This remaster isn’t a good indicator of that legacy. The visual presentation set the standard for years, and that’s worth something. The bigger question is: is this always how the game looked? It’s hard to argue that Crysis was anything other than ahead of its time. And things look even worse during the cutscenes. Face textures look awful and the lip-sync is brutal. Everything is murky and muddled, with character models being particularly suspect. Honestly, the bigger problem is that none of the textures look good. The game looked more or less the same, minus some admittedly pretty lighting effects. The performance mode was a lot more stable, with no flickering and a reasonably stable framerate. Both are definitely not functioning as intended. All these did was add a nauseating texture flicker to almost every surface imaginable, and we had to turn it off after a few minutes.

There are visual modes that prioritize ray tracing and image quality, but we recommend steering clear of both. Memes aside, the PS4 can mostly handle Crysis.

For example, 13 years ago, Crysis was a pretty good game. The industry has changed rather a lot in that time. But what’s easy to forget is Crytek’s PC shattering behemoth of a technical marvel released 13 years ago.
