In case you haven't played, you aren't missing anything if you want more story/lore. But if you enjoyed Crysis 1 for its gameplay and want more, then definitely check it out. I mistakenly thought that Crysis Warhead is a sequel to the first Crysis, turns out it isn't. It's not a prequel either as the timeline of the events is parallel with the first game. To sum up the story - you basically play as Psycho after the Raptor team was separated. If you played the original you'll see Psycho at the end who brags about bringing an alien to the ship. What happens in Warhead is that it shows the process of tracking and eventually capturing it. The whole campaign is basically you trying to prevent the Koreans from taking the alien with them. The ending is pretty cool but I would prefer if there was a boss fight against Lee. I mean that guy is the main reason we went through all that trouble. Instead we see Psycho give him a proper ass whooping in the ending cutscene. The gameplay is pretty much the same. Though the nanosuit's hud says " Sykes mod " there is nothing special about it, it functions the same as Nomad's nanosuit. There are however a couple of new weapons and vehicles to play with. Dual wielding submachine guns is pretty cool, not a huge fan of the grenade launcher though. I like how they kept the level design non-linear, meaning you can take different paths. You can in fact miss a lot of areas if you just choose the straightforward path. But I found out that playing on the highest difficulty kinda forced me to explore the map a little more, either to find cover or ammunition and I was surprised that I never saw those areas in my first playthrough. There are also some collectibles that unlock a funny ending. The graphics look great. You may notice a couple of outdated textures on some terrain, but the overall look still holds up. To my surprise it also looks and runs great on the Steam Deck too. Worked flawlessly without tinkering. Played it on " Gamer " ( or High ) settings.
It's like Crysis but actually good. Unlike the first one - every single level here has some interesting hook, and the game gets going and never stops. All they had to do was lose some fat and adopt an all-killer-no-filler approach without changing the fundamentals - and the game becomes infinitely more fun to play, who would've thought.
Crysis Warhead, although it doesn't significantly alter the formula, is a solid expansion to 2007's Crysis. With less focus on the aliens, new vehicles, better balancing, and faster-paced combat, Crysis Warhead addresses some of the largest issues present in the base game. However, even though Crysis Warhead does many things right, the story, like the base game, still isn't very good. While the story in Warhead is slightly better than the base game’s in some regards, overall, I still found it to be incredibly uninteresting and generic. Outside of the story, Crysis Warhead is also quite short; it took me around three hours to finish. Yet, even though Crysis Warhead is far from perfect, it's still a solid expansion that fixes many of the issues present in the base game. For those who enjoyed Crysis, I’d recommend trying Crysis Warhead.
