Thierry Nyugen of GameTap begins his review by writing,
"Many people think of Crysis as 'the spiritual sequel to Far Cry,' and while that is quite accurate, I prefer to think of it as 'Crytek's tribute to alien invasion and action movies from the late '80s and early '90s.' When you're not shooting, you're watching cinematic cutscenes featuring terse, straightforward dialogue that wouldn't be out of place in movies like Commando, Rambo, Aliens, or Predator. Combine those scenes with open-ended combat and gorgeous visuals, and you have an interactive version of the pure action combat experience of those movies."
A Crysis VR mod is now available for download, allowing users to experience the first entry in the series in VR
No one cares. The whole can it run Crysis is old, dead and stupid. It's also irrelevant, considering only less than one percent of pc owners, own a high-end PC. Second, I believe Crysis wasn't even optimized properly.
Let's hope the modders can get the other Crysis games working in VR as they use the same Cryengine.
GF365: "There are some games with extraordinary visuals that impress us to this day. Here are old games with outstanding graphics."
I always thought the first 3 Gears of War games looked great and still hold up for today.
Far Cry 2 was awesome. In addition to having demonstrably better physics and AI than later games in the series, it had a lot of design decisions that, criticized at the time, have since been praised in games like BOTW and Dark Souls.
It might not be super amazing by today's standard but I thought Mgs3 looked really good
Digital Foundry: "When Alex Battaglia got his hands on a Steam Deck, this was inevitable, right? So can the Steam Deck really run Crysis? And if so, what type of optimised settings produce the best performance? What's the best balance of features and battery life... and what about 60fps?"
