Why It Rocks

 * 1) The graphics are fantastic for a game that launched in 2007 achieved thanks to the CryEngine 2.
 * 2) * The tropical environments are beautiful and still hold very well up to this day.
 * 3) Action packed and intense gameplay.
 * 4) The suit you given to use that is known as the Nanosuit grants you many abilities such as temporary invisibility and armor for extra protection.
 * 5) * Also, the nanosuit allows superhuman feats, such as ultra high jumps, inhuman strength and speed.
 * 6) * The nanosuit provides you also with a cloak mode, which allows for a stealth approach.
 * 7) * Each mode is limited by the suit's battery, which decreases whenever you perform an action related to that mode. This means that energy management is important, especially on higher difficulty levels.
 * 8) Great soundtrack by Inon Zur.
 * 9) * The soundtrack itself fits very well with the game's setting of the tropical island that the game is set in.
 * 10) The player fights both North Korean and extraterrestrial enemies in various environments around an isolated island.
 * 11) Smooth gameplay that rarely lags or slow downs.
 * 12) A great multiplayer with lots of content.
 * 13) Great voice acting.
 * 14) The game offers open world stages which can be explored freely.
 * 15) It is considered one of the best FPS games of all time and one of the highest rated along with Half-Life 2.
 * 16) The remaster was the first Xbox game to feature ray tracing.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Very short main campaign.
 * 2) The PC version's requirements are insane and highly demanding due to the game relying on a single thread, despite at the time dual core and even quad core CPUs existing. Even the Remastered version suffers from this problem. This spawned a meme called But, can it run Crysis?
 * 3) Turkish language is exclusive to the Turkish retail release, as the Steam version lacks Turkish language support.
 * 4) The framerate is very bad on the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions and the remaster on console. But if you play the remaster on PS5 or Xbox Series X/S, the framerate problems should go away.
 * 5) The remaster is a dumbed-down version of the original game as it looks graphically worse, this being because it's based on the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions.

Reception
Upon its release, Crysis was met with critical acclaim. Aggregating review websites GameRankings and Metacritic rated the PC version 90.23% and 91/100, the Xbox 360 version 83.98% and 81/100 and the PlayStation 3 version 80.90% and 81/100.

GameSpot awarded Crysis a score of 9.5 out of 10, describing it as "easily one of the greatest shooters ever made."
