Story and characters

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
The graphics menu has interesting options available, you are basically having to pick the style of gamer you are; you get pigeon holed into categories such as "gamer" or "enthusiast" for example - to me this really doesn't look good.

Performance
Players who bring up Performance mostly praise it.
Crysis Warhead worked fine for me, I have a GTX 1650 super and a R5 3600 and was able to run the game at max with only one stutter below 30 FPS while averaging over 100.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
Warhead has some well recorded voice acting, all be it a very generic English accent on the main character, but all of the other dialogue and sound effects are all very good.
