everyone else was talking about it. I couldn't dream of affording a computer that can run Crysis. GOG once again makes gaming magic possible. I was reluctant to pick it up because EA, but this game won't require you to wrestle with their hot garbage launcher Origin. I'd get this ASAP.

Game is still broken, crashes on start up.

Crysis is an amazing looking and playing open fps experience. If you enjoyed games like the first Far Cry then this game is basically its spiritual successor. Every second of this game is enjoyable and you can play it over and over again in different ways. I honestly don't know why you're still reading you should own this asap.

This game still looks great, in 2022! (Except textures that are very low resolution at some places, which is a bit odd.) Sneaking around in the dense djungles is amazing, and the physics in this game is way better than most newer games - very cool! You can even demolish/level the smaller houses, knocking down walls and pillars and having it all come down with individual physics on all parts! Game is great and tense at its best moments, but mostly it's just over the top action and not much story. As others in here I also had some crashes, maybe 5-10 during my playthrough. Worst place I had to replay 5 minutes or so... Still a cool game though, buy it on 75% sale or so, definitely worth it!

I'm quite late to the party, but as the remaster seems to be a mixed bag I thought I should get the original while I still can. And almost 15 years after release, it holds up really well. Granted, I haven't played many AAA games from the last, let's say decade, so I'm not that used to "modern" graphics, though Crysis still looks fantastic, especially in 4K. The first half is really, really good, with a semi-open world and a lot of freedom in how a situation is approached. There is also some variation in missions and an overall great atmosphere. The second half is, well, average. Spoilers, I guess: It's Aliens. And it becomes a pretty mediocre shooter with little variation. It's not bad, but so much worse than what came before. By the way, this game works with DXVK on Windows, wich gave me a nice FPS boost.
