Crysis 3

Crysis 3 is a 2013 first-person shooter video game developed by Crytek and published by Electronic Arts. It is the third installment in the Crysis series, and a sequel to the 2011 video game Crysis 2. The multiplayer portion of the game was developed by Crytek UK.

Gameplay revolves around the use of the Nanosuit, which grants players a variety of abilities such as invisibility.

The game introduces the "Seven Wonders", with each wonder having its own unique landscape and tactical layout.
