PC Game Review: Crysis 2

In this review, I will talk about Crysis 2, the sequel to Crysis on PC.

Crysis 2 is the sequel to the hugely popular Crysis game from Crytek. When Crytek first announced Crysis 2 for the PC and consoles, fan of the series were worried that it would not live up to their expectations. The reason for this was simple; Crysis was a game that pushed system hardware to the next level, something that normal next generation consoles still can’t handle. Crytek promised the fans that it would release the game with all its glory, and for consoles, the developer also promised that it would be one of the best looking game on the next gen machines. Thankfully, Crytek has fulfilled its promise. Read on the review to find out more.

To start my review, I will talk about the features of the game.

Crysis 2 will put you in the feet of a U.S marine who finds prophet, the protagonist from the first game. Prophet gives the marine nano suit powers. The nano suit provides incredible powers that boost your strength, speed, vision and gives you invisibility. The controls of the game have been improved here, now you can activate the suit powers with a press of a key, release it and the power is gone. You are tasked with to find out why the aliens have invaded our world.

Moving further down the review, the story contains a lot twists and turns and should be able to keep you interested in the game for quite long. Other than that, Crysis 2 also features a multiplayer mode where you can compete against other players from across the world. You suit powers are available in the multiplayer as well, making this quite a unique experience. As far as the graphics go, the game does not support direct x 11 on its release, but the developers have already released a patch that lets you experience the game in Direct X 11 on the PC.

To finish off my review, Crysis 2 redefines the first person shooter genre; fans of this genre should not miss this game.
