But at least it all looks gorgeous.We don't have any further details about Crysis 2 Remastered at this point, but we can assume that it will follow suit from Crysis Remastered, where Crytek delivered a graphically enhanced version of the game (improved textures, lighting, ray tracing, DLSS support) that however lacked the multiplayer department. When you sneak into an outpost unseen, take out exactly one enemy, and then get spotted and have to shoot your way past a dozen very angry soldiers because your energy ran out, the experience quickly devolves into frustration. The nanosuit, which can either grant you invisibility or extra armor for a short time, remains a cool idea, but these abilities drain way too quickly. Somehow, troops can spot you without from 200 yards away while you’re standing still and swarm you within seconds, but they’re also dumb enough to walk backwards right into the barrel of a gun when you’re a few feet away. I do like that weapons can be modded on the fly with silencers and enhanced scopes, but that doesn’t mean much when stealth never works very well. Between that and oddly bullet spongy enemies, it can take an entire clip from an assault rifle to take out a single enemy. For one thing, no matter which gun you use (and there aren’t that many to begin with), aiming feels extremely floaty, and shots never feel like they have much weight behind them. There are some very cool set pieces throughout the campaign that are easily on par with any modern shooter, though the game kind of loses its way in the later levels, which focus on the extraterrestrial Ceph.īut the actual gameplay is pretty weak. The story, which starts off as a fairly typical military shooter before revealing a much larger alien threat, remains strong.

So how does Crysis hold up in 2020? Honestly, it’s a very mixed bag. There’s no multiplayer, level editor, or remastered version of the Crysis Warhead follow-up.
There are also a few disappointing omissions.
Just don’t expect any real improvements outside of the graphics. Much like the original release, the graphics in Crysis Remastered have been future-proofed to the extreme. And even though virtually no one has the hardware for it yet, Crysis Remastered on PC supports 8K resolution. Crytek claims that even the mighty RTX 3080 can’t run Crysis Remastered at 30 FPS in 4K at maximum settings. With a whole host of technical improvements, like HDR support, temporal anti-aliasing, and ray-tracing, Crysis Remastered looks quite stunning if you have the hardware to support it all. It’s all very impressive, especially for a game that’s pushing 13 years old at this point, though regardless of your setup, character models are still a couple steps behind new AAA releases. As explosions tear apart enemy huts, shrapnel flies in all directions, as flames shoot up into bright blue tropical skies over crystal clear oceans. With sun rays poking through the treetops, the foliage of the fictional Lingshan Islands looks almost real enough to touch. The “But can it run Crysis?” meme may be the game’s longest lasting legacy, but when considering whether Crysis Remastered is worth your time, the better question is, “How well can it run Crysis?’Įven on medium or high settings in good old-fashioned 1080p, the visuals have obviously been improved in this remaster.
