Oh yea, Crysis was a technical masterpiece, there is pretty much no game in existence with it's reputation for graphical forward thinking excellence. Even today games lack some of it's features. Go shoot a tree in Far Cry 5, nothing happens. It will fall over in Crysis, leaves will react, and that's a decade old game now, alot of Gamespots user-base will have been 8 when it was released.

As much as downgrade as Crysis 2 was, you can't deny they done a superb job of optimizing it for limited hardware, while it lacks Crysis features, some areas (such as New York at night) still look stunning. Which itself is not a pretty old ass game.
I've yet to play Crysis 3, but from the videos and screenshots, it looks better than 1/2. Don't give a shit about Ryse.
Hipsters try to invert the reputation with "it's only a tech demo, bad game dur dur", when Crysis was released the same time as Modern Warfare, and if you actually go back and play them side back side, Crysis is pretty clearly a better game.
Crysis 2, which is shit compared to Crysis, still has more open ended, experimental gameplay with solid shooting and engaging, largely intelligent alien ai than it's peers at the time.
The only SP at the time that out-shun is was Halflife 2 and it's episodes in the Orange Box, but that's Halflife 2.
