PayPalAfter being Epic Store exclusive since last year, Crysis 2 & 3 Remastered are finally available on Steam and they run rather nicely on Steam Deck. Now the full trilogy is finally on Steam.
I remember playing through the original Crysis on Windows at release back in 2007, and my PC at the time could only just about run it. To see all three working so well, in their updated form, on a Steam Deck that runs SteamOS (Linux) is quite incredible really. Technology really has moved on and times like this make me really see it. Honestly, I've been massively impressed with how both look and run on the Steam Deck with pretty reasonable settings on both too:
Here's plenty of gameplay of both, with timestamps in the video between the two games so you can get a good look at how they run.
Direct Link
If you're after a good shooter series, overall it's one not to be missed. Although, plenty of people feel that the original Crysis is better than then Remastered version, but 2 and 3 are much improved in the Remastered versions.

I've played through the first remastered and it mostly ran nicely. Honestly, the claim that it is a downgrade is debatable, and if you've never played it you won't even notice. It is a must play.

Quoting: BotonoskiI wonder if the Deck will influence companies to put their games on Steam that they would've otherwise kept exclusive on some other store. The Deck appeal to PC gamers and console users alike, and the more console oriented users aren't going to go through the headaches of setting up other store fronts to function on their Deck, their just going to stick with what's on Steam.Potentially, although I would have thought it would take a while more of brisk sales before that starts being very much of a thing.
Quoting: GuestQuoting: Botonoskiusers aren't going to go through the headaches of setting up other store fronts to function on their DeckDeck is not locked behind Steam. Companies can port their laungers and games to Linux and keep all the money without giving 30% cut to Steam, if they wish to.
... But he doesn't claim so? He say most wouldn't bother to do so. And I don't think they will, either.
