All of this results in the game being set in New York City (again - Crysis 2 was set there as well), however with a big twist.  Because of the 'Liberty Dome' created by Cell, New York City is now essentially a massively over sized greenhouse.  This makes for quite a unique environment. The city is overgrown, run down, and inhabited by animals, however not quite an unrecognizable jungle yet.

 The gameplay is fluid, and with the nanosuit making a return, it's very versatile. The suit has several functions ~ two of which are constantly active, and two which are optional. Constantly active suit functions are super-strength and super-speed, and optional functions are going invisible and using shield mode. The nanosuit also includes a Nanovision function which is pretty much a thermal mode for the visor. The nanosuit itself is also able to be upgraded, and you can increase the effectiveness of certain actions by doing so. The level and map design fits the nanosuit really well, and makes for a fluid and streamlined experience. The four different difficulty levels will appeal to a very large skill demographic, and whichever difficulty you play on, you can always approach situations the way you want to and finish each level in your own way.  Enemies will chatter in the background as you fight them, and the A.I. is very impressive overall, as in the previous installments of the Crysis series.

There is a fairly large arsenal of weapons in the game, and almost all weapons can be upgraded with extra parts found off other weapons, such as grenade launchers, scopes, and grips. One very particular weapon makes it's way into the game, a very special bow that is connected to the power of the nanosuit and has enough power to 'stop a rhino dead'. It has several different arrow tips and modes which make it a very deadly and versatile weapon indeed. All the weapons are fun to use and it's very good to be able to upgrade them.

 Crysis 3 has a lot of bad words, however I didn't notice profanity as much as I thought I would. The violence in this game is only mild, and never does it reach a point where I would say it's particularly 'gory'. Your enemies consist of Cell and the Ceph, and neither have much gore that can be inflicted on them. Cell will receive bullet wounds and you can see blood, but there is no dismemberment or that kind of thing going on. Ceph, being aliens, will only spurt out jelly-like flesh. The most gore you will see are a few rare parts where you will see nanosuit users that have been dissected as Cell has tried to remove their nanosuits.

 The multiplayer component to the game is well made, but it has an almost completely dead player base in most areas of the world and is almost completely unplayable because of it. When you do find a match, it's really fun, and you can upgrade your weapons and unlock new ones. It features weapons and attachments that are found in the campaign, however you unlock them differently.

 Overall, the game is streamlined, fun, versatile, and immersive. You will most likely find yourself playing certain levels - if not the entire game - several times over just so you can play them a different way.
