In the end, it’s kind of telling that all the commentary around Crysis — and Crysis Remastered — focuses on the graphics. As shooters go, there are plenty of better options out there, regardless of what platform you’re playing it on. In terms of looks, though? On that front, this is still one heck of an achievement.
Crysis Remastered is Nintendo Switch's most realistic graphics game to date, as well as one of the best FPS games.
This Switch version was my first time playing Crysis. I think as a piece of gaming history, and it’s interesting to see what the standards for visuals and design were back in 2007. That said, it feels dated and the campaign struggled to keep my attention due to the weak storytelling, problematic controls and drawn-out firefights. Still, for those who are interested in visiting (or revisiting) this landmark title, this Switch port might be their best bet.

Crysis Remastered è un gioco fantastico. Gli sviluppatori hanno modernizzato il titolo del 2007 con una grafica attuale e meccaniche ottimizzate. Su Nintendo Switch gira benissimo senza cali di frame rate, a parte quando si lanciano le granate a frammentazione. La storia è avvincente e la ricostruzione dell'isola è fenomenale. Visivamente su Switch fa un'ottima figura, soprattutto in modalità portatile. Super consigliato!

For a supposedly legendary shooter I did not get the appeal. Feels like call of duty with aliens.

Crysis Remastered on the Nintendo Switch would have sounded nearly unthinkable a few years ago, but here we are. Even though it's been thirteen years since the original release, the game still looks slick, marvelous and vivid. With its vast world, sharp gameplay mechanics and a very good performance both on a television screen and on the Nintendo Switch screen, Crysis Remastered is one of the finest FPS experiences in the console's catalogue.

Crysis Remastered is an impressive showcase for the Nintendo Switch’s true capabilities when ports are given the love and attention they deserve. Graphical downgrade aside, this title plays, looks, and feels great. Besides some aging mechanics and a so-so story, the gameplay loop of fighting through strategic engagement to engagement is addictive and invigorating, even if that means you’ll have a better time ignoring the objectives to get to the next fight quicker.

Runs perfectly on Switch 2, still one of the best tactical shooters with brilliant AI

Never thought I say this but this game looks and play fantastic on Switch even by today's standard. Though the quality is last gen PS3/Xbox 360 standard, the game is still very fun to play and ran very smoothly. I was able to finish the first 5 missions without issue. After trying the digital version I manage to get a physical copy for preservation. It's just that good.

Crysis Remastered might be great on other platforms but definitely doesn't stand out on Nintendo Switch.

Worth Playing
As a sum of its parts, Crysis on the Switch is another "miracle" port that turned out less magical than others of its kind. It's a less extreme example of the dissonance between being able to run a game and whether it should have been ported in the first place. It's not as pared back as The Outer Worlds was, but it also doesn't offer a lot of content, and its shortcomings in different areas are enough to hamper the experience. If you cannot play Crysis on any other platform, this may be as good as it's going to get, but if you don't care about portable play, the Switch version isn't as good of a proposition as it should have been.

Crysis Remastered is not the best way to play Crysis, but it isn’t a terrible port. Still, calling the Switch version a “remaster” is a bit of a stretch. You’ll have to look past the dated visuals of the experience and maybe a few technical bugs, but if you’re looking to play Crysis on the go you’re covered. However, if you can wait, it might be better to wait for a more powerful console release (or just play it on PC).

Crysis Remastered is an excellent port of a legendary video game. Some of the mechanics feel dated and a little odd sometimes, but the remaster remains true to what the original game was all about, which feels like a more important goal given the game's age and this being far away from a full on remake. Crysis is still visually stunning and sets a standard for what Nintendo Switch games can look like. Crysis Remastered is a must-play for fans of the series, which hasn't seen a new entry in quite some time.

Crysis Remastered can be a good-looking FPS. It’s just a shame that the act of actually playing it can feel like a chore thanks to a repetitive first half, poorly implemented stealth and unsatisfying gunplay.

Really good FPS. The port is excellent, great graphics for the Switch (dock and handheld). Dumb story (who cares ?) but very intense and engaging game ! I don't understand the bad reviews.
