The first game is nothing but an all-out war breaking out between the Koreans and the Americans. The main character has the ability to be spotted by a little Korean man with a gun bought from a Cold War Surplus store from three miles away. Instead, the main mechanics of the game focus on your super-suit and the abilities it gives you such as super-strength, invincibility, armor, super-speed, and the last one that no one seems to be talking about. A series where you go about a tropical island and shoot guns that are uninteresting, but that’s enough about what you are supposed to be doing with Crysis. There are two things that Crysis is known for: Punching trees long enough means you can throw a whole tree at soldiers, and it was impossible to run on anything but a supercomputer back in 2007.Īnyway, 2020, they got that spot on, didn’t they? The first game came following the successful launch of a small series you might have heard of, Far Cry.
They created a series about secret super soldiers and one dim bloke controlled by me, punching walls with my newfound super strength. Yeah, it was as unbelievable then as it is now, but that never stopped Crytek back in 2007 when they released the first Crysis game. It was unusual to see a version of America that wasn’t an ungodly superpower. I don’t know why, I think it all started with Homefront because it was different. I like games where one of the main enemies are the North Koreans.
