    WWE 2k Battlegrounds brings us the craziest and funniest wrestling, but it ends up being repetitive. Crysis Remastered reminds us of the great classic it was and how entertaining it was, but falls short in its efforts to bring it back up to date.

    If you didn’t play it back in the day, and want to know what all the fuss is about, Crysis Remastered may just be worth a shot.

    Crysis Remastered is a strange one. It took me a while to actually start enjoying my journey but the further I got the more I wanted to find out where they were taking the story. They have done a good job on remastering and luckily, I didn’t come across any visual issues. But you can’t overlook that this is still a game from 2007 and the AI is handled poorly with so much randomness that occurs whilst playing.

    Crysis Remastered has beautiful lighting and textures, but a stylistic misunderstanding of the original as well as technical issues galore make this remaster feel lacking.

    If you have fond memories of Crysis and wish to play it again but with better visuals on the format of your choice, you’ll probably get some enjoyment out of Crysis Remastered. Well, unless your favourite thing about it was the multiplayer – that’s been ripped out. It isn’t a bad game by any means, and its budget price is appreciated, but it’s no longer the graphical powerhouse that it was. Even worse, it appears the aspect that really needed remastering was its gameplay, and it doesn’t seem to have been touched at all.

    Although technically it manages to impress with new features, Crysis hasn’t aged very well. On top of that, many technical issues get in the way, so we recommend waiting for a patch that addresses them.

    The framerate drops regularly on classic consoles while the Pro versions never reach 60 fps, even in Performance mode.

    Crysis Remastered is not a full-price retail release, instead opting for $29.99 on the Microsoft Store and other retailers. As such, it's best to see this game for what it is: a budget game that won't particularly wow but contains some levels of nostalgia. Even if it's far below what was expected of the original, there is still fun to be had with this remaster.

    Even if some can still argue about how good the gunplay feels by today's standards, there is one thing we can say for sure - this remaster is unapologetically lazy.

    Crysis Remastered is a game that will leave no mark on its players. This edition tries to remaster the classic 2007 game with a horrendous result.

    Crysis Remastered is a remastered version of the first-person shooter originally developed by Crytek and published by Electronic Arts wellCrysis Remastered is a remastered version of the first-person shooter originally developed by Crytek and published by Electronic Arts well over a decade ago. I remember my original excitement to play the game when it launched. So is it as good as it once was? Yes this is the same old good game you played over a decade ago. At the end of the day, Crysis Remastered is an excellent port of a legendary video game but it does show it's age. Some of the mechanics feel dated and a little odd sometimes, but the remaster remains true to what the original, which feels like a more important goal given the game's age and this being far away from a full on remake. I need to put a hard "but" here because the game was a heavy load back then already and I think I don't need to tell you guys how heavy the remastered version would be. There game currently plays fine on all consoles except the Xbox One X. There is a confirmed patch coming in a few days to correct the issues with a patch, so fear not. Crysis Remastered does just that gives you a remastered version of the original game. If you go in with those expectations there's no reason to be disappointed. I do feel the price of admission is a bit steep, so if you're on the fence you may want to wait for a sale to pick it up. for your Xbox One library. Full Review »

    I played on Series X and the game ran ok, but for a game looking so old, it should have been better. I played on Quality mode and the experience was overall decent, 50-60fps. Performance mode indeed locked 60fps, but at the cost of that crisp 4k.

    The good:
    -The Story - Perfectly paced and not too much filler. Ubisoft should take notes :)
    -The World - It felt real and it got me immersed
    -Fun gameplay

    The bad:
    -Dumb AI - really, really bad!
    -Awkward and outdated controls
    -Bugs and crashes

    Even though the game has its fill of problems, I enjoyed it and found it fun enough to give it 6 hours to finish it.
