Crysis Remastered Reviews
In conclusion, Crysis Remastered is a good time, but unfortunately it does suffer from not only having some disruptive glitches, but also in the gameplay itself. The game, while still enjoyable, shows a lot of age in its design. The core gameplay loop of fighting, then looting, then fighting some more still works, but since then many games have come out that takes this loop and makes it much more enjoyable. The old timey story of the super soldier vs. the world also suffers as plenty of players have heard of such a story so many times by this point in the history of video games.
Quote Typically, remasters are also synonymous with the ‘ultimate’ version of a game, and I thought Crysis Remastered was going to be just that — the most complete, best-looking, modernized-as-needed version of the thirteen year old gem. Instead, what is available currently is a half-baked remaster based on the 2011 console version, with no multiplayer, no Warhead expansion, and is an overall mixed-leaning-rough package that should give players pause if they have the option to get the game on PCnot yet available
While I wouldn't say that Crysis is at the absolute upper echelon of FPS titles it certainly has its adherents...
Crysis Remastered is not a bad game but getting on a lot in years. If you can live with a generic AI, some technical hiccups and don't think you'll get a graphical surprise as back in the day on PC you'll still get a solid shooter from the oldschool days.

This year we saw lots of Remastered, Remake and even Reboot productions. Compared to these, we can say that the features and graphics of Crysis Remastered are very satisfactory.

It still is a great shooter, but it undoubtedly shows its age. The graphical improvements are just anecdotic.

If you have fond memories of Crysis and wish to play it again but with better visuals on the format of your choice, you’ll probably get some enjoyment out of Crysis Remastered. Well, unless your favourite thing about it was the multiplayer – that’s been ripped out.
The 2007 shooter returns loaded with countless visual enhancements, as well as being once again relevant as a benchmark tool. Although with some rough mechanics, the fun is still there, and visiting the Lingshan Islands has never been so vibrant.

Crysis Remastered lives up to its name by putting even the most modern and performing hardware under pressure. All in all, the graphical makeover is pretty competent, despite some smudges here and there.

This game is still amusing, but remaster seems to be half-finished and with too high system requirements.

Crysis Remastered is more of a capsule from a simpler time of the first-person shooting genre. Playing is undoubtedly fun because of the various things that players can do, with the inclusion of tight gunplay and engaging missions. However, I can’t help but wish for a complete remake because the age of this adventure holds it back from being anything more than a way for us to show our kids the terrible mechanics and AI that we used to put up with.
Crysis still holds up as a fun and exciting popcorn style action game that is an excellent addition to anyone's library.
Crysis was a technical marvel thirteen years ago, and in some respects still is. It was the game to beat in terms of graphics and benchmarks for so many years. Crysis Remastered tries to insert itself into that conversation again, but it’s just not there yet. It’s clear that Crytek and Saber Interactive have made some mistakes here, with removing features deemed essential to the experience, cutting a level inexplicably, and making visual changes that affect the mood. It’s not a mediocre remaster, just disappointing and hamstrung in places you wouldn’t expect. Crysis Remastered is still a solid science-fiction shooter sandbox, lacking things that are supposed to be the barometer of PC gaming excellence in favor for what seems to be console compromises.
A remastered version that improves some graphics aspects of the original and preserves its gameplay, but is plagued by poor optimization and suffer bad framerates even on the most powerful hardware.

Crysis Remastered enhances the appearance of a prodigy that in 2007 deterred millions of players around the world with its greed for performance. Those who saw their dreams shattered at the time can now easily run this re-proposal on their computer, which struggles to innovate, leaving ample room for the qualities, but above all the limits, of the original work.

Crysis Remastered is not a lazy and indolent re-edition, of those carried out only to make money and finance more important projects. This is evidenced by the commitment shown by Crytek in creating a completely new technique to bring, for the first time ever, ray tracing on the consoles of the current generation. Unfortunately, however, the result of these efforts fails to fully satisfy the senses of the players, and ends up highlighting other aspects of the technical sector much less exciting.

CRYSIS Remastered is fun to play but its very much dated now and the issues this has only makes it stand out far more which is why it would have been better to have remastered all the series for the same asking price rather than just the first game and showing that this 2007 game, even with 2020 shine applied to it, still feels and plays like a 2007 game.
But with all these setbacks, perhaps the age old question of 'Can you run Crysis?' should be refrained. Maybe we should instead be asking, why would you want to?
Crysis: Remastered is a nice trip down memory lane but pails when compared to more modern games in terms of enjoyment as I think a new game in the series would have been better.
I’m glad I was able to dive back into a game I genuinely consider to be one of my favourite shooters from back in the day. It feels a little more cliché now than it did back in 2007, but you can still see why Crysis was able to make such a name for itself. With more than serviceable gameplay and narrative, Crysis Remastered is worth a play for those who are yet to check this title out. Although with visuals that feel a little underwhelming, I wonder if those who already own the original would get much out of this remaster.
