Aside from raytracing and minor visual improvements, not much else has been done in this remaster. They didn't even bother to fix enemies spawning in behind You which on higher difficulties is troublesome and ends up in a loading screen at worst. That issue is persistent on the original as well so it's safe to assume They didn't even play test this. Just copied, pasted and off on the market it goes, for some easy money (maybe they can resurrect their 5 studios that They lost in 2016 with money gained from this joke of a trilogy "remaster") There's no point in even buying this, You can still get the original on Origin for a fraction of this price on keyshops (buying it straight from Origin is a scam since it matches prices with the remaster) and it works great, looks roughly the same minus the raytracing and has a dead multiplayer (rip gamespy) that you can revive using Radmin VPN and nanowars discord. Yeah They didn't even bother bringing back the multiplayer in the remasters so it's really not worth it.Show moreShow less

In the original the A.I always knew where you were. No matter if you were cloaked or not. In this remaster they didn't fix that. What's the point of stealth? The game doesn't reward you for it. It feels like your being punished. A.I is the deal breaker for me. On the bridge, if you stay in the tank you'll die. If you go on foot cloaked with a C4 you have to constantly stop to recharge the suit. And once you get up to the tank and throw the C4 your suit dies and the A.I insta kills you. Because they knew where you were the whole time. Now, I understand how game physics work but you have to build in a little ignorance [ for lack of a better word ] to to A.I for the game to work. Imagine playing Splinter Cell, all the lights are off and you are crouch walking 30 ft away from the enemy. But their head is following you the entire time. And as soon as you stand up they shoot you. That's what happens in this game. You'll be on a rooftop not even moving and an enemy in the courtyard will say "I heard something" and aimbot kicks in for all 12 of them. I hate this about games. Don't buy this. The original looks just as good and is cheaper.Show moreShow less

Excellent HD port. Thank you for re-releasing Crysis 2 Remastered on Steam. I'm really glad I have patiently waited one-year to end Epic Game Store timed-exclusivity. Pros: -Supports high resolution DPI -No longer requires Origin client to launch the game -High Resolution Texture -includes NVIDIA DLSS 2.0 support -FoV Slider -Raytracing support -cheaper and affordable -animation now rendered at higher framerate instead of rendered in 30fps from the original Crysis 2 (2010) version Cons: -No FSR technology included -Does not include Multiplayer -Lacks Mod support tool Verdict: It's very good sci-fi action first person shooter game with high resolution assets. If you're releasing Crysis 4, please release it on Steam. No more EGS timed-exclusive!Show moreShow less

Lots of glitches, some to the point where I fall through the floor, and get stuck behind buildings. Pity, as plays really well, with a good feel and with decent controls. Just not quite ready for release yet. Will leave for a week or two, and hope for a patch before I reopen.Show moreShow less

MY RATING: ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ ✘ ✘ 8 / 10 Crysis polarizes When Crysis 2 saw the light of day around 10 years ago, the game had a difficult time with some fans. Crysis was a technical masterpiece in its time, but it ate the most modern hardware for breakfast and, according to Crytek, was pirated to an absurd extent. To solve the problem of pirated software, Crytek turned its focus to consoles with Crysis 2. Apart from the technical challenges, Crytek also broke new ground in terms of content in order to appeal to an even broader audience. The sprawling jungle levels of the previous game have been replaced by the graphically chic New York city backdrop. As a result, the flow of the game became more linear, many things were less destructible and the tactical aspect of the predecessor largely fell by the wayside. Also the story tied only vaguely to the first Crysis. But what is it actually about in Crysis 2 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2890494847 As mentioned at the beginning, the setting is New York City, where things go haywire. People are getting sick, Marines are called to help and the big corporation C.E.L.L. (Crynet Enforcement & Local Logistics) is trying to contain the disease by all means. The story thus begins a few years after the events of the predecessor. In Crysis we also found out that the North Korean army encountered alien technology in the Pacific and upon contact with it the aliens known as Ceph were released. And it is precisely these Ceph that invade New York in the form of alien spores and infect large parts of the population. The US military sends soldiers to get the situation under control. We play Alcatraz, part of the marine squad that is brought to New York in a submarine and is immediately greeted and attacked by angry aliens. The team around Alcatraz dies and he himself is seriously injured. Fortunately, the nanosuit soldier Prophet, whom we already know from the first part, shows up and saves us. When we wake up the world is different. Not only that New York has meanwhile become the target of the large-scale Ceph attack, Alcatraz suddenly wears the Nanosuit... https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2890494882 When Alcatraz enters devastated New York for the first time in the Nanosuite, he is immediately greeted by C.E.L.L. agents attacked. Their client, the biotech company Crynet, developed the nanosuit and of course now wants the thing back. Because Prophet didn't appear to be particularly cooperative in this regard, the mercenaries have orders to finish him off. And now everyone thinks Alcatraz is Prophet... At least Prophet told us that we urgently need to contact the scientist Dr. Gould should go because he could help us. And so we sneak, shoot and brawl our way through New York in search of Gould. The storyline of Crysis 2 follows the points set in the introduction throughout the game. The single-player campaign, which lasts around eight to ten hours, sends us on a linear path through the devastated New York and confronts us with a wide variety of factions. However, the plot remains relatively meager. The story is staged decently, but the characters all seem like decals from any action movie you've ever seen in one way or another. But you can forgive the game's narrative weaknesses because it's not primarily about the plot but about the action. And this is exactly where the second part moves at a very high level. Basically, Crysis 2 Remastered is and remains a first-person shooter, in which we move linearly through defined areas and try to eliminate the opponents, who are always in the majority. And this is where the second part of the series differs significantly from the first. In Crysis, the game world was relatively open, so you could find your own solutions and actively avoid enemies. The levels open in selected sections and allow enemies to dodge something. The great freedom of the first part, however, gives way overall to a guided experience. But that can be overcome comparatively well, because Alcatraz controls precisely and can fall back on a limited but well-balanced arsenal of weapons. So you can choose between pistols, automatic firearms, shotguns and sniper rifles, which you can take from opponents or find in the game world. The actual playful highlight in Crysis 2 is the Nanosuit. The powerful suit has a number of abilities that will give you an advantage over your opponents. As long as the suit has energy that automatically recharges over time after it is used up, you can, for example, disguise yourself in order to stab enemies in the back. If you prefer a direct confrontation, you can also strengthen the armor for a limited time and thus better withstand enemy fire. In addition to these two main abilities that you use regularly, there are also smaller tricks that help you in special situations. For example, thermal vision can be used to locate opponents even if you have to walk through fog. Taken together with the occasionally built-in, albeit very short, vehicle passages, Crysis 2 Remastered shooter friends offers a good and balanced gaming experience. The only downside is the artificial intelligence of your opponents. The AI makes little effort to take cover effectively. Instead, opponents often run relatively purposefully into your line of fire. In addition, the opponents often have impaired perception and routinely follow their route even if a dead comrade is a few meters away from them. Despite the rather modest AI, Crysis 2 Remastered is relatively challenging at times, which is simply due to the mass of enemies you face. In this respect, a targeted exercise of the Nanosuit skills is central to success, because Alcatraz doesn't hold up too much on its own. If you take tissue samples from the enemy aliens, which is the case relatively regularly from the second half of the game, you can improve the nanosuit individually. For example, you can unlock a jump attack or minimize the volume of the steps to be able to sneak up better. The updates are not really substantial, but they leave a certain amount of room to influence one's own playing style. In addition, you can influence the values of the weapons with various weapon modifications such as silencers. And what about the "can is run Crysis"? Well, that's probably a question everyone should ask themselves first, but it's certainly less of a problem these days. Crysis 2 Remastered is of course not a remake and accordingly you can already see on one or the other corner that the game is a few years old. Nevertheless, it is damn pretty to look at and for nVidia owners there are several ray tracing quality levels which, among other things, ensure realistic reflections such as reflections in puddles or in the paintwork of vehicles. From the second highest ray tracing setting, the Nanosuit can see in window panes or in certain metallic surfaces. Although these effects are noticeably at the expense of performance, you can tease out significantly more frames with activated DLSS and thus play smoothly even with fully cranked graphics settings. Review date: January 11, 2023 MY PROS AND CONS: ✔ good performance ✔ new lighting ✔ Sharper textures ✔ fancy ray tracing ✔ Fun nanosuit gameplay ✔ harmonious staging ✘ linear level design ✘ Story with gaps and contradictions ✘ occasionally stupid AI with dropouts PLAYED WITH: ⌨️ 🖱 🎧 ⮩ VISIT ME IN MY LITTLE WORLD https://store.steampowered.com/app/2096600/Show moreShow less

Unpopular opinion: I don't like Crysis 2. It's my least favorite of the trilogy. My reasons why: > This game was made for consoles. It is a consolized and linear experience. Crysis 2 thus offers much less freedom than Crysis 1 does. Like many similar 2010s era shooters, Crysis 2 wants to hold your hand and tell you what to do at every turn. It doesn't respect player choice in the same way Crysis 1 does. This is fine for a while but after the first few times, your game experience becomes aggravating. > I've always wanted to play Crysis like a immersive sim. The Crysis games do offer some of that experience: branching pathways, multiple choices, RPG skill trees etc. You want to play Crysis like it's a Deus Ex game. Sadly, Crytek does not support that non linear experience enough. This is especially the case with Crysis 2 which, again, tries to hand hold you. > Bugs bugs bugs. Ugh. The game repeatedly crashed for me when I tried to reload a checkpoint. Even after Googling the problem, I was unable to find a solution. Repeated technical glitches made the game less fun for me. Recommendations for Specific Gamers Graphics/Settings Enjoyers Gamers who loved the lush tropical beauty of Lingshan will be dismayed by Crysis 2. The setting–that of a destroyed New York City–looks grimy and janky. That's fine but the devs never bothered to vary the color scheme. Everywhere you look you see gray and black hues. Crysis 2 never wows you in the way Crysis 1 does. Platinum/Achievement Hunters It's not hard to 100% this game. You get most of the achievements in your first playthrough. You can play your first playthrough on maximum difficulty. The collectibles are not hard to find and there are not too many to get. Music Enjoyers Hans Zimmer helped make the Crysis 2 soundtrack. It is a hit or miss experience. You'll love the game during those melodic piano sections. Otherwise not so much. My least favorite track was the intro theme which feels worn out after a few listens. FPS Shooter Enjoyers Crysis 2 is a decent FPS shooter. The weapons are balanced and there are many you can use. Enemies are challenging so long as they don't get buggy. The action set pieces and gameplay loops are satisfying enough. Plenty of objects in the environment you can pick up or blow up. Stealth Enjoyers Crysis 2 can be a struggle to stealth through in the initial levels. But once you get the right upgrades: oh man! You can sneak through a whole level while invisible! Enemy AI is jittery and they will shoot for no reason at times. Still, Crysis 2 offers a decent stealth experience. If you want more of the same, play Crysis 3 which gives you a much better stealth game experience. Overall Rating : 6.5/10, Crysis 1 is better.Show moreShow less

”Oh, look! Yet another remaster!” I cannot say that I had high expectations for this one, especially after the horrendous Crysis Remastered that was, in some aspects, even worse than the original. Moreover, the continuous omission of the multiplayer part still hurts my poor heart… Nevertheless, to my pleasant surprise, Crysis 2 Remastered is a superior version that is worth playing to relive this first-person shooter experience in its new audiovisual coat that makes it seem more polished, bringing all the sweet details you would expect. But, just like with the first instalment, the price tag for the original owners still leaves a bittersweet taste in my mouth. Anyway, some years ago, I considered Crysis 2 to be an improvement narrative-wise while being a step-back gameplay-wise. My younger self just could not accept the new changes—now I am torn, though! Even though I still love its plot the most, I started enjoying its gameplay more and perhaps appreciating its additions, even if some are not up to my liking. So, let us delve into it! This time around, you happen to be in the city of New York, which is under a strict lockdown due to the awakening of the ancient alien species. While the army is busy fighting them, mercenaries from a private military contractor C.E.L.L. roam the streets, purging everything that stands in their way. Thus, it is up to you to get rid of these threats! Naturally, one lonely man would not stand a chance against these overwhelming odds, so that is when a powerful Nanosuit that enhances your abilities comes to play—simply put, you are a living weapon. And perhaps the best hope the human race currently has. While such a premise does not sound very original, its focus on numerous people having their own agendas, even during the ongoing alien invasion, makes it more intriguing to follow. That is why I adore its narrative, as it is no longer about the battle between “good” and “evil”; a lot is going on behind the curtains, and even these unearthly visitors have their reasonings. Hence, as you progress, you discover more and more layers of this mess. Now, I would not call it a masterpiece of storytelling. The themes are not that fleshed out, but I still fancy how it at least tries to make you think about the morals behind others’ behaviour in this conflict, mainly because their actions influence the lives of the city’s survivors. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2889643352 Consequently, this sudden replacement of the environment from the lovely and peaceful beaches of tropical islands to this concrete jungle naturally brings various gameplay changes. And while Crysis 2 implements them well, I would say it could push them more. For example, a lot of encounters have more of a vertical nature now, forcing you to fight foes at every corner and floor; however, the levels became more linear, especially when compared to its predecessor. Thus, despite providing you with new solid opportunities on how to approach the situations, it also takes other options, ones I was used to, away from you. That is a bit strange and ambivalent take which is still enjoyable for what it is, but I feel the loss. Still, such a shift allows for new joyful advantages. Like, a bunch of cars scattered around can serve as a temporary defensive position as well as a timed bomb—or you can even kick them at others. There are naturally many more various objects lying around, presenting you with possibilities one would expect from its environment. The enhanced mobility of the Nanosuit goes hand to hand with it, allowing you to perform higher jumps, quickly grab ledges or do swift slides—all of that makes both movement and combat more fun, as it allows for better positioning. Therefore, being agile is crucial for survival, especially on higher difficulties. Yet, when you get into it and obliterate some enemies in the process, it feels incredibly satisfying. Sadly, there is still that one weird mechanic that I cannot fully wrap my head around. That would be the automatic depletion of the suit’s power while running; before, you had the option to choose a Speed mode and become faster, yet that is suddenly not possible. It seems strange that “upgraded” abilities devolved like that, but given how our software tends to do so, it is perhaps not that unrealistic for it to happen in this universe, as well… https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2889652064 While that can be a bit annoying at times, the rest makes up for it—and the combat only gets better! Not only because of the abovementioned features but also due to the new weaponry and abilities. By upgrading the suit, you can lean either towards the stealthy or action side; however, combining both makes you more versatile, and doing so made the journey more entertaining for me. Yet, even with a stealthy approach, you have to act fast because foes tend to check on each other via radio, so once someone does not respond, they start investigating. Thus, even a tiny error can turn the situation into a frenetic shootout, adding to the chaos, and I loved that! https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2889653762 Nevertheless, even with such powerful equipment, enemies can make your time difficult; soldiers might use electrified pellets, and aliens can unleash energy bursts to disrupt your Nanosuit’s energy. Then, our unearthly friends are also more aggressive, often engaging in melee, as well. That makes encounters with them different, sweetly changing the pace and making the playthrough feel fresh. But I still miss their octopus-y design from its predecessor, where they looked strangely, and it seemed more iconic for the franchise. Anyway, you will find yourself more often in the middle of the fight between the said two factions, which makes it more hectic in a good way. And that is all portrayed via an updated audiovisual spectacle! Even though Crysis 2 was already beautiful enough, it had some limitations due to being ported on dated consoles back in the day. To name some: certain textures looked way worse, and a thirty-frames-per-second lock plagued various animations. Due to issues like that, this instalment always felt the most problematic in this regard, as the rest of the series seems to be more polished and coherent with their looks (except for that previous atrocious “remaster”!). That and much more got improved, and the new lighting makes certain scenes more realistic. Hence, it is an enhancement, one that brings a bit of fresh air to this experience as a whole. So, that is why I am fine with recommending Crysis 2 Remastered because, at its core, it is an enjoyable first-person shooter that actually got proper care now, unlike its predecessor. It is still worth playing even after the years, but the current price tag – especially for the owners of the original game – seems way too much for me, so better wait for a sale, as it will always be there for you anyway. PC Specs and PerformanceI played it with an i5 8300H, GTX 1060 6GB, and 16GB RAM, at high settings, at 40-60 frames per second, at 1920x1080 resolution. There were a few frame drops here and there, mostly in larger encounters, but nothing that would negatively hinder the experience.
