About Crysis as a game (not a benchmarking tool)
I liked em all, Crysis1 for Mod abilities+Campaign , Crysis2 was great but I never did any mods, and 3 was....average I guess (IMO) Subjective to opinion, we ALL vary.
You might explore Ggmanlives' channel where he posted his Crysis 2 review today and a few days earlier when he revisited the series. Personally, I only purchased and played Crysis 2, which is enough to make me avoid buying any Crysis titles again. The story is at best average, the gameplay is dull, and the MP exists mainly for show.
I subb'd, guy is awesome, takes me back to the old way to review games, amazing, he even has older games on there like Alien Trilogy from PS1
Crysis 1 (and Warhead) stands out as the top entry in the series. The visuals were stunning, combat and enemies were engaging, and there were numerous ways to complete missions. The physics were impressive for experimenting with explosives, etc. Crysis 2 was a decent game but didn’t match the quality of the earlier titles. The wildlife and plant life disappeared, and Crysis 3 felt too dull. The graphics simply couldn’t compensate.
Crysis had its strengths but felt stretched with too much travel time and wasted breaks. Crysis 2 seemed solid, though some missing story elements were filled in with comic-style additions. Crysis 3 was acceptable, but the narrative didn’t quite resonate. The soundtracks in both games are impressive. Don’t forget to install the DX11 update for Crysis 2 to enjoy its visuals fully. Otherwise, the graphics feel quite lackluster.
I played Crysis 2 and 3, not much for Crysis 1 since it kept crashing for me. They don’t stand out much in terms of quality. The stories aren’t especially engaging, though I liked the action with the power armor elements. Outside of that, I don’t see them as great games—more like testing tools. Generally, I treat most AAA titles as benchmarks, but Crysis was the top one. In 2015 there were plenty of benchmarks, such as Shadow of Mordor and Mad Max... Actually, Mordor came out in 2014... Fine, they’re all visually impressive.
