Due to the intensity of the gameplay, I'd recommend Crysis 2 as a valid starting point despite a major character from the previous game suffering a dire fate Crysis 3 Remastered - The Actual Urban Jungle Crysis 3 Remastered - Xbox Series X Direct CaptureĪs players begin the third game, it becomes clear that Crysis 3 is more of a direct sequel to the second game than the second game is to the first. My only major gripe is the subway signs, as the signs clearly don't match their real-life counterparts.

The environments look just as amazing as the original, if not more. The transition from long-range open-world combat to close quarters confined in buildings and subways offers a unique spin of the original.Ĭrysis 2 Remastered - Xbox Series X Direct Capture The suit gets another form in "Power," utilizing super strength to take over barricades in the city. Players could actually stealth kill enemies, which is amusing to see the AI run around in circles dealing with a cloaked Alcatraz. This time around, the gun sounds are louder and punchy, opposing the soft sounds they produced before. The player still feels as much of a super-soldier as they did in the previous game. Trading in the lush Philippine jungles to the grimy concrete jungle of New York City, Crysis 2 is an entirely new experience. Throughout all three games, the CryEngine improved with quality that wasn't compromised for console optimization. Once upon a time when I owned an Xbox 360, Crysis 2 was able to "wow me" despite playing on a tiny "HD" tv. Crysis Remastered - Xbox Series X Direct Capture Crysis 2 Remastered - Why Is It Always New York? Crysis 2 Remastered - Xbox Series X Direct CaptureĪpproaching Crysis 2 Remastered, having now played the original Crysis, is an interesting take as the second game was my first title. Even the Switch looked amazing, which serves how well CryEngine holds up to this day. If there was a definitive way to play it'd be on anything but the Switch. It also felt more confident to aim without feeling like I was tempting the fate of my joycon sticks. The controls are easy to grasp on the Xbox Series X controller compared to the dual joycons as there's a lot more room to access the gun menu. The fps remain consistent even in raytracing mode. The game looks as dynamic at night as it does in the day.

Reflections of the gun and the beaches are spot on as well as the foliage. I mentioned before how the memes weren't a joke as they looked good on the Switch. For a game released in 2007, it rivals that of other FPS titles released the same year. I won't spend as much time in this section because of that, but I will say how the game manages to look on the Series X. Crysis 1 Remastered - Deja Vu (We've Been Here Before) Crysis Remastered - Xbox Series X Direct CaptureĪs Crysis 1 Remastered is similar to the Nintendo Switch version we played, it is recommended to read this preview for our thoughts on the game. The goal was to see how they fared on modern consoles, although it's important to note several things. Because of this, we looked at the physical copy of the Xbox Series X version where we tried out all three games. There was a physical limited run of the two games released in November. At the time of this writing, Crysis 2 and 3 are only available digitally. With later titles and its optimization towards consoles, the series shifted towards consistency with each title.Įarlier we looked at the Crysis Remastered Switch version, which wasn't included as part of the Trilogy bundle. The Crysis trilogy began as a technical marvel so big it sprouted the infamous "Can It Run Crysis?" meme. Crytek, best known outside of Crysis as the original developers behind Far Cry, have opted to rest on their laurels and celebrate the series that made them rise to stardom. Although the three titles were already made available on each platform listed, a physical copy of the trilogy was released in October.
