Alright, so I bought this 3 pack in sale which was recently over at Xbox Store, just out of the sheer nostalgia, which I admittedly, don't remember much... and also because there is distinct lack of FPS in general.
I won't we covering much of Crysis The First, because I played it many times on PC and everybody knows pretty much everything about it.
I was shocked, how good 2&3 holds up to this day, games are pretty much just straight PC version with X360 buttons overlay. Thankfully there weren't any big changes made. It looks on par with good looking last generation games, it runs on 60FPS no issues and it plays extremely well. It's truly the time like this where you can appreciate the massive downfall in games quality from the mighty 360/PS3 era. I don't really know about anything from at least last gen which feels this "cinematic" while retaining good level of player agency, open approach to a problem and stuff like that. 2&3 still feels fresh and arguably better than it's current gen counterparts.
I highly recommend it to any fan of FPS.
However as a release it's not perfect.
- No Crysis 2 MP, which sucks, because that MP was legendary
- No Crysis Warhead, which seems to be lost in history
- Games are pretty short, I was able to finish them over time span of 2 days and Crysis The Next will probably be nothing like this. So lack of good times ahead
- These games makes me really salty, about current state of gaming in general.
But happy to report, that all three games running fine on XSX (presumably same thing on PS5 as well)
