The idea of an online conspiracy theorist having all the answers rather than being a root cause of the world’s problems feels somewhat antiquated, while any game that involves viruses is likely to cause some discomfort smack in the middle of a Pandemic.

In some ways, Crysis 2 is a weird game to play on the far side of the 2010s. Before he dies, Prophet leaves Alcatraz with a mission, find and protect a former crynet employee turned conspiracy theorist named Doctor Nathan Gould. Then Prophet shoots himself, having contracted a deadly virus that the Ceph brought with them as part of their invasion plan. The nanosuited squad leader from the original Crysis rescues Alcatraz from a watery grave and dresses him in his own Nanosuit. Yet Alcatraz’ death is postponed by the intervention of Prophet. Many of the Marines onboard are killed, while Alcatraz himself is grievously wounded. Before you arrive at your destination, however, the sub is attacked. You play as Alcatraz, a stupidly nicknamed Marine in a submarine full of stupidly nicknamed Marines, en-route to New York after it has been attacked by the alien menace known as the Ceph. It also has some fantastic action sequences, despite a frustrating dilution in the player’s abilities compared to the original.Īdmittedly, Crysis 2 gets off to a stumbling start, with a knotty introduction that lacks the elegant simplicity of the first game’s parachute jump. Its sci-fi story offers an intriguing commentary on the nature of FPS protagonists, while its depiction of New York under alien siege is remarkable even today. Yet I’ve always believed that Crysis 2 compensates for these perceived shortcomings in other areas. Designed to be a multiplatform launch, Crysis 2 is a far more linear experience than its predecessor, while its own technological achievements were dedicated more to performance and optimisation than further increasing graphical fortitude. The sequel removed the two key selling points of the first game. Ironically, Crysis’ technical demands are largely why Crysis 2’s reputation suffered.

Sure, it was meme-inducingly demanding on hardware of the time, but it was also more than just a technological monster. The original Crysis was in many ways a prototype for the open world games we enjoy today, demonstrating that games didn’t need to be RPGs to take advantage of explorable terrain. I’ve always thought both these representations to be unfair. Crysis 2 is generally regarded as the disappointing follow up to Crysis, itself primarily remembered for melting every gaming PC built in the year 2007, over and above any of its qualities as a game.
