    Crysis is in my top 3 all time!

    The graphics are one thing, but why I love it so much is because it’s the only game where you start and end as what you are supposed to be, a super soldier!

    There is no stupid power up’s, no modding your suit, no upgrades nothing you are fully powered from the start and that’s how it’s supposed to be.

    The game is just brilliant and the story compelling. A+

      Halo was very much like this. The overshield and cloaking power ups were so sparingly used in the early games. Did you enjoy Halo as well?

      That’s pretty much just any FPS from before 2010ish, with a few exceptions where it wasn’t purely an FPS and made sense for the games design such as bioshock and deus ex.

        There are upgrades etc in Crysis 2 & 3, but not in Crysis & Crysis Warhead. Those were pretty different, unaffected by the need to run on consoles since they were PC only. The gameplay was way more open too.

        Yea 2/3 added the upgrades stuff which is why I liked it less. Others like that stuff, but then it just became another generic FPS to me

          It’s been awhile, but the first one seemed like it had the best direction gameplay wise. Going off of far off memory at least.

      Sadly the first game hasn’t aged well. I tried to play it not too long ago, and it feels like an old Unreal game.

      Maybe I’ll try it again after my HL2 game. I might not have been in the right frame of mind before.
