A soldier in a high-tech Nanosuit fights North Korean troops and something stranger on a tropical island. It looked so far ahead of its time that 'But can it run Crysis?' became a running joke about PC power.
Kit's verdict · 8.4/10
A stunning sandbox shooter for its first half, then a more ordinary one after.Kit · Sadkitty Games
Loved
- Nanosuit powers make every fight flexible
- Open jungle levels you can tackle any way
- Groundbreaking visuals
Not so much
- The second half loses the open freedom
- Punishing hardware demands at launch
Play it if players who like choosing how to approach each firefight.
Skip it if anyone wanting a tight, story-heavy campaign.

Tips
Play it better

- Cloak drains energy faster when you move quickly. Walk while cloaked to stay hidden longer.
- Strength mode lets you jump onto rooftops and punch through wooden huts.
- Press C to customise weapons on the fly, adding scopes, silencers and flashlights.
- Grab enemies by the throat and throw them, or pick up objects and hurl them as weapons.
