The third part of the first-person shooter series, created and developed by Crytek studio and powered by their in-house technology - CryEngine. The story has been set in 2047, 24 years after the events of Crysis 2. Players take the role of James “Alcatraz” Rodriguez, the soldier of a Force Recon unit, who, in his futuristic Crynet Nanosuit 2.0, faces off against alien race Ceph and the Cell Corporation.
Crysis 3 for PC, X360 and PS3 is the third installment of a futuristic shooter in which the player wears technologically advanced nanosuit. The game has been developed by German studio Crytek famous for its excellent graphics engine, CryEngine.
Story
This epart takes the player to the year 2047. The main protagonist is Prophet, an owner of a nanosuit, who fights against an alien race called Ceph and the Cell corporation. A giant dome appears in New York because of the company. Inside there is a diverse microcosm, called Seven Wonders. Prophet decides to infiltrate this place to learn the truth about Cell’s plans and take revenge for earlier events.
Gameplay and Game modes
Crytek decided to prepare more diverse locations compared to previous installments. This time the players visit the aforementioned dome that includes seven different types of terrain – from dense forests of overgrown trees to swamps to the fast-flowing rivers. Such diversity enables to demonstrate the power of CryEngine 3 generating truly impressive images.
Crysis 3 for PC, X360 and PS3 is still a pseudo-sandbox shooter with the advanced weapons being its core feature. A bow is a new toy handed over to the players. However, the game offers i.e. rapid-fire machine gun called Typhoon and plasma canon called Heavy Mortar. The developers also improved the nanosuit, i.e. an armor that guarantees extraordinary strength, durability and camouflage – it enables hacking selected elements of the environment and use them against the enemy. All these gadgets and options can be used in both solo campaign and expanded multiplayer mode.

The main pros of the game
- Visuals and Graphics: The game is praised for its stunning graphics and visual fidelity, often considered a benchmark for graphical quality at the time of its release.
- Gameplay Mechanics: The use of the nanosuit allows for varied gameplay styles, enabling players to choose between stealth and aggressive combat. The introduction of new weapons, including a versatile bow, adds depth to combat strategies.
- Sound Design: Users appreciate the music, sound effects, and voice acting, which contribute to an immersive gaming experience.
- Story Continuation: The game continues the narrative of the previous entries in a respectable manner, adding to the lore of the Crysis universe.
The main cons of the game
- Short Length: Many reviews mention the game is relatively short, with campaign completion times around 5 to 8 hours, making it feel less substantial compared to its predecessors.
- Difficulty Balancing: Players express frustration with the difficulty settings, particularly noting that enemies have unfair visibility even on lower difficulty levels, which detracts from the stealth gameplay experience.
- Technical Issues: Some users report performance issues on modern hardware, suggesting that the game may not be well-optimized for current systems.
The features or elements that are missing from the game according to users
- Arrow Capacity: Players desire the ability to carry more arrows as part of their nanosuit upgrades, as well as a fix for arrows that seem to disappear during gameplay.
- Engagement with Weapons: There is a sentiment that the game does not allow enough time to experiment with the gun selection, as much time is spent in the visor interface.
- Pause Functionality in Cutscenes: Users find it annoying that cutscenes cannot be paused, which can interrupt gameplay flow, especially during moments when players need to step away.
Summary
- Overall, while Crysis 3 is appreciated for its graphics, gameplay mechanics, and story, it faces criticism for its short length, balancing issues, and some technical shortcomings.
