Play as Sergeant Michael “Psycho” Sykes on a mission behind enemy lines during the events of Crysis. When enemy forces capture important cargo, Sykes must track it down and retrieve it.
This first-person shooter combines direct firefights with stealth and nanosuit abilities. You can adapt your approach to encounters, moving between aggressive attacks and quieter infiltration.
The campaign features customizable weapons, vehicles, enemy forces and alien opponents, along with allied squad support. Crysis Warhead is a standalone game and does not require Crysis to play.
Players who enjoy Warhead often point to its brisk, action-heavy combat and the freedom to approach encounters with stealth or force. Reviews also praise Psycho as a more distinctive lead, the range of weapons and vehicles, and visuals that many feel have held up well. Some appreciate the focused campaign as a concentrated return to Crysis-style gameplay.
