Cons:
* Still have't fixed the bug with the door at the first hack point - if you rebind keys to anything custom the door won't open. Idiotic. Not sure how you miss something this glaring during testing.
* Development studio took the Epic Fail Store bribe and locked the game down to Epic for the first year - this translates to me never buying the game and playing it somewhere else. ICons:

* Development studio took the Epic Fail Store bribe and locked the game down to Epic for the first year - this translates to me never buying the game and playing it somewhere else. I would have bought the game on day one to support the studio if it had launched on Steam. Their loss.
* Hacking is broken in the remaster. From doors not working if you've re-bound certain keys, to all of your suit energy draining as soon as you initiate a hack (which means you de-cloak while in the line of fire...). This con alone indicates that there is no way they play-tested the game. You cannot rebind certain keys or it will break certain progressions altogether. Many people bind "F" to melee which causes tons of issues. Never ever hard-code a key to certain functions, developers. This is common knowledge at this point.
Pros:
* The remaster graphics are fantastic - game also feels like it runs smoother, too. Crysis 3 is easily my favorite of the series. Always loved the survival type environment inside the dome. They really nailed the setting.
* Optimization for the VRAM management is really well-done - In 4K Resolution with nearly everything at maximum settings, the game only uses around 5.5-7.0GB of VRAM which is fantastic. This is even less than Crysis 2 Remastered uses.
Game Length: ~8-12 hours.
