Crysis 2 Is Still Incredible In 2022 (Review) 

I hate that linear is like a taboo thing now. Seriously tired of all the bland copy paste open world games nowadays. Exploring just to find the same ol stupid collectibles isn't fun anymore lol

the fact that HANZ ZIMMER did the music for the game that already tells you its a one of a kind game

This game is just ahead of its time. The editing of your weapon in the go is soo underrated. Can’t believe new games don’t do this especially call of duty

The multiplayer in Crysis 2 was addictive as hell, nothing has gripped me like that ever since

Crysis 2 was my favourite too. Replayed it like a year ago, it really does hold up.

I feel so old hearing that this game came out 11 years ago.

I have to be honest. I was at a pawn shop and randomly came across this game; and upon closer inspection of the cover ( which looks awesome, btw) I noticed the year 2023 on the monitor on the building and thought to myself " wouldn't that be cool if next year was a Crysis year?" And, without hesitation, I picked it up for a mere 5 Canadian dollars. I made a good decision that day!

Actually Crysis 3 is my favorite because I feel Crytek combined the elements that made booth Crysis 1 and Crysis 2 great only complaint I have is that Crysis 3 is short.

It’s 2022 and I still love playing crysis 2 even to this day. That’s how you know the game did something right, when you still think about or remember it years later

Loved this game, amazing presentation and soundtrack the grand central station level is still one of my favorites

Just wanna say awsome review and also i think you have a fantastic commentary voice, really enjoyed it. Subbed

"Crysis 2 was just ahead of it's time" That's kind of a running theme for the Crysis series don't you think?

This channel is a game pass subscriber's dream. I love it

I've never played a Crysis game... Didn't get sucked into the whole visual spectacle circle jerk back in the day. Plus I didn't have my own PC. I saw the Remastered versions are in the PS Store though and *was* curious. Cool vid, man

My copy from Steam runs butterly smooth. I'm on Windows 11 with the newest update, all C++ attribution installed, latest NVIDIA software update too. I guess my PC is delicate for gaming so I don't install many other softwares then.

Did you play the Remastered version or the OG?

After over 11 years I'm glad someone is still appreciative after what we got with the stuff we got never the less

I managed to complete this game on the hardest setting and it was so much fun. Some battles took me hours to get past, but that feeling of getting a little further each time you respawn is so much fun to me. This is in my opinion one of the best FPS games ever made and definitely my favourite of the series.

I recently replayed the remastered trilogy. I really, really wish I'd realized I could have bought each game individually. I really just wanted to play the masterpiece that is 2 again and contemplated playing 3. Having to play through 1 again made me cry on more than one occasion.

I loved Crysis Wars (crysis 1 online) Loved 2 and 3 as well.. I didn't like that they didn't expand what could have been an amazing MP game though. It needed big maps, vehicles, more players, like the first one. Once you got good at the parkour and how to use the suit it was amazing how fast you could move around the map strategically on MP while also having to guess what other players were doing as well.. Hopefully Crysis 4 can bring a battlefield level MP (not 2042 lolz) but with the nano suits, awesome weapons, and new things like maybe being able to link nano suit capabilities with other players within 20m or something along those lines... fingers crossed because you know they will push the boundaries visually again... That and it needs to at least have headset support (could care less about vr controllers).

The menu theme song absolutely flabbergasted me the first time I played it.

The novelization of Crysis 2, Crysis Legion by Peter Watts is also awesome. It's told through the first person view of Alcatraz as an after action report and gives more context to the game. If you love sci fi novels it's a must read.

I loved this game soooo much on the 360. I was amazed how good it looked still on that aging system. Soon I want to play it again in all peace. Just for the atmosphere.

first game I got for my first gaming pc back in 2012, and it's still great

I love crysis 2 best in the series. Currently playing the remastered version and this game holds up so well.

i remember playing through on easy and thinking this is a cake walk, then i played on harder difficulties, it’s different, i feel like i have to take my time, strategize how i wanted to take down 4 dudes with a sniper, or maybe ill use camo and just try to get past em. fun times replaying it, sadly i dont have a console to play such game atm. 3:54 FACTS, one thing i loved about the gun costimization.

I played 1-2 back in days and loved them,so yesterday I bought Crysis 3 remastered on PS5 and was very disappointed. Still half way through but already know that Crysis 2 is the best for me. Hopefully Crysis 4 on next Gen will be huge.

Probably my favorite game on the 360. Crysis 3 is also damn good.

I remember how hype I was when this game was coming at. I played the hell out of the Batman games, but I honestly think FPS slowed down after Crysis 2. The fact it still holds up eleven years later is testament it hasn’t been replaced. Idk, it just felt like we were getting industry shifting games a couple times a year. Now I feel like we only get a truly great game every couple years, if we’re lucky. Idk, maybe the widespread inclusion of DLC contributed to this feeling. Maybe I just played less good games after this and the Batman games.

This could help someone, if you are facing screen tear, disable directX11, cap your fps to monitor fps and disable Vsync within Crysis.. that should do it

I played through when I was like 10 over and over again. Just finished the first one from the remastered trilogy. Super excited to play through 2 again. It’s one of my favorite title/series so far. Crysis 1 felt like a Vietnam simulator at some points.

That's RIDICULOUS how fast that building fell.

I'd love a game with Halo's gunplay and enemy variety but also with Crysis' on-the-fly flexibility. The nanosuit is an amazing gameplay tool with armour/power/cloak and the tactical mode.

The first game was quite a tech demo. But crysis 2 has always seemed like the most polished and fleshed- out game in the trilogy to me. Who cares about the more linear missions, the combat is absolutely visceral compared to the first game

3rd Crysis is the best imo. Using the bow with different ammo types, while remaining cloaked, is bad ass!

i also felt crysis 2 is best as i am playing the sequel right now. totally worth it, just a suggestion play it with most recent version with all patches applied

For a 11 year old game the graphics are unreal

So can it run crysis? Because i want to :D

Playing this game now and it has aged better than the first.

Love all the Crysis games, some of the best fps games ever.

I couldn't get behind the gameplay of crisis 1, I tried but couldn't so here I am seeing if crisis 2 is something worth trying

It's nice to finaly find people that actualy like Crysis

Even you misunderstood the story. Crysis 2 has the best story in the franchise: the shifting of responsible from prophet to alcatraz, Ceph's unorthodox way to conquer earth: by releasing body-melting virus, the conflict between CELL-Marine-and Jacob Hargreave, and the best one and mostly get overlooked: being a literally dead man walking with no option but keep moving foward. Yes, the voice actor and plot is silly and kinda predictable, but the presentation of the story is top notch

Gunplay likely feels slugish because animations wont cut until they are complete preventing you from doing another action until current one is complete.

Bro how did you beat this game in 4-5 hours no way this game isn't that short bruh. Also Crysis 2 is my favourite too!

Crysis 1 is the best to replay, 2 was my first tho so it has a special place 3’s setting is probably my favorite tho

Crysis 2 was so badass. My favorite of the trilogy with the first one not far off. Crysis 3 is the weak link imho. It has one level that looks downright incredible. The rest of the game looks solid... but it was just way too short. Even though Crysis 2 has bad voice acting.. there was something about the way that the story unfolds that keeps you engaged. That and the fact that Hans Zimmer's score is just so incredible... it just keeps you engaged and wanting to push forward. Crysis 3 didn't have that vibe. I remember feeling like I loved the premise of Crysis 3 with the urban jungle thing but we just didn't get enough of it. I hate games that are as short as Crysis 3 because the pacing is just way too fast. You just start enjoying yourself and then the game hurries you off to the next section. It's like the level "Welcome to the Jungle" that whole part of the game should've been extended into about 3-4 levels and the game would've been so much better. Crysis 2 was a short game but it was definitely longer than Crysis 3. Actually Crysis 2 is probably the perfect length for that type of game... and the level design is just so good in Crysis 2. The only thing Crysis 3 has over Crysis 2 was graphics.

i think people were right about the term can it run Crysis, but to that noticed buggy implementation too

I just finished the remastered version. I definitely agree with almost everything you just said. I'm happy having experienced such a game that was way ahead of it's time.

Got a copy in Germany for 5 Euros... however, I had the misfortune of buying what must have been the only copy without an English dub and could only choose between German or Turkish dubs :/

the multiplayer was by far the most I've ever enjoyed an FPS.

I am re-downloading it right now as we speak. It's included with my EA membership. So why not🤷 I really miss this game

Still playing the og and i wanna say its hella fun

Not even gonna talk about the remaster?

It is so unfortunate that the mutiplayer is not playable anymore except for community mods like crysis reborn.

I've never gotten the whole linear versus non-linear debate. Crysis was great. Crysis 2 was great. Both are great! (Three was ... ok.)

Crysis 1 also has the weapon mods.

You could customize weapons back in crysis 1 in 2007.

the graphics at 4k are still wow tbh

Loved crysis 1 and 2. Never played the 3rd one as it looked boring to me.

I always play these games like crysis 2 and 1 and 3

One of my favorite games

I don't know if people let alone gamers have the brain capacity to think deeply on much of anything, [not that it really takes that much clarity to even see] BUT I've noticed with the majority of games over the last 20 years it's almost always the same theme, martial law, post industrial society in ruins, economy crashing, internment camps etc. and futuristic elements always thrown in and why is every character have the same suit?!! look at Crysis and Timeshift, and Project Snowblind, and HALO etc. they all have so cloaks or armored suits etc. they all look the same, so my point is these video games that are churned out at a fast rate that cost millions to product aren't strictly there for our entertainment, we seem to think everything that's supplied to us is for our joy alone, no, there's a deeper more political reason for them with the settings and plots they involve, I've heard it a long time ago by very smart people that the pentagon actually is behind a lot of these games, and that these themes that are present in these games are essentially prepping the gamers and peoples minds for what's to come in real life, predictive programming is the word you may hear from time to time, and it's so apparent in these games, these games that i love by the way, I'm not hating on them I'm just saying nobody ever really goes into that very important fact, and i don't know if ppl have noticed we are living through the crumbling of a empire as I type this, all these themes in these games is preparing your mind for when these things start happening in real life, so when the S*** does hit the fan most people at least on a conscious/subconscious level have been familiarized with them, so you're more easily guided and malleable and obedient to those agendas and laws that will be coming in the near future..

Not ready to be played Needs a lot of improvements

This game seems pretty good but I also really really like titan fall

One more thing fov max it out thank me later Id say its plot is pretty good Also the remasters are hitting steam soon i recommend it since it goes to the devs

Such an underrated game

I don’t think ai is better than halo ever and I love this game.

Although crysis 2 is a really great game, crysis 3 takes all of the issues crysis 2 has and fixes them, well maybe it's not as dramatic and michael bay like but it's still better in everything else. Except the length that's also very short.

Short?? It took me 33 hours to complete!

hell jeah of course,

Crysis 2 was my favourite too!

The game is fine, but I don’t think it’s anything special. Now I’m not that far into it, but yeah it’s pretty average as a game.

This game is true Masterpiece

Linear games are the way to go but only if you are confident in your story, open world games are just time wasters with way too many useless collectables and towers...its tired

Uhm, Aherm. .. The uh, Crysis 3 TDM Lobby Need's 4 More Players to begin!!. ... .. >:D Join!!! On Xbox 360. .. ELITE!!

BF2042 ripped Crysis in more ways than one. I mean just look at that cover art. Wonder where Id seen that before.

2&3 is better than 1 imho. 1 is a tech demo not a game

I thought Crysis 1 was just okay, and Crysis 2 turned me away from the franchise. I abandoned the campaign halfway. Couldn't stand the bullet sponges enemy.

It was ok, not incredible. A 6/10 for me

Doing a review of Crysis 2 in late 2022 and yet ... it's not the Remastered version? Come on.

actually, this game just overhated becase some of thoose loud mouth people on the internet just wanted to make sure you think this game are bad even this game actually decent. yeah sure crysis 1 are more open, but the map are bit empty and the gameplay is bit lacking due to how clunky it is.

Ooooooo ❤️❤️

It wasn't worth playing when it released, sadly

hi

I’ve been playing through the remastered trilogy this week. I’ve been so hooked playing through these games back to back. Just as good now as they were back in the day, perfection 🤌🏻
