Last week I wrote that itlooked like a Crysis 2 Remaster was on the way. I was wrong - it turns out aCrysis RemasteredTrilogyis coming, including both the second and third games. It’s due to arrive this autumn.

Crysis 2 and 3 also still look pretty good today, so a remastered release is even less necessary than for 2006’s Crysis 1. These remasters are nice, I’d say, if you’ve never played any Crysis before and want them on a new console, but of less note to us on PC where the trilogy canalready be bought from Steam.

I consequently found Crysis Remasteredunderwhelming when I played it last year. I loved the original Crysis, but I do not love paying a lot more to play a new version of it with graphical bells and whistles that make no difference. It remains the best game in the series - the chocolate in the Crysis Trilogy’s chocolate-vanilla-strawberry ice cream tub - but I’d still pick the original up in a sale rather than buy the remaster.
