Title
Crysis - Nintendo Switch
Wish people didn't just see this game as "haha can it run crysis" because this game is actually a ton of fun. For the first half at least. I genuinely think the design for the first half of the game is fantastic, just being given a complete sandbox and being told to get to the other side, given complete freedom on how you want to do that. It's a ton of fun. Picking up soldiers and throwing them at each other, tossing a grenade into a building and watching it completely be decimated, sneaking through hostile territory, its a blast. Too bad after the half way point, the game completely drops the sandbox level design, replacing it with boring missions with zero replay value. However, whenever I get a Crysis craving, I just play the first half and have a blast. The Switch port is extremely impressive, with it looking fantastic and even having some lighting features the original never had. Very fun game to just screw around in.

Title
basically only existed to push pc graphics to the next level
too bad they really fucked up gameplay design

helicopters that always know your position and force you to reload dozens of times until you find an rpg
bullet sponge enemies with suits
generally really retarded AI
the whole alien spinoff plot was awful and brutally uninteresting, made me miss killing koreans
pacing sucks ass, you basically never have to fight anyone or do anything but run to the objective UNLESS: theres a helicoptor after you
really shit vehicle sections

seriously the only good thing about this is the graphics and the combat is just barely passable every other design decision is god awful generally.

5/10

Title
Crysis is a sandbox FPS game, where the gameplay is only as limited as the imagination of the player. You play as a Delta Force operator equipped with a "nano suit", an advanced military weapon capable of granting the user both offensive and defensive abilities. You are so well-equipped to handle combat situations it is kind of unfair to the enemy. The game gives you a lot of freedom in how you negotiate each situation presented to you. My preferred method was stealth, despite the fact I overwhelmingly despise stealth elements in video games. Sneaking past dozens of enemies without firing a shot was a thrill few video games have ever given me.

Despite this, the game is average at best. The gunplay is bad, and a little bit too polished. The second half of the game that thrusts you into a full-on war scenario was very uninteresting.

Title
Prey or predator
I was fortunate enough to be able to run crysis in the year it came out, and it was really a technical marvel. Not only that, but the enemy AI combined with the powers of your suit and semi open mission structure allowed for some really enjoyable exploration of the game mechanics. You felt like a predator.

Unfortunatly, this game has a second half of the campaign, which is really poor. It has a zero gravity level that is a bore to get through, and then it proceeds to throw a new enemy type that doesnt feel fun to play against. It also becomes extremely linear and loses the stealth aspects of the game.

So yea first half is a 4, but the second half is a 2.5.

The game also has a multiplayer mode, in which everyone has access to the suit power's. It features large maps similar to Battlefield, and its usually objective based. Its a neat diversion, but nothing more.

    To this day I keep waiting for another game that will blow everything else out of the water as hard as this did back in 2007. This game is 16 years old and (remaster aside) it still looks very good and not just for its time. It took years before a mid range computer could comfortably run this. I would love for some other game to come out and just say fuck your computers this is my territory again. Still waiting.
