    the story is kinda all over the place, but the ending is kinda cool, on the other hand, the acting is so terrible, i couldnt believe this game is actually after games like MGS3, for example.
    Well, as I have illegally downloaded it, it was not that terrible, but if i had paid anything on it i'd be just as pissed as everyone else in the comments    … Expand

    1080Ti, 8700k and I'm getting only 40 - 50 fps in highly dense areas even with settings turned down. Something is seriously wrong with the optimization of this title. Sad though cause Crysis is such a classic hit.

    Wow, what a trainwreck. I just sat there with sub 40 fps and my metrics on and the game was maxing out two cpu cores, the rest were barely used, and my GPU was at 60%.

    One step forward and three steps back. This screams cash grab, I guess Crytek is a bit desperate.

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

I have taught myself to always have low expectations for remasters after buying WC3: Reforged, and I am glad that I had not steered away from that way of thinking. 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

    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.

    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]
