![]() ![]() ![]() It’s a shame that Crytek and Saber Interactive took the easy and lazy route of just doing the bare minimum needed in order to even consider these remasters. In all honesty, for the price of Crysis Remastered Trilogy, I would’ve hoped that the games looked and played a lot better than they did. But that game already looked amazing back then so I had expected this one to blow me away as well, which it really didn’t. Comparing this version to the original, it’s evident that there’s an improvement. The third is hands-down the best looking but still doesn’t blow you away by its visuals. It’s probably the worst shooter I’ve played since the Xbox 360/PS3 generation. I can’t imagine how the devs tested this game and said to themselves “this seems like players would enjoy it”. It makes combat excruciating and downright insulting. To add insult to injury, frames will drop heavily as you try just to turn the camera left and right. The camera no matter how sensitive you make it is just a stiff mess. 2 is serviceable enough but I’d say that the first is near unplayable. The best experience is in the third title with each getting slowly worse as you make your way backward. Where the games show their age though is in the actual gunplay mechanics. This has been a staple of more shooters currently with titles like Far Cry 6 and Deathloop showing that ideas like that are still prevalent to this day. All of the games have pretty open levels or worlds that offer a nice bit of exploration. So, how well do they stack up against modern shooters? Well, it’s a heavily mixed bag for me. Aside from the abilities though, my favorite aspect of gameplay is the fact that gun attachments can be toggled on the fly.Īs I stated though, these games are first and foremost first-person shooters. Each has its definite useful touches that offer something worth using. The nano-suit upgrades are pretty interesting to dig into and don’t seem to run the course of being overexuberant at all. The latter two games in the series offer some pretty unique mechanics that helped evolve the FPS genre a bit with most being a normal thing we see in games today. ![]() I want to love you Xbox Game Pass, but sometimes you make it so hard.I’d only played the multiplayer portions of 2 and 3 in the past so getting my hands a bit more dirty in its gameplay and refreshing myself on it was one of the things I look forward to in replaying these games. Or in this case, a clunky claw machine that drops your prize into another clunky claw machine (EA Play) through which you can eventually get your goodies. The Xbox app feels like one of those arcade claw machines filled with really great goodies that you need to brute-force, kick, or attempt several times before getting your prize. Looking at that list, it’s tempting to chirpily conclude that ‘Xbox Game Pass for PC is just the gift that keeps on giving’ and wish everyone a Happy Cyber Monday, but it's yet another indicator of what a weird, unwieldy experience it is. This list might quietly grow too, so be sure to check into the EA Play app, then set the filter to only show EA Play membership games to see if any new surprises pop up. Having trawled through the EA Play catalogue, here are all the EA Play games not listed in the Xbox app that Game Pass subscribers can play: ![]()
