''The gameplay is very good, as in the previous sections. The game has a lot of weapons: sniper rifle, bow, etc.. The graphics are very nice, the Cry Engine 3 graphics engine, as well as in the previous section. There's armor in the game mode.''

Ign: 85/100

''It’s not quite a next generation experience come early, but it’s a superbly controlled, tightly paced and tactically flexible shooter with a satisfyingly focussed story, and an excellent way to tie up the Crysis series... for now''

Gamespot: 75/100

Its attractive visuals make Crysis 3 a pleasure to look at, and the game is plenty of fun, though not up to the high standards of its forebears.

Edge: 60/100

''Self-sabotaging feature-creep means that in addition to the Nanosuit’s cloak, Armour mode and various athletic tricks, Crysis 3 reintroduces alien weaponry, gives Prophet the ability to hack and subvert turrets, and hands him the Predator bow. There’s a game in that bow, with its satisfying thwack and various ammo types, but that game isn’t Crysis 3, which renders its signature tool irrelevant by not once contriving a scenario or enemy type in need of some Robin Hood-style perforation. This problem surfaces repeatedly across the breadth of Prophet’s skillset, stuffed as it is with options that aren’t exactly useless, but that lack purpose.''

Gametrailers: 90/100

''Crysis 3, the endcap to the sci-fi shooter trilogy, recaptures the spirit of its source in an all-inclusive package wrought with the best elements from each game. And though it doesn’t necessarily exceed series expectations, it certainly doesn’t betray them, either. The only concession is the compact campaign, but it’s easy to overlook it in light of the game’s accomplishments overall. From its cerebral, open-ended gameplay and lavish visuals to its impressive scale and multiplayer execution, Crysis 3, in all of its careful engineering and design, is certifiably dressed to impress.''

Gamespy: 80/100

''The hunted becomes the hunter in the CryEngine-powered open-world shooter Crysis 3! Players take on the role of 'Prophet' as he returns to New York in the year in 2047, only to discover that the city has been encased in a Nanodome created by the corrupt Cell Corporation. The New York City Liberty Dome is a veritable urban rainforest teeming with overgrown trees, dense swamplands and raging rivers. Within the Liberty Dome, seven distinct and treacherous environments become known as the Seven Wonders. This dangerous new world demands advanced weapons and tactics. Prophet will utilize a lethal composite bow, an enhanced Nanosuit and devastating alien tech to become the deadliest hunter on the planet.''

Eurogamer: 70/100

''It wasn't a particularly happy narrative. Tailoring the tech for consoles as well as PCs meant compromise, and Crysis 2's compact urban spaces struggled to give you the same tactical freedom as the first game. Forget taking in a massive vista and formulating a strategy - how were you even meant to find your way out of this claustrophobic alleyway and towards the "action bubble" that lurked up ahead?''

Electronic Gaming Monthly: 90/100

''With a single-player campaign that brings the trilogy to a fulfilling close and best-in-class multiplayer, Crysis 3 manages to best its predecessors and deliver a genuinely impressive FPS experience.''

Gamekapocs: 85/100

''We love the trilogy composed consciously, as this can often remain in the final part of the punch line, which will be completed through the years rolled story. Crysis is out of 3 is missing, but it's not his scion.''

Computer And Video Games: 85/100

''While much of the attention so far has been focused on its visually impressive campaign, tomorrow console and PC players get to experience Crysis 3's multiplayer mode via the public beta. Ahead of the deploy, we visited EA to examine what Crytek's multiplayer offering brings to the arena.''
