The verdict
A cinematic, linear New York nanosuit shooter with great visuals and music, but the remaster is buggy and crash-prone. Skip it if you want Crysis 1's sandbox or multiplayer.
Great for
Fans of cinematic linear sci-fi shooters with nanosuit stealth/armor play and a great soundtrack, ideally on sale
Main risk
Crashes, game-breaking bugs and dumb enemy AI, especially late in the campaign
What changed in the last 30 days
38 recent reviews
Recent negative reviews mention bugs (weapon switching, vanishing upgrade points, late-game crashes), lost saves without Steam Cloud, and a dull, repetitive campaign. Evidence is limited.
