Crysis 1 was more open than Far Cry 1 was. The problem with Crysis is that their best map ever was the opening map to the first game. That map gave you free reign of a huge island and you could go many different ways including swimming around the whole thing to the back side.

After that, the game provided glimpses of that but bottlenecked itself by deciding to go the urban New York setting which meant tons of artificial walls and barriers and crate and rubble syndrome that felt like you were getting cheated.
