Crysis 2 Remastered's enhanced visuals, featuring sparse voxels and Octree Global Illumination, make it a standout among Xbox One and PlayStation 4 shooters of the current generation. Remastered versions of all three major games are included in the Crysis Remastered Trilogy. Each game has had graphic and audio upgrades to bring it up to more current standards.
A new graphic overhaul in Crysis Trilogy Remastered brings the most infamous shooter in PC history up to date. For those who haven't played the original Crysis or its sequel, Crysis 2 is a classic first-person shooter developed by Crytek.
Was the Crysis Remastered Trilogy any good?
Crysis is a first-person shooter that puts you in the shoes of a soldier with superhuman powers who wears a nanosuit.

I'm confused - Steam reviews are not good for this one. Most point out it's just a poor console port. So what is it now? Crysis was a PC game, so if it's now just a poor console port, I'm not really interested.

I feel the same man. Ive been replaying games from the xbox 360 days. I looked at my Nintendo Switch library and its 70% ports from the 360 days. Borderlands 2. Bioshock 2. Resident evil games. All these great games are more fun and arent bloated 100 hour busywork open world crap. The older i get the more i realize that time is a fleeting thing and spending half a game roaming around a boring open world is not “gameplay”. Give me a tight single player linear campaign over a bland open world any day. I do have hope for Dying Light 2 and God of War ragnarok.

When the PS3 came out I switched to consoles... But my Windows 7 laptop last week decided to fry itself or something, the power system is completely shot only the battery worked and I had to get a new laptop, so I spent about $1,200 (between tax and I had to get an external DVD drive) and got an Acer nitro 5, figured I might as well get one that will last a long time (a gaming laptop versus a $400 "good enough" laptop...) And now I can get my favorite console games that are on PC on it (like Mass effect trilogy, Witcher 3, Doom 2016 and I guess this crisis trilogy, among others) and take them with me all in one package on a trip, instead of buying another handheld like a steam deck for almost the same price.

Can't wait to climb into the nano suit once more.

Took a shot on getting them remastered after watching your review and have to say thus far crysis 2 is awesome.

Crysis 2's main problem, and one they couldn't fix here because it would take too much low level work, is the AI - in 3 you can pretty much play stealth properly if you want, but in 2 if one enemy spots you the entire world instantly knows where you are and that's the only real thing that can ruin the fun.

Crysis 2 is so underappreciated. Whatever it may have lost in shrinking the levels it gained in incredible environmental detail, variety, and pacing. It's deception of a Hollywood New York disaster in a cinematic Half-Life style journey through a single day and night is extremely well-done. It starts out sneaking past Cell in the early morning sunrise before escalating into full-on street battles with the Ceph through the night for a desperate evacuation. It's soundtrack is also by far the best. The first and the third game's are ok, and share similar themes but are nowhere near as memorable. Crysis 2 has tracks like "SOS New York" and "Rampage" that sound like a high budget hollywood Hans Zimmer blockbuster and it's the kind of thing we don't really see in games.

Ever since I saw the first tech demo gameplay showcase and the cover article for game informer my jaw dropped. Of course the switch from og xbox to 360 blew my mind as well. But crysis 2 looks SO much better than almost everything else out at the time. I wish games would go back to innovating the same way we got mid xbox 360/ps3 generation. Where they actually take the interactivity of the game world to new levels. It almost seems like we've regressed in many ways, they prioratize raw graphics/textures/poly counts.. but when it comes to the GAMEPLAY and how the game world reacts to you, it feels sorely lacking. I still find it crazy that fear, a game from 15 years ago has better more realistic AI than 98 percent of games that come out nowadays.

Especially how throwing like one barrel drains all your energy. Still though, they really make you feel like a super solider who's strong but not too strong for all the fun and tension to be drained out of it.

I'm sad multiplayer isn't included, I absolutely loved Crysis 2 multiplayer and always wished it had the kind of fame that COD had at the time bc I found this game just as fun if not more

[@chirpywiggins5796]

These actually run really well on switch and look even better on the OLED

[@DEVILTAZ35]

If you call 30 with poor pacing well lol

[@martiallaw9509]

I was almost at the point of abandonment but this is truly an unique review because there is passion here and so on to PC purchase. i'm an Nintendo Switch Gamer primarily lol but PC is KING. Thanks for this awesome review.

[@M1tZk1]

I love the Crysis franchise and I'm a but proud since Crytek is a German developer in Frankfurt close to where I live. I was always blown away by these games and loved the power fantasy amd versatility of the suit. I also loved the weapon mod system which was now implemented in Battlefield 2042. The story isn't the best but the Gameplay is king. Too bad there is no multiplayer but hopefully the remaster is an indicator for a Crysis 4

[@AdsAreRuiningEverything]

I played the OG trilogy on a GTX 960 back in the day, now I get to play them all on a 3090 and see it in it's full glory

[@tragicjack6815]

Love the Crysis franchise! My personal favorite is 3 because of how it leans in to the power fantasy of the NanoSuit.

[@Sithplayer]

Started with 2 and eventually played them all. Can’t wait to do it again

[@randocallahan667]

PlayStation nation?

[@FJTabb]

Was part 1 worth buying?

[@Sithplayer]

@@FJTabb I think so. But if they’re releasing a trilogy pack I’d wait till that drops

[@Sithplayer]

@@randocallahan667 Xbox Rox

[@FJTabb]

@@Sithplayer It's in the Playstation store on sale for 21 a piece for 2 and 3 if you have PS Plus . Or 50 for the trilogy. I don't care about the 10 dollars, but I'm like if it's not good why buy it.

[@micblades1117]

I liked the Multiplayer for 1 and 2.

[@ChaosWolfNinja]

These games were a gem and it's sad it didn't get the full recognition it should have got. Glad to see it coming back. Let's if it makes new fans to the Crysis universe.

[@majorgear1021]

Maybe . I had trouble finding it. I searched for updates about the first remaster and stumbled upon the trilogy by accident.

[@SolidSnake240]

It would've gotten more recognition if more than a handful of people could actually run it on their pc setup lol

[@mikeoxmells-grim796]

Only reason I bought this. PC enthusiast, Rtx 3090, Ryzen 5900X. 2 and 3 use the hardware perfectly (For crysis 3 you need to go to nvidia panel and set vsync to "Fast" to optimise your gpu usage). For crysis 1 remastered, the same issue that plagued the original game persists. Low gpu usage regardless of settings as it does not ultilise the CPU well....to my knowledge It only makes use of 1 or 2 cores, causing a bottleneck.

[@marvin_demon]

I love these games. The stealth is excellent. You have to plan your routes, be tactic. When i play stealth, i always uncloak before pulling the trigger and then switch back to stealth. Works really good.

[@jocking0]

Wishing they included the expansion to the original crisis I prefer crisis warhead only because not having to pick up weapons makes it that much better

[@philliplaroche3561]

I bought it yesterday which would be the 15th of October 2021 originally played the first two on PlayStation 3 they still hold up it is well worth your money but if you're used to playing call of duty where everything has to be so fast-paced this is a different fast pace nonetheless I super enjoy it highly recommended it

[@jaysoegaard]

I love your videos but love those little facts that you through around as well.

[@Pete-vz5uj]

Am playing it on PS5, wish it took advantage of the hardware a bit more however I bought this as soon as I saw it on sale, this is good value. Playing Crysis yesterday, still a such a good game. Just messing around with the soldiers.

[@killershot2002]

Spot on as have loved the trilogy for a long time. Keep up the great work…. 😁👍🏼

[@cliffsangelsphotography]

I didn't even know there was a Remaster. Thanks for bringing this to my attention

[@jamesvancam]

I wanna play this on my PS5!

[@TubePlasma]

@Truth Seeker yeah just stfu man. Without consoles PC woudn't even be where they at 🤦🏻

[@JonBlack413]

@Truth Seeker 🥱🥱🥱

[@supertrix6628]

crysis 1st one, in the jungle was just such an epic story build up action run, its why it defined everything at the time. nobody whom did not play C1 can say they did not have absolute fun doing so if they could RUN IT -d best jungle crawl game ever made, crysis wars was a really close to as good as 1 was epic jungle run n battles

[@icandodgebullets7869]

Just bought the remastered trilogy for PS4 as i wanted to platinum a few games and thought this would be perfect. I remember downloading a pirated copy of crysis on my PC but it couldn't handle it back in the days lol and I never got around to playing it even on low settings as I had a crap PC back then.

[@hectormaciasayala1852]

Well talking about performance. My Ryzen 3 2200G handles original Crysis in high settings, but the remastered version can barely do the low settings. So I'd go for the original, and the visual difference ain't that huge. A similar story for Crysis 2. Only the third was better optimized than the original, as I had to turn off motion blur before to make it playable and now it is playable with it enabled. I don't have right now a dedicated graphics card, because their prices are truly unbelievable, sky high no way I'm paying that money.

[@DEVILTAZ35]

It's probably the screen space global illumination. It can hammer older rigs.

[@michaelmacarthur8322]

Now on Steam \o/ Yay!

[@tstuart9636]

I’m actually super sad the multiplayer isn’t included. Crysis had an amazing multiplayer in my opinion. It felt super unique. And criminally underrated

[@greggblack8205]

I thought it was hell of a lotta fun too regardless of its lack of depth

[@robotsex111]

I've always been a fan of the Crysis games. I have always felt they were underrated. Thanks for the review!

[@bradreed4414]

Never played these before. Saw an outside Xbox video showing all three of them. I have now bought them on my ps5

[@SkydrawnIV]

I absolutely loved Crysis 2! I can't wait for it to launch on steam. Definitely my favourite multiplayer game on 360 besides GTA IV and Halo 3. I just wish they made the remaster with multiplayer 😩

[@Jonathon82]

I bought the 3rd one but itching for the second one that one was my fav. Just wish they had multiplayer

[@just1njoylife]

hey thanks man i love your reviews. i bought the game at 49.99 since you recommended it. its a fun game, looks great but it feels kinda short even on delta difficulty
