    It's hard to say that, but Crysis 3 plays great on Switch. It was difficult to provide this for yourself in 2013, when the original was released. The Remaster itself looks great both in portable mode and in stationary mode. As for Crysis 3, this is the most boring part of the series, it tried to be similar to the first part and the sequel.

    Has the same bug in it that Crysis 2 where the audio cuts out and after a while playing like that, the game crashes. There is also a glitch where when the binoculars are equipped holding a Ceph weapon, the weapon disappears and you have to "select" it again or pick it up. Speaking of pickups, some swapped weapons disappear into the ether.

There is also a glitch where when the binoculars are equipped holding a Ceph weapon, the weapon disappears and you have to "select" it again or pick it up. Speaking of pickups, some swapped weapons disappear into the ether. I have also noticed a glitch in places and at times where the face buttons, the entire right side of the controller, can be rendered unusable.

    Overall, it's a faithful new rendition of a classic epic series that deserves it's role in the Switch library. I was just hoping (with the trilogy as a whole), the devs would have gone the Halo 2 remaster route and had overhauled some graphical highlights from the game. For instance, the cutscene where Prophet is jumping from building to building and eventually landing superhero style on an abandoned apartment building complaining why CELL won't "stay out of his damn way" could have been remastered when it showed Prophet utilizing the Nanosuit's extreme agility, parkouring these buildings and finalizing in a cool superhero external shot of him landing. Bigger squads of enemies with more options to attack or subvert them, revamped human AI so that CELL Mercs fight more like the impressive North Koreans from the first installment that used advanced squad tactics. Touches such as these would have added great cinematic and gameplay value to a franchise trying to [hopefully] breathe new life into it. You're playing a tried and true forever classic masterpiece of video game and FPS history in this trilogy on fairly old Switch hardware in [almost] it's entirety (missing VTOL mission from Crisis 1 remastered, I'm talking about). Despite it's shortcomings, appreciate it.    … Expand

    Just call me a black sheep, but until I played this third entry in the Crysis series it never really clicked for me. While the stealth tech was cool and there was fun to be had in specific moments, for me the balance and feel of the action was always just a bit off.

While the stealth tech was cool and there was fun to be had in specific moments, for me the balance and feel of the action was always just a bit off. However, with the third entry throwing in a bow and seemingly tweaking how long you can maintain stealth just a little to make it more accommodating to silent killer types? Count me as being on board. Right out of the gate the flow simply felt more in tune with my preferred style of play, and I instantly went from appreciating the game’s merit to actively enjoying it. Now, having talked to fans of the series as a whole, the common comment on this third entry is that it’s a shorter overall campaign than its predecessors, so that’s something to take into consideration if you’re buying ala carte versus the package deal of the Crysis Remastered Trilogy. With its feel and flow being more closely aligned with the likes of the Far Cry series overall I really did have a blast with this third chapter. If you’re on the fence about the series though I’d say read up from as many sources as possible, as I can see significant room for disagreement on which title is the best in the series.

    Crysis 3 Remastered stealths its way onto Switch in a fantastic port that delivers super solid gameplay and very little in the way of noticeable technical issues. However, with its mutliplayer aspects completely excised, this is now a fairly slim package that ends up being the hardest to recommend of the three Crysis titles available on Nintendo's console, especially if you're considering picking it up as a standalone title. What's here is still top-notch stuff, it's just a little too short-lived.
