The good
The game has you playing as Prophet. As you remember from Crysis 2 he commit suicide and gave the suit to alcatraz who became the new profit. Voice acting is back and it feels good to take part in the chatter.
The visuals got upgraded. As mentioned it looks better than farcry 3 which in itself is almost mind blowing. The game created me with a first level that pulled my rig down to 20fps. Yes, it was that detailed. Luckily the game kept speeding up as the environment got more desolate from the destruction however not less detailed.
The game is the best looking game I have played to date and that makes me wish I had eyefinity and 3-6 screens. 1920x1080 cannot contain the detail of the game. It wants to give you more.
Apart from the stunning visuals the story is more involved this time. The objectives are kinda set piece driven but the games zones fall more towards the open fields Crysis 1 presented rather than the closed alleyways and corridors of Crysis 2.
Did I mention there was a buggy section that felt like Half-life 2 on steroids?
The Bad
The game isn't all sunshine and roses. I got the hunters edition that granted me access to a bow. It was integrated with the story so I can't imagine not having it in the normal version. The other thing is that the bow is so good you will stick to stealth completely and always use that bow. In Crysis 1 you used stealth a lot but once you were spotted it was time to switch to armor and forced to go with the blows. Once an enemy sees a corps in C3 reinforcements crawl out of the woodwork and it starts feeling like just another shooter ...with the no AI turned on.
The game is also rather short clocking in at around 5 hours despite running off and exploring every nook and cranny.
The Awesome
The game has 2 very proper boss fights.
The game is worth a play if u liked Crysis.
You have no idea how much self control I am using here. Look at my eye twitching!
