Sadly like Crysis Remastered 2 before it, Crysis Remastered 3 also finds itself somewhat struggling to justify investment in itself beyond the trappings of its single-player campaign. And solely on its merits as a linear face-shooting fest that is liberally stuffed with Hollywood style bombast and a snappy duration (you’ll see the credits after 12-15 hours of play), Crysis 3 Remastered nonetheless gives a commendable account of itself as a visually attractive and mostly linear shooter offering that respects your time duly.įurther Reading – Crysis 2 Remastered PS4 Review Of course the flipside of this argument is that for folks who have found themselves compelled by the much more linear nature of current shooters in recent years, the leveraging of such conservative design principles by Crysis 3 Remastered will hardly seem anywhere near as jarring. From invisibility, to increased armor and super strength that lets you kick boot a multitude of heavy stuff into the faces of your enemies, Crysis 3 certainly provides players with a familiar degree of freedom with which to go about their shooty business – it’s just a shame that relatively speaking, such freedom feels more like a afterthought rather than a meaningful attempt to reembrace the freewheeling essence of Crysis original design bedrock. Naturally being Crysis, each of these approaches is underscored in turn by the functionality provided by the series iconic Nanosuit. In manner more akin to the tightly controlled agency of Crysis 2 rather than the unfettered freedom of the first game, players are still provided a modest amount of scope with which to approach various situations – permitting ample oscillation between all out combat and more considered, stealthy avenues of play depending on your preference. That said, as dramatic as my description has made the fall from freewheeling player agency into linear gunplay seem, Crysis 3 hasn’t given up that particular ghost entirely. As such, if you’ve not had any previous exposure to Crysis 3 ( you can catch our review of the PS3 version here) but enjoyed the first Crysis or indeed any current open world first-person shooter, then the sardines-in-a-tin style approach of Crytek’s threequel, where open world agency has been sacrificed at the alter of prebaked Hollywood spectacle and the frequent manifestation of invisible walls, will likely fail to ensnare your attention sufficiently.įurther Reading – Crysis Remastered PS4 Review
