What brings it close to Crysis is strong narrative focus, open world exploration and melee combat, and the two track each other on genre, game mode and world. Both also lean on a sci-fi setting and single-player focus. The distance is in tone and setting — its own ground is dark, oppressive atmosphere and historical setting.
