Crysis 3 Remastered Review (Vassago Rain)
One of the best games of its generation, and a masterpiece singleplayer game of a kind they simply don't make anymore. Back when it was new, you needed a beast machine, plus it was only available on origin and gimped consoles, which is the chief reason it prompted really bad headlines in gaming magazines, with the memetic 'EA IS IN FINANCIAL CRYSIS!' being the one people are most likely to have seen, as, unfortunately, the game greatly underperformed.
Well, that was then, and this is now. For a very affordable price, you can get the entire crysis trilogy on whatever online PC platform of your choice, remastered, with all the money now going to Crytek itself, and no compromises having been made to the game to run on 30 FPS consoles, or accommodate low res monitors. Thanks to vast advancements in technology, the game looks better than ever, while requiring only a modest machine to max most everything out. Loadtimes used to be very slow, but are now all but instantaneous, even on slow harddrives, and all the various engine upgrades and ability to hold a high framerate finally, makes crysis 3, a game that was already intense compared to the games of its time, play even smoother, especially on a modern day 120-165hz monitor.
The music, voice acting, casting, and especially the story are all exceptional, as you'd expect from the sequel to crysis 2, but they went for a more action hero narrative, with some choice pieces of ham and actual drama, rather than pure post-apocalypse, and the main character gets a voice in this one, and by god, does he like to talk.
If you're a fan of meaty singleplayer action games that are completely self-contained, the way they used to be before DLC and games as services, then this should be a must own, same with crysis 2. Highly recommend.
