As part of its 17th anniversary celebrations, GOG has welcomed four titles from the iconic Crysis franchise to its DRM-free platform. The original Crysis, along with the Crysis Remastered Trilogy that features enhanced editions of the franchise's main entries, is now available for gaming enthusiasts seeking a pristine experience free from digital rights management constraints.
Celebrating with DRM-Free Gaming
GOG’s unique DRM-free approach allows gamers to enjoy Crysis without the need for constant online verification. This release addresses the challenges faced by PC players who found it difficult to access the original Crysis on other platforms. By removing the hurdle of internet dependency, GOG has made these renowned titles more accessible than ever.
The inclusion of Crysis in GOG's ensemble is particularly significant as fans of the original game, which boasts a Metacritic score of 91, seek out easier paths to replay this classic without being bogged down by cumbersome online account requirements.
Exclusive Discounts and Content
GOG's offering does, however, come with a caveat. The platform only includes the remastered editions of Crysis 2 and Crysis 3, omitting their original versions. This decision might leave some nostalgic players yearning for the unaltered classic experiences, particularly those who previously needed an EA login to play Crysis 3. However, the remastered editions promise enhanced graphics and smoother gameplay, potentially offering a fresh perspective on these beloved entries.
For a limited time, GOG has slashed the prices of these immersive titles. Crysis can be acquired for approximately $5.38/£3.99, while the Crysis Remastered Trilogy is available for around $19.54/£14.49. The anniversary sale ends on October 7, giving players a limited window to take advantage of these enticing discounts.
As GOG celebrates a milestone in its history, the inclusion of Crysis in its catalog not only underscores its commitment to delivering quality gaming experiences but also reinforces its role as a champion of player-friendly, DRM-free gaming solutions.
