Download Crysis 3 The Lost Island for Free

If you've spent a lot of time with the original Crysis, you'll feel comforting bouts of nostalgia and familiarity as you explore the four new maps in The Lost Island expansion pack for Crysis 3. Crossing, Coastline, Creek, and Ascent are just a few of the breathtaking environments that showcase the iconic scenery the Crysis series has become known for.

The Lost Island is essentially an excuse to revisit some of the most memorable settings from the original game, meshed with the gameplay of Crysis 3 and brought to life with the powerful CryENGINE 3. If you choose to make the investment, here's what you can expect: a nostalgic trip back in time, replete with familiar landscapes and gameplay mechanics.

As I delved into The Lost Island, I couldn't help but wonder how EA or Crytek ever thought it would be a good idea to charge gamers for DLC, further fragmenting an already small community. It's a sentiment echoed by many fans of the series, who feel that the base game itself is lacking in terms of multiplayer content.

In fact, The Lost Island is one of the only playlists that will ever fill up enough to provide decent matches. But let's be honest – it's not exactly bursting at the seams with players. To be 100% honest, I'm surprised I was even able to review Crysis 3's first piece of downloadable multiplayer content in the first place, considering how hard it is to find others willing to play with me.

Crysis 3's community is small – so small that the only viable game type in the base game is really Team Deathmatch. It's a shame, because The Lost Island shows promise as an add-on, offering a taste of what could have been if the series had maintained a more robust multiplayer presence. As it stands, however, The Lost Island is a decent but ultimately forgettable expansion that fails to make a significant impact on the Crysis 3 experience.

Still, if you're a fan of the series and are looking for a nostalgic fix, The Lost Island might be worth your while. Just don't expect it to revolutionize the multiplayer landscape or bring new life to the franchise.
