    Graphic Pearl

    Crysis 3 tells the fate of the final clash between an intelligent race of aliens - the Cepids, and the Earthlings, led by Major Laurence "The Prophet" Barnes, known from the previous two parts.

    When you first contact a Crytek production, a graphic bomb hits. At that time, the game was ahead of all other productions by whole graphic eons, pushing its possibilities to almost unattainable levels. Nine years after the premiere, Crysis 3 looks like it came out two years ago. Meticulousness, graphic richness, particle effects, graphic momentum make an electrifying impression. The game is supposed to please the eye with a cascade of graphic colors and details and it does it perfectly.

    The second, after the graphic design, element that brings the most satisfaction is eliminating enemies. The creators took care of a diverse arsenal of weapons, and with the help of a nanosuit, enemies can be exterminated both silently and as a full-fledged killing machine.

    The gameplay, its momentum, possibilities and operability beat all CoDs, Battlefields and Far Cry. If you are looking for a juicy, full-fledged FPS, Crysis 3 is filled to the brim with action and combat product.

    The only drawback that can be noticed is the random drops in frames per second in this powerful world and a bit wooden cutscenes. Plus, it's the best part of the entire trilogy, crowning the epic finale from the Lingsham Islands to the depths of New York City.

    Rating: 8/10.

    Crysis 3: Great Installation

    Crysis 3 (2013) is a direct sequel to the FPS Crysis 1 & 2 science fiction game series. It continues the series with its equally action packed story, picking up where the previous games left off.

    Prophet is back, once again, this time trying to save NYC. The game has great, top-notch visuals and graphics, great, music and audio, excellent storytelling. It feels a bit redundant after the second game, taking place in the similar area, yet focusing on the aftermath.

    "Prophet is forced to save New York City from CELL after the alien invasion in Crysis 2 (2011)."

    Crysis 3 is a great addition to trilogy and well worth playing. The series is vastly underrated and overlooked, but is one the best Sci-Fi, FPS game series out there. The series is a masterpiece.

    Weakest entry in the trilogy but still a great game overall.

    Finally, FINALLY!!, I was able to play this game, thanks to my new GPU (GTX 970). Being a huge fan of the series, the wait was definitely excruciating but in the end, worth it. I didn't wanna play a Crytek game on low-medium settings since everyone knows they're famous for graphics.

    Story: The third and last part in the Crysis trilogy did some things right, and some things wrong. Having Prophet as the protagonist now instead of Alcatraz (I didn't like this switch at first), the game managed to make you care for your player, which otherwise wouldn't have been possible if your hero doesn't say a single word. His character is further developed. Also, side characters this time at least had better voice acting than the previous part and hence, better singleplayer experience. The alien story really interested me and the stuff shown was definitely good. Got a good conclusion also. It is just a shame that they didn't expand in this area more as there was definitely a lot of potential.

    I didn't like the initial focus on Cell. This series has always been good when they focused on aliens, and stuttered when focused on human enemies. Also, Crytek doesn't know how to make a trilogy. There is hardly an reference or mention of characters from previous two parts, you get a disjointed feeling, same thing happened in Crysis 2.

    Gameplay: Most refined gameplay in the trilogy. The addition of bow was great. It made you really try out the stealth option and made you feel like a silent Predator. Also, thankfully, they removed the usage of suit energy during sprinting mechanism from Crysis 2, it really annoyed me. But still no Maximum speed like the first part . Being able to use alien weaponry was another great addition.

    Levels felt like a mix of both previous part. Crysis 1 had big open world jungle levels while Crysis 2 had smaller city levels, they mixed it them up in this part. It worked sometimes, and when it didn't worked, it added pacing issues. There were times where I was like "This is getting boring".

    Graphics: Graphics are Crytek's specialty and they have reclaimed the graphical throne. This is without a doubt THE BEST LOOKING GAME I have ever played. When you turn up all the settings, your eyes melt due to the graphical fidelity of the game. The lighting, the textures, the facial detail, the grass, yes even the grass was epic, best darn grass I have ever seen in a game, truly next gen stuff. All this eye candy does have a cost, game is really heavy on highest settings. While my FPS kept above 60 FPS, it did dip to 40s in those grassy levels, but I'm not complaining. Unlike other lame ports or recent games which have inflated requirements, this game actually justifies its heaviness.

    Sound: Loved the sound effects. Nice detailed effects of everything around you. No Hans Zimmer was a downer though. Even though the soundtrack was still pretty good with some great pieces in it, there wasn't something quite like the main them of Crysis 2.

    Overall: I have mostly heard average to mediocre things about this game from people ever since its release. After finally playing it, I don't get the hate. I love this series and even though this was the weakest part in the trilogy, it was still great.

    More of the same doesn't necessarily have to be a negative

    Crysis 3 plays almost exactly the same as its predecessor. Other than an upgraded graphics engine that still looks mind blowing on consoles to this day, it feels at times more like an expansion pack than a brand new game. But the gameplay from Crysis 2 was pretty solid, so that's not entirely a negative. It mixes the openness of the first game with the gameplay loop and aesthetic of the second game and it manages to work for the most part. The story is dumb as hell but it has cool concepts, and the alien invaders are still interesting but they're never explored to their full potential. As a third game, it does effectively "close the book" on the trilogy as a whole, which I appreciate since we will likely never get a fourth game and it would irritate me if it ended on a cliffhanger that'll never get resolved (Dead Space 3 DLC? Anyone?).

    A beautiful ride to a dystopian jungle. A masterpiece.

    Beautiful violence. That is what Crysis really is.

    It's the first Crysis game I've tried on a console instead of PC and I must say it looks beautiful.

    Crysis was never just about graphics for me, but gameplay and story. Gameplay doesn't exactly change from Crysis 2, with few additions like the predator bow but the storyline is this iteration's strong point now it's more personal, quoting the game, "it's never been just about the suit", with a great memorable ending.

    Level design is also a major improvement, with 7 beautiful and non-linear levels, which are larger than in Crysis 2, but (of course) smaller than in the original. As for multiplayer, it is quite engaging, and the Hunter mode is brilliant.

    One big letdown is the game's length even with all the side missions and some datapad hunting, the slow and steady stealth playthrough took me only 7 hours 20 minutes. By the way, the datapads contain some very interesting background information with some plot base for possible future games.

    To sum up, the overall impression is that the game is more of a standalone expansion like Warhead was to original Crysis, and not the actual third part of the trilogy, with its shortness and few gameplay changes. However, it's a damn good game, improving on Crysis 2 in everything but the game's length, and it's a damn good game overall. They called him Prophet. And I will remember him.

    Crysis 3 is really a beautiful game. The visuals are just stunning. The textures have been improved to the max and the lighting is memorable. The AI is easy only on casual but Veteran is a perfect difficulty. Super Soldier and Post Human Warrior are INSANE. I do not know why some critics are saying that the AI is bad? That is just ridiculous.

    Crysis 3 is a fantastic game. It really is.

    For the best experience, get the PC version (if you have the right computer that is) but the console version is still good.

    9/10
