    If you want to test your system and see just how much power you can put out (within the confines of a CPU limited game engine), then this will still show you what your rig is capable of. If you want a game that is perhaps the closest you can get to the opening fire fight of Predator (with similar otherworldly interference taking over) then this is without doubt a game you should grab! If you’ve played it before but don’t know where you put your CD-ROM or even your DVD copy of the game, this might be a good excuse to shell out for a new digital version. Even if you just want a fun sci-fi action first person shooter with some fun future tech and some lovely visuals… grab a copy!

    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.

    Now Crytek has jumped onto the remaster train and is stepping into the trap it has built for itself: To release a new edition of a 13-year-old game in 2020, which again needs a really expensive PC for full graphics power, is a crazy idea.

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

    I quite enjoyed the time I spent with Crysis Remastered. The game does hold up well to this day however the performance issues and the frustrating AI really hindered my enjoyment.

    You have to be willing to forgive quite a bit to enjoy Crysis Remastered. Questionable enemy AI is bad enough, but a reduction in content is baffling, and the effort feels incomplete because of it. The extra lighting is nice, but the spotty performance is the real sore spot, as it ensures that a polished and well-performing version of the game is simply unattainable. Unless you have issues trying to run the original on your system or absolutely need controller support, you're probably better off skipping this until a better, proper remaster comes along.

    Crysis Remastered isn’t the game we wanted it to be. It’s still fun to play and the many tweaks and additions to the graphics look insane… most of the time. Sadly, the fancy new raytraced illumination is useful only in some situations, while other key moments of the campaign are watered down. The PC version itself isn’t great either: it gnaws a single thread on your processor and faces common problems like bugs, crashes and more.

It looks nextRecently there was a lot of modding of the original Crysis. But after playing this I can say the official Remaster is the best. It looks next gen and has technical improvements.

    Pros:
    Superb lighting and volumetric effects.
    Subtle improvements to sound design
    Nanosuit is similar to Crysis 3 which is a relief as the original controls were annoying.

    Cons:
    Poorly optimized. Probably due to Denuvo
    Minor bugs here and there.

Textures, shadows,I was waiting for Crysis remastered aaaaaand... it's a disaster. Zero optimization, over-bright lighting, single threaded. Textures, shadows, whole graphics are worse than Crysis 3. The gap is 7 years! Even on top systems this "game" is lagging as hell. And the funny thing is... Developers are proud that even RTX 3080 can't handle this. This really hilarious - they are actually proud of that crappy code that isn't optimized at all. Imo, it's even worse than WC3 Reforged. I'll never buy anything from Crytek again. Expand
