I had a lot of fun with Far Cry
but Crysis has some of the best gameplay to ever exist in a shooter, imo. The suit gives you a set of tools that make you far from invincible, but allows you to play the game in any style you like.
There is somethng epic about starting a level on a road, turning on strength mode and jumping up 20 feet to a cliff-top forest, stalking your way through the forest from bush to tree to bush with stealth mode, and encountering a 5-man patrol.
You turn speed mode on, zoom in and snatch the lagging patrol member, then zoom back into forest and knock him out cold. You hear the rest of the squad "gasp!" and then curse and yell in Korean as they split up.
Big mistake. You then turn on stealth mode and, one by one, take out the rest of the patrol using a combination of close-combat and silenced pistol tactics. When the cost is clear, you whip out your binoculars and scout, spotting a radar installation at the top of a hill.
Time to take it out!
This is just one of hundreds, maybe thousands, of encounters in the game.
Far Cry had this to an extent given its decent stealth mechanics, brutal enemy AI, and wonderful environments,but Crysis takes it to the next level
