So I recently completed Crysis 2 and I cannot believe how good of a game it is. I think I've had this on Steam for 10 years now; however my old potato PC could not run it well so I only played 50% of the game before I quit.
But I am glad I gave it another go. Crysis 2 is legitimately underrated. It also makes me miss games from this era - no B.S. filler involved, just an adrenaline rollercoaster experience.
- Awesome graphics
- Incredible soundtrack
- Good story with exciting twists and turns
- Solid campaign length (I was surprised it took me a full 11 hours to complete. I personally think 8-12 hours is an appropriate length for most titles anyway)
- RPG mechanics are 'light' (no forced leveling up, constantly grinding for unlocks, or artificial difficulty scaling)
- No side missions
- Good variety in locations
- Battles are intense in the second half of the game
The game starts off with open and sandbox like arenas but the pace subsequently kicks up and the campaign does become more linear, however you still have flexibility on how to approach the game. Nevertheless, there is absolutely nothing wrong with linear titles IMO. Some of the best games I have ever played are linear e.g. Resident Evil 4, MGS1/MGS2/MGS3, God Of War 2/3, Halo 3.
If you like FPS games, go play Crysis 2.
10/10 would play again
