Multiplayer it is.Ĭrossing takes you back in time to your very first encounter with enemy nanosuit-wearing soldiers in the dark swamps of the Lingshan Islands of the first Crysis game.Ĭrossing takes place in a dark, swampy wetlands while the contrasting Coastline boasts some of the most gorgeous, sunset-lit, tropical scenery I’ve ever seen in a multiplayer map. My biggest question is, if Crytek went this far to give a nod towards old-school Crysis players, why not take the approach of an old-school, open-world, sandbox-style gameplay and go the single player route? Who wouldn’t want to explore new areas of the Lingshan Islands as Prophet (or even Nomad, if he’s still alive) taking on the evolved Ceph baddies in a heavily modified Nanosuit? That is some Crysis 3 DLC I would gladly play $14.99 USD for. If you’ve spent a lot of time with the original Crysis, you’ll feel comforting bouts of nostalgia and familiarity. There is a lot of beauty to behold in the four new maps Crossing, Coastline, Creek and Ascent. The Lost Island is basically a good excuse to show off some of the most iconic scenery that the Crysis series has become known for meshed with the gameplay of Crysis 3 and brought to life with the powerful CryENGINE 3. Should you choose to make the investment, however, here’s what you’re in for. Therefore, I’ll be looking solely at this particular add-on and how it fares as a piece of DLC, not whether or not you should buy it or whether or not Crysis 3 is still relevant as an online multiplayer shooter. The issue lies not within this tropical throw-back expansion, but within the base game itself. Regardless, it’s out there, and it’s actually not that bad. It makes me wonder how EA or Crytek ever thought it would be a good idea to charge gamers for DLC, splitting the already miniscule community even further. It’s the only playlist that will ever fill up enough to be able to provide some decent matches.
To be 100% honest, I’m actually surprised I’m even able to review Crysis 3‘s first piece of downloadable multiplayer content in the first place, considering how hard it is to even find others who will play it with me.Ĭrysis 3’s community is small – so small, that in the base game, the only viable game type is really Team Deathmatch.
