Depending on how you like your rifle to feel, there are several variations in which to find a rifle that is suitable for your own playstyle. Each rifle looks and feels unique with beautiful accuracy in model design. Of course, sniping is the logical way to go about eliminating the enemies quickly and with several variations of sniper rifles to choose from, there’s definitely a lot of good equipment.
Taking place in a open-world, there are few limits on how to tackle each new objective. With dozens of weapons to choose from, unlock, and earn, Sniper Ghost Warrior 3 can be transformed into something other than a sniping simulator, namely an action game as well. "The developer claims that sniping in this game is more realistic than ever before, and with the adjustments that must be made to ensure accuracy - such as adjusting the scope elevation to adjust for wind and distance - I was forced to believe them." Each safe house has a Weapons Cache that allows you to purchase and unlock new weapons a Work Bench that allows you to build ammo, gadgets and more a Bed for sleeping, and a Laptop station that gives you all of your new missions and assignments. The land and atmosphere aren’t the worst I’ve seen, but it”s not by any means an eye catcher.Īll of the game’s activities are carried out from the safe house assigned within each location of the game. With textures looking no better than an Xbox 360/PS3 game, character models are an eye sore looking cooky and incomplete - and in most cases very generic. You’ll be quick to realize that Sniper Ghost Warrior 3 is far from anything that looks like a high-end current gen game. They’re bland fillers in a mostly lifeless open world. The villager wasn’t happy, but there was no repercussion for doing so. I even ran one over one during the heat of the battle. Their practically lifeless selves don’t interact much with Jon or take any interest in his presence as he stomps through villages with snipers and assault rifles in hand. Through much of the journey, Jon will travel to small villages, drive along winding roads, and see the people of this country live their every day lives as they normally would. Most of the time the story is forgettable and bland, but it has to be there or you’d just be going from mission to mission shooting people. As Jon traverses the rocky roads by foot or vehicles, he soon realizes there’s something more behind this growing war that could lead back to his past. Spread throughout four acts, you will move onto new lands with similar but different aesthetics as the game progresses. The atmosphere is daunting with rocky terrain, dense forests, and grey skies. With his Marine Captain’s training and sniping skills, Jon is dropped into the war-torn country of Georgia to help break up a new terror – a separatist movement that is quickly turning into a bloody civil war. You play as Jon North, a moderately cliched video game hero that will do whatever it takes to see the mission through.
Sniper Ghost Warrior 3‘s not a bad game by any stretch of the imagination but it felt constrained by what seems like an indie-sized budget and lazy development.
Its somewhat fuzzy mechanics, awkward controls, and all-too-easy level design make this quasi sniping simulator a game lost in the depths of the doldrums. S niper Ghost Warrior 3 from CI Games is an open world, stealth-driven, first-person shooter most of us would enjoy playing at a friend’s house in short bursts, but never lay down any money to actually purchase it.
