The first game has one preset named “Lefty” for vehicles as well as an option to swap the triggers and bumpers. Talking about controls, one thing that’s worth mentioning is that vehicle controls cannot be changed in the settings for Crysis 2 and Crysis 3 Remastered. Later, a more limited power state becomes available too, increasing melee and jump abilities as well as reducing weapon recoil and sway. Both the armor and cloaking modes can be easily toggled off with a press of R1/L1 and juggling the one energy meter between these and speed (sprint) mode is a unique challenge in itself. This gives the enemy AI an automatic leg up regardless of difficulty. However, if you are already spotted, the cloaking mode does not trick the AI. An armor mode slows you down but makes you impervious to damage, and there’s a cloaking mode as well that opens up stealth kills. Aside from vehicles to navigate, the nanosuit itself has three modes and a glorified sprint ability, all of which use energy. Even during the opening mission of the first game, instead of opting the “on foot” approach like many would do, I grabbed a van and plowed through the environment instead. Sure, you have objectives and non-mandatory side objectives available on the map but how you get to them is completely up to you.

The influences to series like Predator are clear. The overarching story isn’t anything new or ground breaking by today’s standards but it does offer a classic science fiction B-movie feel. The series seems to know how to offer spectacle either through the cutscenes, or through your own making. What content is available paints a great picture for Crysis on consoles.Įven if the narrative of the Crysis trilogy isn’t too deep and will be quite familiar for existing owners, it sure does provide a great backdrop for all the carnage. Still, the package offers three well put together campaigns that perform solidly and often have good map design. There is no denying that it is unfortunate that content is missing, making the originals on PC the only way to play anything beyond the vanilla campaigns. From the outset, this may give the impression of this trilogy being all but inferior to the PC releases. The lack of multiplayer hurts a bit more though, as it could have been something extra to sink teeth into aside from the story. Having Warhead in this package would have been nice to flesh out the narrative just a little more since it takes place during the intermediate events of the first game, but its absence makes some sense since this is a collection of the trilogy to its core.
