    Episode 1: "Hell of an Optimization"

    It was known as the Crysis, short of a crying systems. Like the Turok 2 on N64 it ran like. It attacked our hardware, but we fought back, even thought we'd won. We lied to ourselves about a lot of things. That's why they developed Crysis Remastered. Though they've never told us if it was supposed to keep the nightmares in our GPU's or not, it didn't take long for the remaster to reclaim what was stolen from original. We think unused system resources are ours, the truth is - we just keeping it warm for the next Crytek creation.

    Heh, welcome to the new game, same as the old game.

    Episode 2: "The Stunt"

    No matter what man tells himself, in his heart resides the spirit of the fraud. He can build game engines or erect monuments to his greatness, but, at its core, he cannot escape his own nature. The method of false promises and paid reviews is beautiful in its simplicity. Is that coincidence that every culture on earth invented it independent of one another? Or is it something else? Something primal that allowed us to manifest it. Of course the trick about cheating is making sure you're the cheater and not the cheated.

    Are you the cheater or the cheated? I know for damn sure which one I am.

    Episode 3: "The Flaws and Defect"

    They used to call it stunning looking game, real center of cutting edge technological power, it still is I suppose. Saber Interactive corporation, grimmest company in the world, turned Crysis into its own personal playground. And somewhere here is the result of all their sinister power. But power means different things to different people. There's the power to take life of loved franchises, the power to make a difference, but real power, REAL power is understanding just two things: flaws and defect.

    I'm ready.

    Episode 4: "No More Fear, Maximum Saturation is Here"

    The saturation slider moves right 100% in a second. Created to fool the players, and fool 'em hard. The combination of 2000 years of human artistry and know-how, it has no agenda but the one it's been given. It knows only one purpose, only one end.

    It's the most unadulterated form of expression. And right now, devs have got a lot to say.

    Episode 5: "The Perfect Ascension"

    Error: Missing input parameter 'text'

    Final Episode: "End of Rays"

    To summarize all the bs above: game performs worse than original, looks worse (even with RT and other tech), lacks one big level from original (!), costs more and honestly it's nothing more than an attempt at making easy money.
    Slightly better than WC3: Refunded.    … Expand

    No CPU core changes and it's based on PS3 & Xbox 360 version. That means that this is game uses only one thread and modern PC's can't run the game like it should. Don't buy this really bad "remastered" version.

Crysis 2007 looks more grounded with more realistic colors. Some destructive physics are actually not as good in Remastered. So many visual downgrades in general, and while yes textures and explosions look better, they're not enough to make Crysis "Remastered" a good buy in 2020. They didn't even fix performance, the game still can't utilize all your CPU cores properly! Raytracing is done via a software solution, therefore it's taxing. The "Can It Run Crysis" Ultra setting is a bad joke. Not even the best PCs can achieve a consistent 4K60 in a 13-year-old game. This isn't how you bring back one of the most beloved PC games of all-time. Maybe you shouldn't have used the Xbox 360 code as a base for the remaster too by the way. The memes aren't enough to save this terrible attempt. Do better next time.    … Expand

    Производительность это отдельная тема настройки только одних текстур на максимум съедают больше половины FPS игры но при этом сами текстуры не сильно отличаются от текстур в оригинальной игре а местами и умудряются выглядеть хуже.

    И почти полностью заменены звуки игры к сожалению не в лучшую сторону.
    Так же важный момент из игры вырезана миссия Ascension(в ней нужно управлять самолётом MV-24 VTOLs) причина по которой миссия была вырезана не понятна.

    И по поводу управления персонажем.
    Управление больше походит на то что было в Crysis 2 но при этом хуже.
    Прицеливание будто взяли с консоли и очень криво перенесли на мышь, непонятные торможения и ускорения мыши при прицеливании при том что само
    ускорение в настройках отключено.
    А по поводу физики управления в оригинале при разгоне в режиме скорости и быстром переключении на режим силы и последующем прыжке сохранялась инерция что позволяло делать длинные прыжки теперь этого нету а при прыжке просто останавливаешься и прыгаешь с места чу чуть в сторону прыжка.

    И я нашёл еще больше отличий от оригинала но всё расписывать не стану и играть в ремастер не советую.    … Expand

There are other reviews posted here that mention the shared frustrations that we have for this game so I am not going to bother mentioning all of them, however I will highlight some and elaborate.

    - Missing features

    This is to be expected, since according to what I read on other forums, this game is a console port that has been ported back to PC... need I say more? You can't even quick save nor have normal controls. The game feels awkward and clunky and the A.I is much worse.

    - Bad optimisation

    This is inexcusable. After having played this for 2 hours, I quickly went back to the original Crysis to compare and on my current high-end hardware the original ran better. And also, why is this game running on DX11 and not DX12 and/or Vulkan? Surely that would have helped. What we have now are inconsistent frame rates and the occasional black screen when launching the game and even crashes while playing.

    - Overall low effort

    This game in my honest opinion is a low-effort project that was done to just bring the game back into the spotlight so as to make it relevant again and also to generate money with the least amount of work and effort put into it. There is also a big quality mismatch between the remastered models and textures and their original counterparts. This is to be expected from a remaster, but I feel the weapon models at the very least deserved an update. There are also low quality textures here and there that could have been upscaled with modern A.I upscaling software.

    - Summary

    Last words, don't buy the game in its current state. Once the above issues have been resolved the game will definitely be worth the price tag and I will then definitely change my rating here. However I wouldn't hold my breathe if I were you since I don't expect those issues to be addressed.    … Expand

The current CPUs on the market are, let's face it, designed for the 8th generation of video games, and the RTX 30 cards are being sold by scalpers on eBay for $2000. So in 6 months or so when RTX 30 cards are available without shelling out massive amounts of money to scalpers, and CPUs come out that will be able to surpass the CPUs in the Xbox Series X, this game will run a lot better. And it's true that in less than a year my current PC is going to look like absolute garbage because the 9th generation of video games starts in a few months. However, this doesn't change the fact that the game should be running better on my PC than it currently is.

    Crysis was designed for single core CPUs and instead of increasing the clock speeds of single core CPUs over time like people thought would happen when development on the game began, we went to multicore CPUs running at similar clock speeds. The result of this is that every CPU generation has only slightly increased the frame-rate of Crysis and the game can still drop to less than 40 fps even on a 10900k. However, the stripped down console versions of Crysis were able to take advantage of multiple CPU cores, so EA Games took this version of the game which had a lot of things taken out and a dumbed down A.I., threw a new coat of paint on it, and released the game as a "remaster". So basically some things are better, but other disadvantages are carried over from the console versions.

    While the game isn't as poorly CPU optimized as the original, it's still pretty bad. One of the biggest disadvantages of the original was the draw distance and pop-in--and medium settings on this game is basically the same as the original Crysis. But if you turn the three settings that effect pop-in up to high, even the fastest CPU on the market currently isn't able to maintain a solid 60 fps in even 720p. Yes, the i9 10900k is a CPU from the 8th generation of video games and will be obsolete soon, but the game in it's current state looks bad. On my current build I was able to put these settings on medium and every thing else on max and still maintain 60 fps, and the game did look quite good, but the poor world detail really affected the experience.

    Bizarrely, whereas higher resolutions are mostly handled by the GPU, in Crysis Remastered they are handled by the CPU. I have never heard of this being the case in a game. So basically in most games if your CPU can handle the high frame-rates in lower resolutions, your GPU can use all of it's power to bump up the resolution. In layman's terms, you're not going to get any resolutions higher than 1080p and still be able to maintain 60 fps in Crysis. At least, though, you have tons of unused GPU power to put into the ray-tracing. Strangely, the ray-tracing is software ray-tracing, and doesn't take advantage of RTX cards. So non-RTX gpus and even the consoles can use the ray-tracing. While this is an impressive feat, it's more demanding than normal ray-tracing.

    You know what, though, I could have forgiven the poor optimization, since new hardware will be out soon. What I can't forgive is the gameplay. The problem with old stealth games is the CPUs of the time weren't powerful enough to really handle the A.I. necessary to make them feel like modern stealth games. Metal Gear Solid got around this by basically being a 2D game with a top-down view and these games still hold up pretty well today. However, Crysis's stealth was already showing its age, and that's being generous, and when you add in the comically braindead A.I. of this "remaster", the game is just no longer fun, which is the most important thing of a game. This might lead to an entertaining Video Game Dunkey video, but it doesn't make for an entertaining game. I started the game again, and remembered that trying to kill or knockout all the enemies doesn't work particularly well. The most effective strategy in Crysis is usually to just slowly sneak past enemies in stealth mode since the game is semi-open world, or just run away from enemies in speed mode. I have to say, I re-played Far Cry a few months ago and while the stealth in Far Cry mostly involves exploiting the broken mechanics to kill enemies, at the end of the day it was actually pretty fun, which is more than what I can say for Crysis Remastered.

    EA Games had honestly been doing things right with Command and Conquer Remastered, Burnout Paradise Remastered on the Switch, and heck, even the console versions of Crysis Remastered are impressive achievements. However, Crysis Remastered on PC is the usual garbage we expect from EA.

    Oh, and to add salt to the wound, it's an Epic Games Store exclusive.    … Expand

However considering one can buy and play the original game there is absolutely no reason to get Crysis Remastered for PC. In many areas, particularly water and lighting the original Crysis has certain stylistic decisions that make it the visually superior offering. Overall the graphics were polished and they worked.

    In Crysis Remastered textures are higher resolution (but also different and so don't necessarily look better), draw distance is drastically improved and the detail of models in the distance (such as mountains) is also improved while the game is also overall brighter and higher contrast. Everything metal is also shiny thanks to the ray-tracing trend. However with worse performance across the board the visual improvement is not totally worth it. Add to this the alien models are significantly less detailed and lighting effects simplified it is hard to recommend playing the remaster over the original. In the end the improvements don't make up for the parts that are worse. At the end of the day even Crysis Remastered can't beat Crysis.

    This is another in a slew of recent remasters that serve to make developers and publishers lazy by rehashing old games. Crysis 4 is the game we need, Crysis Remastered it seems is the game we deserve. The more titles like these are re-released for each platform the less we will see of brand new experiences such as Crysis 4.    … Expand

    * Game crashed a little for me initially early on in the game, but the crashing stopped shortly thereafter which was kinda strange. * They modified the way cloak mode works with the energy system which I wasn't a fan of - greatly preferred the way the original version handled that - it's basically like Crysis 2 and 3 now so the cloak doesn't engage quite as smoothly as it did in    Cons:

Game is also missing the "cloak engaged" and other suit mode sounds which are classic Crysis.
    * The developer decided to take the Epic Games Store bribe and sell out the freedom of their customers for a year to buy the game where they want - for me this translates into never buying the game at all, and playing it somewhere else. Sad considering I own a DVD copy of the original Crysis from 2007, and I also have the Steam digital copy of Crysis & Crysis Warhead...I would have been happy to support the development studio for this game had it released on Steam initially, but I simply don't reward developers for selling me out to awful companies like Epic. If you guys ever do a Crysis Warhead remaster or future games in the franchise, release on all store fronts at the same time without Epic Online Services or any exclusives and I'll give you another chance to earn access to my wallet. I enjoy supporting developers when they exhibit pro-consumer behavior...when they don't, I don't pay for the product. Period.
    * The carrier level toward the end, when you engage the warship on the flight deck, the effective fire area seems to be far larger than it should be - I was standing in areas where there was no fire and still taking damage - this makes it very tough to survive the initial run from where the warship impacts the carrier deck as you'll take constant damage from the fire area that doesn't exist while the alien warship is also shooting at you - eventually if you keep running away, you'll finally clear the area you're taking damage, but it's just kind of up to luck on whether you survive or not.
    * This item isn't specific to Crysis 1, but they have said they don't plan on Remastering Crysis Warhead which I think is a HUGE mistake - Warhead was awesome, and I consider both Crysis 1 & Warhead to be basically two parts of the same story - usually when Nomad and Psycho split off from each other, I go back and forth playing one level at a time from each game to make the story flow more properly since they are going on at the same time for each character, and it would be really nice to have Warhead Remastered - if you read this Crytek, Remaster Crysis Warhead, and RELEASE IT ON STEAM AT LAUNCH - NO EPIC EXCLUSIVITY. I will be happy to buy it if you do this.

    Pros:

    * Excellent graphics upgrades, the game really does look and play fantastic.
    * The game runs MUCH more smoothly than it did before. Granted I have an RTX 3090 at present, but the game runs with everything, including RT set to "Very High" in 4k resolution and is butter smooth @ 60fps, so I do applaud their efforts there, as the original was pretty darn choppy at times even on a really good rig.
    * Game is also now multi-threaded with regard to CPU usage, which takes care of a LOT of the choppiness issues that were present in the original version of the game - kudos there as well.
    * Armor mode is actually useful now and absorbs damage more akin to Crysis 2 & 3.

    Final Rating: 5 / 10 - I can't give it a recommended rating after the way the developer treated gamers with the Epic exclusivity, but as far as remasters go, this one was pretty darn good. Now that I have an HDR monitor as well, I will admit I enjoy playing remasters where Raytracing is enabled along with HDR - these things really add a lot to the atmosphere of a game.    … Expand

Crysis may have looked great when it first dropped back in 2007 (if you had the rig to run it) but today it's not only a joke in terms of physics and realism (broken raytracing, blurry visuals, see other complaints submitted) but it's also a joke in terms of gameplay. Thirteen years ago this may have been a slightly decent game if they spent more time on gameplay mechanics instead of graphics, but unfortunately they decided on the latter. Gameplay is so bland, boring and generic that I would rather play Steam Early Access indie dev shooters.

    GAMEPLAY:

    Movement is slow, slogging and terribly implemented. The basic movement seems like a slow jog. Sprinting sends you forward so fast that your energy bar depletes in what seems like a second. Continuing to sprint makes a normal run but you will have zero suit energy. SO STUPID! Why not make suit sprint a toggled power?

    The game doesn't know whether to be a stealth shooter or a run-and-gun shooter as it constantly advises you to switch between stealth and armor modes as well as using binoculars that are pretty much useless and only highlight enemies on the minimap but not on a HUD. Stealth is nearly as pointless as the energy drains the faster you move and is instantly over the moment you fire a weapon or make any major action. Crouching and going prone causes it to drain slower, but because of the various large grasses, bushes and other foliage it makes finding your way nearly impossible. Going prone itself is so slow you'd wonder how your character even qualified to wear the suit let alone join a military branch to begin with.

    Once you're spotted by AI enemies (which is VERY easy even if you're crouched or prone) every enemy nearby INSTANTLY knows where you are and has pretty decent accuracy even on the easier modes that were tested. What's worse, is they're wearing basic fatigues while you're in an advanced alien war suit yet you will die VERY quickly, especially if you suddenly get caught while in stealth and your energy isn't high enough to absorb much damage in armor mode. Meanwhile, some enemies require half a clip of ammo to just take down 1 enemy, sometimes even if your shot is a dead on headshot on the first trigger pull.

    GRAPHICS:

    Again, some people need to take their nostalgia goggles off and actually see the game, both the original and Remaster, for what they are. It may have been the "ultimate" showcase of graphics 13 years ago but there are much better, more realistic options today than Crysis could have hoped for. I mean seriously...the foliage doesn't even move in the game! Zero collision detection, one bullet can sometimes cause whole trees to split as if it was chopped by a massive axe, physics of objects are as generic as can be... It's just a mess of bad decisions and lack of innovation as if the dev's only concern was to make a game so graphically unoptimized that even if you had a PC that could run Crysis in 2007 it was sure to run it very poorly. Honestly, Red Dead Redemption 2 on PC is probably the new standard as I can play Crysis on max settings 4K and get between 60-70 fps in the Remastered version and in a modded original version (you'd think the devs would have implemented more modern graphics and coding techniques as an update to the original or even the Remastered version, but NOPE!). Meanwhile on RDR2, max settings and 4K brings the game to a painful 23-30fps (30 fps if absolutely nothing is happening and I stand still) but the game is crisp, clear, very clean looking and has natural looking scenery and interactive foliage and modern day physics.

    Crysis Remastered reminds me of Halo in terms of how people praise and remember those games as being the "holy grail" of PC gaming. When going back to them compared to modern day games, they are utter trash that has been overhyped for years without anyone returning to see how bad both games were in terms of graphics, story and gameplay mechanics.    … Expand

    So far, the improved particle physics and textures is a huge plus for me, however, there are a few problems with the game itself (which will be fixed as the weekly patches come by), such as the AI being a bit glitchy with mounted weapons at times, the classic Nanosuit mode (although it's starting to get very close to the original) missing a few sound effects from the activation of each mode, but overall from the communication done through the Discord community, Crytek is determined to fix those bugs and glitches, where hopefully this would get a better reaction from the audience.
    Ascension has been added back, quite literally a list of bugs and fixes have been established, and I can say for sure that the updates going through are huge for the game, and that's what makes me want to give this a very positive review! I know this game is going to be fixed to its proper state, it's just a matter of time where hopefully update 3.0 will fix almost all of the leftover bugs, and the introduction of new features such as DLSS 2.0.    … Expand

    Absolutely criminal! The game doesn't even launch properly, it launches on half of the screen! (Guess 1080p is too much asking for this TRASH, let alone 1440p or 4k!)
    The game sets the settings on low on a GTX 1060 6gb and i7 6700. It looks like **** crap. If I put it on "Can it run Crysis?" settings, I get 20 fps and still looks like **** If I deactivate the "Ray-Tracing" (wtf is that,    Absolutely criminal!

    I can **** run Serious Sam 4, a game known for bad optimisation on **** ultra settings with DX12 API and it runs buttery smooth in comparison to this MESS!
    Did I mentioned that the best level in Crysis is GONE!?
    Checkpoints only
    You can't throw grenades quickly anymore, equip and THEN throw!
    You can't pilot helicopters or the VTOL anymore
    NO more profiles
    The UI is not fit on the enitre screen, feels like a **** CONSOLE!
    Even with V-sync off, the game has a TERRIBLE mouse lag!
    So much more stupid **** but I am TIRED OF IT!!!

    Is this how I remember crysis, back in 2007, when I was only 5 yo!?
    I'd rather play the original again on that piece of junk of the pc, rotating the cooler with a screwdriver in order to start, 10fps lowest settings!

    - Greater looking textures
    - Greater draw distance
    - Greater effects such as lighting.
    - Ray tracing support

    Neutral:
    - No Multiplayer

    Cons:
    - Bugs

    - The AI feels dumber in the remaster
    - Sometimes the 2007 Crysis looks better
    - Performance Issues
    - Dumbed down controls
    - Unresponsive controls (When you press the jump button, it actually takes 1-2 seconds for Nomad to jump)

    I'd say just skip this remaster, It's Crysis for sure, but it's not the one everyone loves and I can say that the 2007 Crysis still looks absolutely stunning and plays better even to this day.    … Expand

    More like demaster... you know something’s gone wrong with your remaster when it falls short of the original game with community mods. It’s literally missing features that made the original so groundbreaking. The only impressive feature of this at all is sparse voxel global illumination, and even then RTGI via reshade can achieve results that aren’t too far off in most scenes.

    My gaming rig has an i9-9900K and an RTX 3090 and my monitor is 1440p 240 Hz. If you adjust some settings the game can run above 180 fps with high textures but there are fps drops on certain areas due to poor optimisation. Also the game is very short so it’s only recommended if you find it below half price.

    Оптимизация ужасная. Графика такая себе. Геймплей старый, сложный и однообразный. Не ремастер, а дичь какая-то.

    Я терпел, когда мой более менее мощный компутер потянул игру на высоких настройках графики в 30-60 фпс. Я терпел клишированных героев игры, и клишированные сюжетные моменты. Я терпел звуковые баги и глупых НПС. Но когда в финале игры из за критического бага финальный босс просто не прогрузился, я сгорел нахуй.Я терпел, когда мой более менее мощный компутер потянул игру на высоких настройках графики в 30-60 фпс.

    Crysis Remastered is a good bit of nostalgia that can appeal to players who want to reminisce about the early days of the Xbox 360 and PS3. Those that are looking for a fun and quick shooter game will also find a lot of enjoyment from Crysis Remastered, but don’t expect the reinvention of the wheel because Crysis invented the wheel in the first place.

    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.

    For its age, Crysis is still quite fun, but I don’t think bragging about the game’s ability to vanquish any PC should still be a thing today. There are many shooters that look much better and at the same time run much smoother on the same hardware. It’s also a pity that the Warhead expansion was not remastered along the base game and there’s no trace of the multiplayer modes. [12/2020, p.56]
