PayPalGOG have once again expanded their store with the release of the Crysis Remastered Trilogy, along with their promise of keeping the original Crysis working. Be sure to also check out the official GamingOnLinux Guide to get GOG games on Linux.
With this all three of the updated games are available on GOG either as a bundle or you can purchase them individually:
The original Crysis is the only one currently noted to be now in the GOG Preservation Program. And with that GOG promise to keep it running on modern systems along with providing technical support.
They also recently had the Tomb Raider Definitive Survivor Trilogy release along with multiple other expansions of the Preservation Program. Nice to see GOG get more games, great for competition between stores so we all benefit.

My last Crysis purchase was the original Crysis 2 on physical disc (which I still have) and that was around the time I started buying less and less physical games due to DRM.
This will be the first time I get to play Crysis 3.

I'm still mad at the remasters. They spoiled that truly iconic (not Ubisoft "iconic") sunrise moment. You come up over the crest and an enormous vista is presented to you with a majestic, jungle-covered mountain and the sun glittering through the palm tree. Except now the sun just hangs kinda lazily in the middle of the sky. I have no idea why they made that seemingly pointless change but it completely ruins the mood of it.

I own the first crysis on disc. Then I "own" the remasterd triology on steam. A bit tempted to get the drm free version on gog.
I really enjoyed the first two thirds of the first game. Have played through that part many times. But i stop when it's tine to enter the core and fight aliens. It's just not fun to fight aliens. Something crytec seemed hard to remember when developing crysis 2 and 3. Crossing my fingers we will eventually get an alien free crysis 4 some time in the future.

I played Crysis 2 back in the day and loved every single minute of it. I particularly enjoyed the stealth - the recharge on your suit and later upgrades meant that this was one of the first stealth games I'd experienced where there was hardly any waiting around for patrol movements to align (Dishonored was the next). Very refreshing. "Cloak engaged". Magical.
Then I played Crysis 1 and it wasn't anywhere near as good. Never played 3 - can't remember why, but I suspect it's because it was EA, and it came out in 2013, which was the year I burned by Windows partition and went full Linux. And the EA launcher was dogshit on Linux back then. I mean, it's a launcher, so it's still dogshit today no matter what O/S you're running, but it was particularly bad in 2013 when Steam was literally just out, and Proton wasn't a thing.
I almost never buy on GOG, but a tenner for Crysis 2 might be worthwhile.
(Edit: actually it's only £15 for all three in the bundle - an incredible deal considering Steam has the same bundle priced at a 45% discount... and it's still £41!!)
