    Good game, excelent graphic, many weapons to use, but the singleplayer is too short, finished it only in about 7 hours, the story was good but too short.

    I really enjoyed this game though it was a little short. However it is still a very nice shooter title and I would gladly recommend it and the first game in the series to people who wants some action and a nice story.

    Despite the flaws inherent in the Crysis games I’ve enjoyed every one of them, and CRYSIS 3 is perhaps the best. The graphics are, unsurprisingly, top notch, and the domed NYC is full of stunning detail. The character models are excellent, as are the facial animations, and the physics are impressive, as one would expect from the CryEngine. The voice acting is also strong throughout. All these factors lead to a rich and deeply immersive experience. The combat is always fun and ranges from the intense to the more nuanced, and this, along with the introduction of the bow and a more refined and simplified nanosuit, help to make stealth a satisfying option in some sections of the game. As for the aforementioned flaws; well they remain the same as with previous Crysis games, and relate mainly to the story. As before the story behind C3 is under-developed and fails to engage to any great extent. This is also the most linear of all the games, although I don’t see that as a fault -- there are plenty of open world games out there and not all games are suited to the format. It’s a pity that Crytek’s games never quite lived up to the promise of their excellent game engine. And yet despite this the Crysis games are impressive in their own way and deserve their place in the pantheon of modern video games. And at least CryEngine lives on.    … Expand

    The first an most important aspect to mention about Crysis 3 is this. Straight away you receive the bow, get used to it! It is the single most important part of the game.

It is the single most important part of the game. The second point get used to scanning with the visor opened. (The key is 'B' default.) From there you can see easily where to retrieve impact arrows. You will also see arrow ammo caches. Plus you'll scan for nano-suit upgrade tech.

    The reason the bow is so important is because the game is brutal without it. It's a one-shot kill mostly and you can stay cloacked when firing. I played it on the fourth of the five difficulty settings, Super-Soldier, (no crosshair and have to aim down sights). Without the bow I died almost endlessly, but persevered on. Second play I played Veteran (middle difficulty), and used the bow. In places which took hours and maybe thirty deaths without the bow, I passed first time with the bow.

    The graphics astound on full settings. They rock, mindboggling, superb, cool beyond belief. (The graphics max with maximum 8xAA which is all the game has, with the GTX970 4GB.

    However some scenes still alias badly. I found using 1440p DSR (with 1080p monitor) and 4 MSAA worked well at clearing up aliasing. It takes out the dazzling effect from a lot of the bad areas. The problem is the fine details in many scenes. They have added straight lines to almost everything in indoor scenes, and everywhere they dazzle with aliasing. However I found the single GTX 970 struggled slightly at that depth of graphics demand in the intense moments. I had to revert back to 1080p and 8MSAA. It was also because every time I restarted the game in 1440p the menus were all zoomed in.

    The story is brilliant so I don't understand the complaint at that. The action is solid and the guns and shooting good.

    I had an issue with the training. It is narrated/guided by a woman with no respect for the genre of game type. She clearly has a sarcastic attitude to sci-fi tech in games.

    The final a other point which I knock a mark off for it the final boss. Everything went wrong with it. On my first play on Super-soldier I left it without completing the game, after about fifty tries. Second play I beat it but with stressful difficulty. Firstly there's a bit of speech and you can't fire in this time. However many times I could not fire after. There's a bug. I'd be standing mashing mouse 1 for five minutes and nothing. It seems to hint that you should use ceph nano-tech power packs to get going. Anyway after about twenty-five attempts on Veteran I finally beat the boss. About twelve hours steady play.    … Expand

    Crysis was worth the 55 Euro´s that I´ve paid for it. The game has excellent graphics and a very nice understandable story for players who have never played the other Crysis games. I would recommend this game to everyone!

    Well i bought this for what it is: A rare shooter mechanic and a good multiplayer.
    Even if my laptop didn't fullfill the recommended Statistics it's possible to play there if you have something better than a GT 640LE and a dual core i7, but it has there much reduced graphics to run.

    Even if my laptop didn't fullfill the recommended Statistics it's possible to play there if you have something better than a GT 640LE and a dual core i7, but it has there much reduced graphics to run.
    Now ask yourself another question if you wanna buy this:
    Do i like to be completly stealth or have armor on demand and is a normal shooter too boring in mechanics well grab this one. The multiplayer offers more game modes than you might think with cell vs rebel fighting as human and non regenerating health or do the classical one with all abilities and exchangeable perks system.
    Choose between team- or normal deathmatch, capture the unmoveable flag at spear mode or steal the enemy relais while they do the same or with fixed roles (defender attacker) by playing exfiltration. Very assymetrical is the information download and well it's not really much played at all. A fun thing is the Hunter mode where it feels like playing hide and seek with guns... I played it for hours in a row but i must admit i'm not a full time shooter player.

    Now to the campain review:
    pro:

    + Excellent graphics
    + Nicely done Psycho feels very much like a real character
    + Every weapon can be so nicely modified e.g. you can use the scar as stealth sniper or as machine gun. There is no need to carry a specific weapon around with you since the modifiactions are 2 times more than in Crysis 2.
    + Enemys have chats with each other what makes it more realistic.
    + Strategy is up to you be stealth or a brutal war machine with nice exchangeable perks that make your suit best for your kind. You can sneak through the enemy lines without even having to kill soldiers or you can even do it only with your fists for most early passages. But the bow is the best item you have.

    cons:
    - too short story i wish i had a bit more for my money
    - it's not a open world which would make it much better and sometimes it's a bit too linear
    - sometimes a bit too much drama, while the extra information could be a bit different than just texts.
    - stealth is the key while armor has just not the expected use there and nanovision is simpy unused.
    - not bug free but it's playable though (i lost 2 suit upgrades, bugs at the ending)

    Now just to the multiplayer:
    pro:
    + I can now choose between suit mode or non suit mode for all challenges except hunter mode
    + hunter mode and several different capture the flag modes makes it a very enjoyable multiplayer
    + Lots of weapons to choose of and you can have 5 customizeable presets for perks and weapons
    + Weapon attachments can be modified ingame
    + No health regeneration for human mode makes it more realistic than other shooters
    + Multiplayer maps are nicely designed and well balanced for both team spawns
    + I like the fun competitions for more Xp and the Dog-tag hunt
    + You can turn off weapons if you're admin

    cons:
    - too little fanbase online makes only 20 Servers full
    - i can't modify my perks during game for the next respawn i have only the 5 presets and the 5 custom ones
    - there is no pause for respawnig during the 15-30 min matches
    - a few weapons are overpowered such as the bow, gauss rifle, L-tag and the rhino
    - no cheat prevention, but not too much cheaters over all
    - too long perk improvement you need >300 hours to improve your suit far enough for fair competition
    playing human mode to avoid this takes about >200 hours to get to all weapons and all attachments if you have not more than 4 weapons

    At last i want to warn those who might think of buying the DLC. There are no players on this maps making it only useable to get a rhino which is not allowed on many servers.    … Expand

Against all odds I really did enjoy the campaign, but it's necessary to know the story from the previous games to understand the whole development.
    Eventually it's good to see that Crytek could turn the corner after a also good looking Crysis 2, which couldn't live up to the success of Crysis (in my opinion, just compare the rating of Crysis 2 and 3), but I also understand the negative critics: Crysis 3 delivers beautiful graphics, a solid gameplay and story, but it doesn't offer anything new.

The sci-fi story is good (not great, not memorable but good) but their attempt to give a moral message in the end was so bad that it was funny. Not to mention the numerous plot holes. Most notable improvements include the bow which is a really handy weapon when going stealth, ability to use alien weapons which causes devastating damage, a new upgrade system that gives many types of advantages in the battlefield and also the ability to hack both human and alien technologies for both defensive and offensive purposes. I also find the new databank to be interesting as it gives many Intel about the story and its characters. The music score (which is composed by Hans Zimmer btw) is really amazing. In short this game and the whole CRYSIS series is a great first person shooter sci-fi series; though not good or interesting enough to go beyond what they came so far.… Expand

Furthermore the levels are HUGE, but still filled with a large variety of elements the player can use- Hack enemy turrets, shut down minefields, lure enemies away by shooting explosive barrels.. You can ALWAYS do more than simply rush through the middle of the map, shoot like a maniac and kill anything on the screen. You can flank, stealth and duck to get past the hordes of enemies- yes, this is possible!

    What I still don't like is the weapon handling and mechanics- every weapon (almost) feels the same.

The enemies were still the same just with slightly different outfits. The same guns were reskinned and renamed. The plot was disappointing since it jumped ahead a huge gap in time and brought up factors to an extreme. Beyond realism. Despite all this, I had to admit I still had a lot of fun playing the campaign - especially on the larger, more open maps. A good step up from Crysis 2's linear ones. The graphics: probably the best aspect of the game would set the benchmark for years to come. The world is more realistic than ever and the detail is just amazing. The multiplayer was surprisingly fun and quite well done. Just a bit more content and smoothness and this would have been on par with some AAA titles. What I always wanted, however was a co-op mode. Something along the lines of the Ceph infected humans being zombies or something but that sounds a bit like Advanced Warfare's Zombie Exo Survival. Still, I would like to see something like that as well as all the improvements stated above in a future Crysis game... If they ever make another one that is. So to conclude, I had fun with this game. Just not as much as I hoped. BTW The soundtrack is awesome.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Honestly, it's a pretty solid and fun FPS game, and I feel that it's better than Crysis 2. It has more open and huge outdoor areas, which allow for more freedom than Crysis 2. The gunplay and the combat are both awesome, and the gameplay took more notes from Crysis 1, which is still the best in the franchise. My only major complaint about the gameplay is that the bow is very, very, VERY stupidly OP much of the time, to the point where it kinda overshadows much of Prophet's arsenal.
    As for the story....meh. I gave up on the story of Crysis ever since Crysis 2 decided to retcon all sorts of stuff, and the story of Crysis 2 is a convoluted and poorly told mess. I DO understand the story of Crysis 2, but it's told very poorly. Here, there isn't much issue with the way the story is told, but rather the story itself. It's incredibly...generic. Resistance fights evil corporation and aliens and saves the world. The end. The story is basically the story of the Half-Life 2 trilogy, only without anything that made the story of those games so great. No real interesting or well written characters or lore.    … Expand

Along with some of the suit upgrades for stealth, you can even stealth kill every single enemy in the area without breaking a sweat. This had made the game too easy for stealth missions.

    The visor is finally very useful. And I'd say, it had become too useful, to the point that abusing the visor had made the game into easy mode.

    The shooting and action are pretty enjoyable, and the enemy design are finally more fair. Enemies that are annoying to kill in the previous games are still here, but this time they are easier to kill because you can approach them in multiple ways now.

    The plot doesn't make any sense. Although the game plot standalone in itself is okay-ish, it doesn't really fit the sequels at all. At first I thought this is like a pre-sequel to Crysis 2, until the end only I realize it is a sequel. It makes no sense at all.    … Expand

    There was some evolution in the graphics from 2 to 3 and they are beautiful!
    Gameplay is fluid, with some weapon additions and nanosuit improvements.
    In terms of upgrading the Nanosuit, I preferred 2.
    The story is interesting but it's very short, lasting about 6 hours and that's it.
    The game is a lot of fun while it lasts, too bad it doesn't last long.

    Good but not great the graphics look excellent when maxed out but aiming and shooting feels off. its like a mix of mouse acceleration and smoothing very much like your pushing a controllers thumb stick with your mouse and when you use scopes with a high zoom it gets even worse. Other then that Crysis 3 is fairly average all around and as such I would recomend waiting for a sale to pick it up.

Definitely Crysis3 gives optimal single player experience if you play a bit of both creep in, do a mini shootout, hide for a few seconds, then enable armor and do them desperado style witha 50. cal. The game definitely promotes shootouts, there are lots and lots of weapons and ammo spread over each and every map. You can do it easy with the bow but it is meant for inept gamers. There have been added some cool pieces of hardware to mount on your weapons. If you want a challenge, you`ll be using just about every piece of equipment and vehicles for destruction and let me tell you it is so good! Yes, the game is a little slow at first but it picks up pretty quick when the cephs show up. They jump around, try to corner you, hide when low on health. The locations are actually okay. There definitely is incentive to visit every corner of each map, strike at one location, retreat and attack from a different direction. This is not a corridor shooter like some poeple say. For this reason I played Crysis3 purely in singleplayer and it took me 15hours. Yes, fifteen instead of five some people say. I would agree there are too many cutscenes I`d think made just to show off the graphics. Don`t get me wrong, graphics are very good, maybe the best, but we`ve seen that already in Crysis2. The final bossfight is mediocre at best. If you can buy it for not more than 30$ then I wholeheartedly recommend this game. Overall a good game with some nice moments but forgettable in the end. A 7out of 10 from me.… Expand

    Great game, both in terms of graphics and gameplay. The campaign is a bit dry and the A.I isn't all that great. but it is entertaining nonetheless. Multiplayer isn't fantastic either; limited CoD-like game modes, awkward maps and really unbalanced weaponry, but again, it is good fun just to sit back and play.

    I would recommend it, but only if you're going to pay less than £30 for it.

There are a couple of levels in this game that are epic and really well-designed, but as a whole this is a shooting gallery I have little intention or desire to replay through, unlike the previous games. A word on the multiplayer I had a go at it and gave up after about 10 minutes. Hunter-mode is just stupid. It's bad enough in multi-player games getting killed and not knowing where from, as it is. But this time it's from a guy who's wearing an invisible cloak, so er even less fun. Deathmatch is fast-paced, but there are certainly more fun MP options out there for FPS fans. In short, this Crysis has hit the mark in some areas but I feel a little disappointed especially at the end where my PC froze at the end boss, and I had to watch the ending on YouTube. I love my nanosuit action, but this is the end of the road for me.… Expand

Broken New York is full of interesting scenes and when the game tells you "look, this is cool", it actually is cool. Not like Crysis 2 "oh damn, another falling skyscraper scene, sigh".    … Expand

Unfortunately, the game introduces almost no new features from the previous title--so it's just more of the same. The nanosuit upgrade system is a little more fleshed out, and there's new bow weapon, but that's about it for new features. While lacking the open-world environment of the original Crysis, this title does at least provide an interesting city/jungle hybrid environment. In the end, the thing that really made this game lose points with me was that it felt like it was designed to be easy: most areas have only small pockets of enemies, which can be stealthily dispatched at your leisure. You usually have the time to just pick them off one by one until you clear the area--and even if you alert them, you can play hide-and-seek with your cloak all day. Also, there were almost no intense fights: one of the few things I really liked about Crysis 2 was the parts where you just have to stand your ground and fight off big waves of alien attackers. In this game, about the only time you have to fight anything is when you get spotted whilst sneaking. Overall I still think it's worth playing, if you are a fan of the series, but sadly it just doesn't live up to its predecessor in most areas...… Expand

    VISUALS: The graphics are amazing, but the FOV and hud mean that you can't see much of the world at any given time.

    STORY AND CHARACTERS: The writing is by far the weakest part of the game. It tries to be much smarter than it is - the characters are always one step behind the player in terms of the twists and turns of the plot and you feel like the writers take you for an idiot when something telegraphed hours ago finally happens and everyone is in shock except for you. To put it simply - if they say something can't possibly happen, it's happens. And they try to tackle the ethics and morals of 'man vs machine' but it's handled so clumsily it's as if a high-school student wrote the dialogue. This isn't assisted by the fact that the characters are boring and you can't form emotional attachments to any of them because they don't think and act in any relatable way.

    GAMEPLAY: The gunplay mechanics are smooth and fun and the seamless integration of the nanosuit technology makes this one of the game's strongest points. However, the battles have an episodic feel to them in the sense that the enemies only pop up once you reach a certain point on the map, and never exist dynamically in the world. So you kill a bunch of guys, move to the next area, kill a bunch of guys, etc, etc. On top of this, the use of vehicles is shoe-horned in and is completely redundant, and the game takes control away from the player for in-game cutscenes far too many times, and in completely unnecessary situations. If they had let you control the ship you're in rather than putting it on rails, or let you follow the characters actively and observe your surroundings, rather than watching passively the game could have had more life to it.

    OVERALL: Somewhere along the line, Cryktek forgot what made the original Crysis so fun, and even though Crysis 2 bored me, this is my least favourite in the series for the simple fact that while number 2 felt like a corridor shooter compared to the original, it took place in the city streets so at least this feeling was contextualised. Crysis 3, on the other hand, tries to pretend it's much bigger and grander than it is. It has the corridor-shooter feel of the second game, but tries to hide this fact by adding some open fields for you to trudge through. That's all well and good if there's something interesting to see in the field, but the only interesting scenery is on the horizon, and the only place worth going is towards the objective.

    I give this a 7 because the engine is amazing and the gunplay is genuinely good. But a qualitative rating would be an 'eh' out of 10.    … Expand

    And stupid AI.. just really dumb..they know they are confronting invisible guy, and make nothing from it. They just keep walking by, checking on corpses of their mates, and die exactly at the same spot.. The bow is just a cheat, it makes the game too easy. All those special arrows are simply not required. You can stealth kill almost any opponent in the game and pick your arrows to kill next guy. I've beaten it on max difficulty level without even trying easier ones... Unforgiving they say? lol... TOO DAMN EASY. The only difficulty was fighting stalkers in second mission when the suit broke down... and final boss was not too chalenging.. but took some time to kill..

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Note that his rating is for the PC version only:

    - State of the art graphics, not much more to say to this
    - Good but not extraordinary sound and music (see also Atmosphere rating)
    - Mediocre gameplay, weapons system pretty much the same as in Crysis 2. The hacking minigame is just boring, Weapons system not really comfortable to use on a PC with a keyboard. Integrating a "god mode" by overloading the nanosuit is imho just stupid and boring. Never had the feeling to face smart enemies, thus not the best AI but not bad either.
    - Story is okay, way better told than in Crysis 2 but still very predictable and not very complex
    - Atmosphere is okay but not really what I would call stunning. The battle sound sometimes starts without really being in battle if you sneak by an enemy.
    - Not much innovation except for the graphics and maybe the bow. Just like in Crysis 2 you first fight Cell, then Cell plus Ceph and finally only the Ceph in an alien level.

    standard shooter with fantastic graphics, good music/sound and the rest ist pretty much average.    … Expand

    Unfortunately this is the only extraordinary feature of the game. The characters are the best and most "living" in all Crysis games. The Story is not that amazing but its solid. The sound is amazing. The overall Gameplay is also good. 7/10 points from me: -1 for story -1 for short duration -1 for uninteresting Multiplayer part.

The graphics are truly brilliant, the story is memorable, the new Ceph weapons are pretty damn cool as is Psycho. I was going to give it an 8, but (no spoilers) the final boss fight ticked me off a bit it's about 5 minutes long and I died near the end just because I didn't mash space fast enough.

Crysis 3 nie jest słabą grą, jest jednak o wiele słabszy niż jego poprzednicy, wręcz można powiedzieć że w tej chwili jest to najsłabsza gra Cryteku który robi naprawdę świetne gry(większość). Co mi się w trójce nie podoba? Fabuła. Ale tylko w połowie. Chodzi mi tutaj o samo kontynuowanie fabuły po dwójce. Już w dwójce twórcy zaczęli kombinować, wymyślać wirusy które uśmierciły bohaterów jedynki(tych którzy przeżyli), teraz zaczęli kombinować jeszcze bardziej, osoby które wcześniej nie żyły nagle wstały z martwych(tak wiem, jest to przecież "wyjaśnione"..ale jest to po prostu głupie...), nie czuje tego czego dokonałem w dwójce. To tak jakby wszystko poszło na marne..Cepidy znowu są i do tego potężniejsze...a co z tym co zrobiłem w dwójce, nikt nawet nie pamięta jak dużo trzeba było się namęczyć. Nie podoba mi się rozgrywka, oczywiście jest "otwarty świat" ale nie taki jaki obiecywali twórcy. Nie taki jaki mogliśmy zobaczyć w Crysis'ie jedynce, wybór działania też jest taki sobie, nie mówiąc o tym że już od początku walczymy z cepidami(po prostu za mało tutaj walki ze zwykłymi ludźmi).Nie podoba mi się też długość gry, ja sam przeszedłem ją w około 4 godziny, nawet fabuła nie zdążyła się zacząć a już się skończyła. Ostatnią rzeczą taka mi się tutaj nie podoba to bugi które się od czasu do czasu zdarzają i psują rozgrywkę. Przez te minusy widać że 3 była po prostu robiona na szybko,a szkoda bo pomysł był. Najnowszego Crysis'a ratuje na szczęście jeszcze fabuła(ta druga połowa). Gdy grając w jedynkę myślałem o końcu świata związanym z atakiem cepidów to właśnie wyobrażałem sobie coś w stylu Crysis'a 3. Prorok odwala tutaj świetne "przemowy" i niesamowicie ratuje świat. Oczywiście można było to zrobić o wiele lepiej(patrząc na plany dla serii o których mówili twórcy jeszcze przed premierą pierwszej części). Do tego Crysis' 3 jest dość przyjemnym FPS zawierającym pewne elementy jedynki jak i dwójki przez co chociaż trochę gra się w niego przyjemnie. No i na koniec...grafika w 3 jest niesamowita. Szczerze? Przez następne parę lat nic nie pobije(no chyba że 1 na modach) jakości jungli, poruszania się trawy, jakości wybuchów, iskr czy innych elementów występujących w 3. Jest mi jednak smutno że Crytek nie podjął się zrobienia 3 oddzielnie na konsole i oddzielnie na PC, zakładam że wtedy grafika była by jeszcze lepsza. Moja ocena 7/10… Expand

For Crysis, an incredible story would've made some amazing impacts; even more than it already did. It's story is okay, with the Alpha -Ceph and all . But it wasn't moving and wasn't something to celebrate. It wasn't bad, by it wasn't great either. Of course, if you are looking for a shooting game just to kill, Crysis is a pretty good choice. With cool weapons and new ones, it's a playground of shooting and hiding. Or... Is it ? The gameplay is awesome, but is actually very restricted in some parts. Of course it's not a sandbox game, but it was a little tight in some parts. Not anything to complain about really, as most games cant let players run too freely. So if recommend this to FPS and Crysis fans, but don't go buying it if it's just for the story. Not a bad game, compared to most other FPS games.… Expand

    Yes it looks amazing, maxed out on high end gaming rig this is the best looking game ever made. However as a game it is only mediocre, it is more a benchmark for PC enthusiasts and a vehicle for the developer to sell their engine. Its story and setting are just rehashes of Crysis 2, which though a disappointment graphics wise, was actually a better game.

    Crysis 3 doesn't pull on the full-fledged part, although it is done well, but it is too short, as a dlc it would be great for Crysis 2. And yeah It would be nice if Crytek remembered their only franchise.

    Really, I mean REALLY outstanding graphics, short, but intense campaign, average multiplayer and very poor AI. Game mechanics are almost identical to Crysis 2, the game lacks innovation. 7/10 in overall.

    We are all agree that visuals and graphics are outstanding. Now, they should bring open world to this franchise like they did in the first one. Game is very short and the story is not much than a regular one. This saga is not ageing well.

In addition to the Warhead data disc, a full-fledged sequel to Crysis 2 was released a few years later, which disappointed many people with its closedness, because what made the number one game just as great was the openness and several ways to deal with enemas. The two no longer had this option, but on the one hand it offered us a new environment in the form of the city, which was great. But now back to Crysis 3. The reason why I briefly described the previous two parts was because I would now like to compare them. One and two are great games for me, because each offered us something a little different. Where Crysis 3 is lagging behind is something new. The graphics are beautiful, yes, but it's not such a leap as it was a double. The environment was ... just saying that. A smaller mix of one and two. Here and there some grassy parts resembling an island from number one and here and there skyscrapers with a touch of the city from number two. The combination is quite good, but nothing new. The nano-outfit technologies were already quite impoverished in the duo, although I understand the authors' intention to make the game easier by controlling, especially on the console. I myself am a console player who prefers to take the gamepad almost everywhere. I say it everywhere, because FPS games or strategies according to them are simply a matter of keyboard and mouse. The story here is good, although in my opinion it does not surpass the previous ones and for example such a Prophet seemed unsympathetic to me, but that is purely my opinion. Game time is, I would say, for 5 hours, but this is usually the case with shooters. The game basically does what the second one does, it just doesn't add anything new. So if you liked the previous parts, then I think that Crysis 3 is a sure choice for you. For me, a good game that I recommend.… Expand

    Let's just say this: If you liked Crysis 2, you're going to love this game. It pretty much improves upon everything from that game. The game opened up quite a bit and gives you a purpose to explore, as there are off-path caves and such that contain hidden upgrades and collectibles. The game is also a whole lot more dynamic due to the fact that everything movement related (sprinting, power jumps) now don't take off suit energy, which makes the game a whole lot more dynamic.
    However you were disappointed with Crysis 2, this probably won't change your mind, as the main gameplay style is still the same. The nanosuit is still very stripped down, giving you only the option between Stealth and Armor mode. The campaign is also very short and pretty easy even on "Post-Human warrior". There's also not a lot of replay value to it, seeing how there's a lot of unskippable dialogue. Granted, it's not as scripted as Crysis 2, but it's still very tedious.

    Multiplayer is fun, although besides of the nanosuit and it's mobility, there's not a whole lot to it that you wouldn't get from other Modern Multiplayer shooters. Still, I'd say it's worth checking out.

    Overall, if you did not enjoy Crysis 2, I'd say it's worth a rental. Otherwise, go buy it, you'll have fun with it!    … Expand

You can still abuse the hell out of the cloak system and the AI doesnt really put up any real challenge most of the time. The checkpoint can be a source of annoyance.

    The production values are great and everything sounds and looks awesome. The characters are extremely detailed and nicely voiced. But i didnt really care about the story or any of the characters. You dont really have any reason to care about the world and the sci fi story is pretty damn generic.

    I might sound more negative about the game than i really am. Its not like its a bad game. Everything works as it should and if you are new to the crysis series then you will probably have a lot of fun with the nanosuit.

    But the game didnt have any major impact on me. It didnt make me feel anything when playing it. I recognize that as far a criticism go this is a quite one. But for me this game was quite a forgetful experience.

    Perhaps its the fact that my playstyle basically is me sneaking past everyone. And the sneaking in this game is way overpowered and dull. Not to mention that you can pick off anyone at any time with little to no consequence. The fact that you easily could kill everyone if spotted could be one of those thing that removes the tension of the stealth.

    But hey i have rambled enough. Crysis 3 is an good enough game and if you are looking for a high production valued 6 hours action filled campaign then you could do way worse.    … Expand

Many say the graphics is stunning, but I didn't notice anything about it, it felt okay. One odd thing I saw was in one of the APC sections where the impact explosion looked like a flat, black rectangle with flames on it. Controls were a bit shaky, and there is, of course, the strange delay in jumping. Similar to Crysis 2, the explicit mapping of armor, stealth and speed modes to keys are good improvements in respect to Crysis 1. I play usually with inverted Y, and the VTOL section was annoying as it ignored this settings. Positive thing that now I could survive difficult encounters, unlike Crysis 1 where the poor NK soldiers seemed to have superior armor to you (played all on easy difficulty). I felt a bit tedious to battle in Cry1 second half. The music and sound effects are nothing special, but I miss the sound of the SCAR from Cry1. The story is average at best; It felt head scratching in Cry2 and it still remained as such. It didn't feel like a sandbox at all. The AI was gentle and polite with me, but I guess it won't become Skynet anytime soon. If I consider that many need to upgrade their hardware just to play it on bare minimum makes it overpriced. The time the upgrade happens, you'll sure get this for the fraction.… Expand

Lets start off with the basics (This is a review of the PC version, not the console versions). The graphics of this game look great, and the game is optimized very well, although it will still require a pretty good rig to run at a competitive level. The sound is good too, but the music is nothing noteworthy. The controls are tight and responsive, debatably better than the previous two games in the series. Unfortunately, that about ends all of the highlights of this game. Lets take a look at single player, shall we? Single player is an unimaginative, mangled storyline which garbles up a bunch of corridor shooting sequences in large levels, and calls itself a sandbox game. This game is not a sandbox. At all. Also, the A.I. seems to be mentally handicapped, I can literally cloak while someone is looking at me, and they will have no idea where I went. The campaign took me about 6 hours to complete on the Supersoldier difficulty. That might seem rather short to some of you, but I had more than enough of my share of such a mediocre campaign that I let out a sigh of relief when I finally finished. Next is the multiplayer, far and away the most attractive part of this game. The multiplayer in Crysis 2 was good, but it struggled from unoriginality. Crysis 3 has seemingly mended this. It has added original gamemodes, exciting weapons, and new mechanics that are rarely seen in other FPS games. The maps are also great, featuring lush environments and good overall design. However, the quality of the multiplayer is not too great. For whatever reason, the quick match feature has a strange selection menu where you choose game modes that you are willing to play on, as opposed to just choosing a game mode. This would work totally fine but Crytek created this system idiotically, not allowing you to be paired up with someone with even 1 different search parameter. If you have crash site selected, and everything else turned off, you can't get into a game with someone who has everything turned on. This essentially forces you to rely on the server browser. The actual gameplay of the multiplayer seems broken at times. You can run up behind an enemy and shoot them 20 times in the back before they finally die. Other times people die in 2 shots. I have had multiple situations where I activate armor mode before I can even see the enemy, and then I die faster than my brain can even comprehend the fact that I was getting shot at. Overall, the game is enjoyable, but even that is a stretch. I did not enjoy the single player mode at all, it was a chore. When you have force yourself to play through a game as short as 6 hours, you know that it is not good. Luckily the multiplayer picks this game up a few points. If you are planning to buy the game solely for the singleplayer mode, I would rate singleplayer as a 2/10.… Expand

You spend 10 min killing 10 mobs to have a further 10 mins of cutscene and whilst the presentation is the best out there I can't help feeling that whilst they were perfecting their storytelling machine they forgot about the game. The small amounts of game that are in here are very good the world enviroment is beautiful and incredibly detailed but you don't seen enough of it this engine undoubtedly is the current graphics king but they need more game. Your cut scenes come far too often there aren't enough enemies in enough quantity or variety and then playable parts of the game are far too small and far too easy. As a game this falls very short as a demo of what the crytek engine is capable of its undeniably supreme. I have two 680gtx's and I would happily of swapped a ton of that eye candy for a bigger game with better more challenging gameplay. The game is far too basic and far to simple to keep you engaged I will probably never play it through ever again it holds no challenge. The vihicles felt loose and not very controllable and the multiplay is just as laggy as hell. For eye candy this is awesome, for storytelling this is awesome as a game its sub par and as a multiplayer game its also sub par. Still the best campaign is Half-life 2 and for my money at present the best multiplayer experience is BF3.

    Graphics 10

    Story 10

    Cutscenes 5 they're just too big a part of the game you spend as much time watching as you do playing probably more if you charge through the levels. They would be fine if the game was 10 times bigger.

    Gameplay 6 could be so much better it shows all of the potential but struggles to deliver on the promise (repetative sub games unlocking stuff). To much stop-starting with too many cut scenes theres no flow to the gameplay and the vehicles are terrible

    Enemies 5 Not enough, Not enough variety, Very dumb AI

    Multiplayer 3 laggy lag lag lag

    Crysis 3 suffers from the same problem as almost all modern fps they're short eyecandy and dull to play with no repeat playabilitty whatsoever.

We want fast paced arcade style shooters with big boss fights at the end of each chapter and lots of chapters. Make the games feel epic again. Even with this engine because of all the crappy cutscenes and interruptions even the final boss fight in C3 feels like a chore (the first time I got there I actually turned it off at the first checkpoint as it was a boring encounter).

He brought backTo preface this, this review is coming from a PC player, who prior to playing this game re-played both Crysis 1 and Crysis 2. My review will hyperfocus on what disappointed me, and you may not have felt the same way. Cevat Yerli, boss of Crytek (the development studio behind Cry 3) for months ahead of release was touting the incredible graphics achievement of Crysis 3. He brought back the 'Can it Cun?' question, from the original Crysis. Can your PC run Crysis 3? Can it run it at Max settings? A clever gimmick, and one that was relevant in 2007, because Crysis 1 truly was cutting-edge. I played this game with a GTX 680/3770k overall an upper-tier machine, that can easily max out 99% of games while achieving high frames per second. For the record I'm also on the newest certified Nvidia drivers. I also played this monitoring my FPS in-game, using a program called FRAPS which shows your frames per second, in-game. GRAPHICS: Huge disappointment to the PC gamer. Why? Because of the lack of stability in FPS. On the 'high' preset, in standard settings, I would be getting FPS of 50-60, but then, look into the distance or through a window and BOOM. FPS drops 75%. This was awful. I've never encountered such irritating instability in FPS. And it's not because of superior graphics, it's because of poor optimization from the developers, and maybe intentionally to enforce their 'Can it Play?' gimmick. At the end of it all, in order to keep my sanity while playing I had to do a massive tweak of the settings, where putting a couple advanced settings on low seemed to help a lot. Here's a tip for the first part with the rain: Turn water to low, because all that cruddy-looking rain is burning your FPS. Here's the other thing about the graphics, nothing ground-breaking, nothing new, and not much of a step up from Crysis 2, which was a very stable game comparatively. The graphics are not the best I've seen, and objects seem jagged despite high settings and high Anti-Aliasing. GAME IMPROVEMENT? To call this Crysis 2.5 would be an overstatement. There is very little innovation and improvement from the gameplay mechanisms of Crysis 2. THE BOW: You obtain the bow weapon in the first 10 minutes of the game. For the remainder of the game, you feel inclined to remain cloaked, use the bow for insta-kills, and then pick up your arrows after. Infinite ammo unbalanced weapon that breaks the game. THE STORY: Feels forced, unrealistic. Dialogue doesn't feel human. It feels like watching a bad movie. INTEL: Pieces of "Intel" you pick up as one of your only rewards for exploring. They are the usual generic audio/text background story elements, except they act a tedious mechanic, and feel like a forced addition to Crysis 3. PSYCHO: A character from Crysis 1 (and Warhead). In the first game he acted like a rational person, a human being. In Crysis 3 he is physically a different person; he looks different, has a different voice, and acts differently. He goes from being an asset to the story in Cry 1, to being a whiney disturbance, and carrying his personal baggage into the mission.

    PROPHET: A character who progresses through the series as a seemingly wise, mature, and hardened individual. In Crysis 3, he seems to play along with the childish antics of Psycho, and takes himself down a notch in the process. THE AI: Possibly the worst of the series. Basic human enemies are incompetent fools that can be destroyed with little effort. You know it's a bad sign, when in the first fifteen minutes of the game you overhear the same 'unique' guard chatter twice. THE VERDICT: I could probably add a number more details. The bottom line is this is the worst game of the series, and I genuinely feel it deserves a 6/10, while the other two games float around an 8.5/10.    … Expand

I love shooting, I am really a fps player, but I don't know why, Crysis games are just missing something in their gameplay. The multiplayer has nothing more to offer than Crysis 2, except the Hunter gameplay which is really fun. It's probably the only reason I play. But really, what is the worst about this game, is EA's marketing with the "hunter bow". Trailers and teasers were all about "the cool bow". They called the game "hunter edition" and the cover is again about "the bow". They really tried to look cool and get people to want the game thinking there's something new and really cool, but it's not. You get the bow as your first weapon, to kill silently while cloaked. The thing is, you can only carry 9 arrows and you can't always easily pick them up after you shot some. In other words, just use a gun of you want to kill from a distance or if you want to run arround to get your arrows back, why not just do some melee kills? And arrow refills are pretty rare compared to gun ammo. Onine, the bow is useless too. I tried and tried to use it, but it just sucks. I also see other people trying to use it, but they just die and die without killing anybody. The question is Did they include the bow because they really wanted it to make Crysis 3 a better game? Or because of the hunger games, arrow, walking dead, avengers, The bow is something "cool" right now? I bought crysis 2 for 20 bucks maybe a year after the release. You should all do the same with Crysis 3, because paying 60 bucks for any EA game today is a ripoff.… Expand

    This is without a doubt a beautiful game.

    But when:
    1) the combat bores you
    2) you can one-shot kill all enemies while still on stealth and they won't even notice WTF just happened
    3) Storyline is predictable
    4) Game is short

    ....You know you should have spent your money somewhere else--

    The entire Crysis series to me has been a perfect example of style over substance. If you want your run of the mill FPS where you mindlessly shoot enemies, this is it. The story is not engaging, and the characters are unable to be liked. In spite of the stunning visuals and beautiful graphics, the game was a chore to get through.

    OK so this game is beautiful on graphics we all expect that by now, and the story has gone with the end world scenario once again though more linear than I would like. And after playing it for 4 hours I feel that it was definitely worth waiting for the 50% off that origin offered, I paid 30$ for this game and that is well worth it.

    Multiplayer is the killer of this game that's why i didn't buy it for 60$ when it first came out, Unless those FPS game developers decide to take a lesson for Battlefield they should just give up on the MP mode.
    So here are some pros and cons on the game that i have noticed. Also
    I will not be commenting on the story line since i haven't finished it yet even though I am almost there.
    Pros:
    New Weapons
    Awesome Graphics
    Game play seems to be running real smooth
    AI is alright nothing impressive just alright i guess.

    Cons:
    Speed mode is still gone wtf...
    I not a fan of the cute looking squirrels running around.
    The story has just not grabbed my interest yet, dunno why but it just doesn't match up to the first one.
    This game was optimized for consoles and you catch a sense of that when your playing ^^^
    Psycho got fat and doesn't look the same is this bugging anyone lol.

    Conclusion: This game was well worth 30$ I'm glad that I bought it on sell so I can experience where the Crysis Series is going >Consoles...    … Expand

    The worst flaw, storytelling. I felt no connection to the character. I played the final boss just to finish the game, short btw.
    Nice graphics (could be even better) but at medium details still looks really nice, great optimization. The guns are also really nice and well implemented, as the game play. The music is absolutely awesome.

    Worst game in trilogy. No more original interesting story, no more atmosphere. Crysis 3 from next-gen sci-fi with original gameplay shooter become a boring copy of previous parts in trilogy. Crysis 3 has only good graphics, but a good game can not be built only on graphics, without story and characters.

    I would have to say that after playing Crysis 2 I was really expecting more. I can Only give this game a six not compared to the other crysis games if I were doing that i would give it a 2. But on it's own it is just a decent game with the same mechanics as crysis 2 which is not bad but they could have improved. And I wont go inot the graphics that much becuase waht else is there to say.I would have to say that after playing Crysis 2 I was really expecting more.

But it still looks great without AA at 1920x1080. I assume some people could not fully appreciate the GFX becuase of a lower range system. But the story, is for lack of better word, lame. The multiplayer is not as good as Crysis 2 imo. And to top it if it is buggy as hell at least the hunter edtion is. I got two copys of this game the regular and hunter and for some. Hunter does not add any content or weapons as far as I could tell. And I don't know why it is so buggy. I got Hunter Edition for free and kept it because i thought it would be a better PC port. But if you are a first time crysis player and you want the best experience Skip this title and get a previous Crysis title.… Expand

    The last game in the series is also the weakest one. The story has too much melodrama for my taste and the campaign lasted only 4 hours even on the hard difficulty with all the side missions done.

    A sequel that could have been great but was weighed on by weak gameplay. There is a decent story backing the game, but it is not particularly original if you have played sci-fi shooters before. The graphics are nice, but not noteworthy.

    The majority of the game feels optional, as all you do is cloak whenever you can and then walk past enemies or shoot them in the head. Gunning down enemies is simpler than any other alternative as the enemy AI is incredibly primitive. Since the maps are condensed and linear, you never bother to strategize how to deal with targets and simply take them head-on or ignore them. There are holes around the maps that you can accidentally get stuck in, forcing you to restart from the last checkpoint. I chose the Veteran (hard) difficulty, and even though I wanted to, I was unable to raise the difficulty afterwards.

    Overall, Crysis 3 failed to scratch the same itch for me that the original Crysis did. It felt really tame. There was no room for creativity, no need for stealth, and killing enemies felt more like getting rid of people who were just in the way. If anything, this sequel played out more like Metro 2033 than Hitman, and in a bad way. Nothing is particularly memorable in this sequel, so you can safely skip it.    … Expand

    I played Crysis 3 just to conclude the trilogy story. Beautiful graphics. That's it. The rest is Crysis 2 all over - linear levels, "meh" storyline, generic FPS gameplay combined with a cool supersuit. Nothing more, nothing less.

    Although the graphics and scenery are magnificent, Crysis 3 isn’t consistently fun to play. I blame this largely on the inclusion of a special bow and arrow that you can fire while using the Cloak mode of your Nanosuit.

    Nothing unusual-a shooting game. Nice graphics that from game to game does not improve much. Lots of costume options - but that's not new either. The plot is zero, as it should be in such games.

    While it is technically the best version of Crysis out there, it is really only a slightly better version of Crysis 2’s mechanics and graphics. Because of that, Crysis 3 feels more like an expansion pack to Crysis 2 than a true sequel and more than likely not worth your time.
