I'm finally playing Crysis. For a 2007 game it's really good looking. The shooting is less frantic and a lot more tactical than I thought it would be though. Great experience so far.

Hah.

I don’t know if it was intentional but after years and decades of running the “…but will it run crysis though” joke into the ground your very flat

For a 2007 game it's really good looking

got a good chuckle out of me.

The second half of the game is a bit divisive but if you end up enjoying the game despite that I can wholeheartedly recommend the standalone expansion, Crysis Warhead, as well. It fixed some of the issues from the base game while keeping the tactical options and semi-open world.

Both gameplay and story are a little bit more "action movie"-like, but even then, it doesn't compromise the original experience. It's pretty fun.
