This game could've been so good. It could've gave the player a feeling of being a predator in the city jungle. Hunting it's prey down with the help of an awesome power suit that allows the wearer to move around unseen or even go into open combat to prove who can outlast the other with the help of the suits maximum armour.

But no of course not. You feel more like a little ♥♥♥♥♥ who can't take much even in maximum armour. Or feeling like the invisible predator that hunts it's prey down? No. Your stealth is so short (even with the stealth and power upgrades) you'll stealth to kill one enemy then go behind a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ wall to wait for your suit to recharge and then do that over and over. But wait the stealth system is so ♥♥♥♥♥♥ sometimes you could be standing in front of the enemy pop in and out of cloak and they seem to ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ stare at you like don't exist.

What else is ♥♥♥♥♥♥ about the stealth? The silencers for the guns. Here's how the silencer works for this game. If you shoot an enemy in the head with a silenced weapon and they die? Good job the enemy will not notice that. But if you attempt to shoot but miss with a silenced weapon? SUDDENLY THE ENTIRE ENEMY FORCE KNOWS YOUR EXACT LOCATION AND FLOCK TO YOUR ASS AS IF A NEON SIGN WAS PLANTED ON TOP OF YOUR ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ HEAD. Small note about the AI for this game. I think they recycled similar coding from Crysis 1 for this game as well.

Another thing that is ♥♥♥♥♥♥ about this game is that the aliens a bunch of bullet/rocket/grenade/c4-sponge ♥♥♥♥♥ that soak up all your ammo. It ends up feeling like military in Crysis 2 give their soldiers ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ BB guns to fight the alien invasion. I had to use at least 5 ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ rockets to bring down the walker-type alien. Don't have rockets? Why don't you try walking up to it using your other explosives? Yeah you'll be ripped to shreds because your suit energy gets depleted by one of it's moves, basically rendering you dead.

Also talking about the suit. Can someone tell me why a futuristic suit designed to for any situation. Doesn't have simple functions like I don't know A FLASH LIGHT or SIMPLE NIGHT VISION. Yeah that vision used to see in the dark in the game? IT'S CALLED HEAT VISION. Why the ♥♥♥♥ am I using it to see in the dark? Also when you run it uses up the suits energy. Sure that would've been alright if my running speed wasn't so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ slow. I'm pretty sure the speed mode in Crysis 1 was at least 3 times faster than this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

Speaking of energy usage. Did you know if you throw a flat pc monitor with "full force" using ALL the suits energy. It is thrown literally 2 metres away. WHAT KIND OF SUIT IS THIS? It allows me to tote a mounted machine gun around using ZERO energy but if I am to throw a small monitor 2 metres away I use ALL of the suits energy. A lot of things in this game can completely 100 to 0 your suit energy really easily. Things such as taking 1 rocket to the face but here's the catch that 1 rocket basically cuts through all your suit energy AND 99% of your health too so if an enemy just farts in my general direction I die. What else? If you want to break down a metal door = 100% energy. Even though you can clearly just break metal door bar with ease in a cutscene in right at the beginning of the game. Why can't he just ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ do that to all the doors? Break door handle, open door simple ♥♥♥♥. Falling literally 8 metres with armour mode on = 100% energy. So you could imagine how long armour mode lasts in an actual fight.

When I bought the game and looked at reviews online I really had high hopes for this game. I really didn't think it had so many horrible design decisions. That really disappointed me. I really wanted to look past these points but they just broke my immersion and my mind. Like seriously I think I can throw a flat screen monitor further without the suit and the door thing? I think can get through those doors with less effort without the suit.

EDIT: Played for about an hour and the ai is still hilariously bad. Here's an easy way of fighting the human enemies. Stealth and crouch-walk around pop out of your cloak shoot a guy in the head and recloak again and the enemies around him won't start shooting the ♥♥♥♥ out area the bullet came from but they will slowly walk towards the area you're in "checking" for you. A DUDE JUST GOT HIS HEAD POPPED AND YOU'LL JUST WALK TOWARDS THE INVISIBLE THREAT?! While they're walking towards the place you just shot from just flank and do the same thing and they will start walking back. Repeat until all enemies are dead.

TL;DR Broke my immersion and expectations.
