    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.

    Cons:

    * 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 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 original Crysis 1. 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

    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.

    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

    I think the reason Crysis is so well talked about is because of the graphics. By todays standards, even the "remastered" version set to "Can It Run Crysis?" looks terrible compared to more modern AAA titles.

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

    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]
