Crysis Remastered Trilogy

I might be easily pleased these days, but I think Crysis Remastered Trilogy is an easy recommendation for anyone who loves a bit of first-person gunplay. All three campaigns are good to great, visually they look the part, and it can already be bought at a smashing price. Not the definitive package, at least on consoles, but it's very good all the same.

Three ten-hour games in one package might seem good value, but the truth is the Crysis series only hits its stride in fits and spurts until the third game. On PS4 the remastered graphics get better as the series goes on, so there’s no real reason to play the first game unless you’re already a fan or you’re interested to see how Crysis started. Crytek’s series is certainly interesting to dissect as you go through. Consistently fun to play, though? That’s a different story.

Crysis 2 Remastered is a super solid port of an excellent FPS that looks and plays fantastically well on Switch. Yes, you lose out on multiplayer, but there's still a generous single player campaign to get stuck into here that does a great job of funnelling you through its blockbuster setpieces whilst ensuring you get plenty of opportunity to tool around and experiment with your crazy Nanosuit powers. Crysis 2 may well be the very best entry in Crytek's franchise, and it's absolutely one of the finest shooters currently available on Nintendo's hybrid console.

Some movies work better in theaters. Some games work better on bleeding-edge hardware. The stars have aligned and a premium Crysis experience is available for the masses. There's never been a better time to put on the NanoSuit than right now. 8/10 8K roach shaders

The Crysis trilogy gained fame for its presentation more than anything else, which is a shame because underneath all the high-quality textures, models and environments lurked fun shooters.

Many improvements have been made to the game and the gameplay remains impressive.

Crysis Remastered Trilogy offers a great insight into the series' shift in design, from the experimental freedom of Crysis to the linear campaign of Crysis 2.

Crysis Remastered Trilogy is the first time all three games of this remarkable FPS series have appeared on a Nintendo system, and there's nothing but compliments to say about it. The conversion work has been carried out impeccably well and players will find a smooth, slick and exquisite experience throughout the whole play. Missing nothing but a multiplayer mode, which would do wonders, Crysis Remastered Trilogy is an excellent debut for the series on a Nintendo console.

‎It's a shame that the Crysis Remastered Trilogy faces several issues including loading missions and the still linear playstyle of the first part. If you only go to the second and third of the trilogy, you will be inundated with beautiful environments, great gameplay and actual innovation. The Crysis Remastered Trilogy is certainly a deserved remaster, but especially for the real fans. If you dive into these titles without prior knowledge, it will probably be disappointing.‎

If you're a console player and interested in some old-fashioned story-driven shooters, than Crysis Remastered Trilogy is probably well worth your attention.
