"Crysis Warhead" might not be as cool as the original trilogy, but it's a great follow-up to Psycho's story. I really don't know why Crytek didn't remaster this one alongside the trilogy... but graphics and gameplay still hold up pretty well!

More Crysis action - sick. Honestly don't find it looking too much worse than the remaster, but really lagged in the finale scene. Some of the older games don't benefit from modern multicore GPUs, IDK. Played on Linux no prob

Crysis Warhead is a standalone expansion for Crysis and [url=https://steamcommunity.com/id/ZechsX18999/recommended/17300/]I highly recommended Crysis. Crysis Warhead plays similar to Crysis, but its story is less interesting and only half as long.

2 minute TLDR: Warhead is a story spin-off focusing on Sykes instead of Nomad, so you are following along with the main Crysis story. Best to play through the vanilla campaign first to get the most out of the story elements dropped here. A couple of new guns too from memory, basically more of the same - worth going through if you haven't tried it before.

Before DLC plague our games, this is how an expansion was meant to be. As always Crysis Warhead was epic, brutal and interesting.
