    Stay low and leave no traces in this third game of the tactical shooter franchise. Set in a modern day conflict based in Eastern Europe, players in Sniper: Ghost Warrior 3 will be thrust into the role of a sniper caught between three warring factions, played out in a realistic and immersive environment. Dig deep into the Ghost Warrior DNA as you choose between taking out your targets up close or from a distance, while at the same time focusing on your survival through evasion and stealth.

    A slick sniping title in name, but one that also encourages creativity, delivers action, and demands adaptation, Sniper: Ghost Warrior 3 is one hell of a ride. Although it has a lackluster story and a handful of minor issues, it’s still an immensely enjoyable separatist kill fest set in the gorgeous open-world landscapes of former Soviet Georgia.

    I really feel sorry for Ghost Warrior 3 - this is the first game in the series that had a potential to finally rival Sniper Elite. Unfortunately, things like weak stealth mechanics, awful story and pointless open world really let it down.

    I was certain I was in for another grueling and frustrating disappointment. I was wrong, incredibly so. Sniper Ghost Warrior 3 has clawed its way up from the grave of a series that shouldn't be, and has made itself a decent title. Maybe one that will finally turn things around in future installments.

    Sniper Ghost Warrior 3 can be an enjoyable FPS game, but unfortunately the very good shooting sensations are not enough to ignore all the flaws, AI problems and glitches of the game.

    Sniper: Ghost Warrior 3 attempts to push the franchise forward by introducing new mechanics and an open world, but the delivery falls flat. With an underwhelming story and plenty of bugs, the result is a game stuck in mediocrity.

    Sniper: Ghost Warrior 3 is a mix of disparate game genres that often do not make sense. Atmosphere and action gameplay are not bad, but instead of graceful ballistic dances, it rather shoots its own legs with technical issues, ugly graphics, poor optimization, and a miserable story, which results in a title that has nothing to offer.

I havan't noticed bugs and and lags. There is a lot of fun with play. Snier mode is more advanced then Snaiper Elite 4. Wepens are more realistic then Sniper Recon. CI Games could work on sound and music. There could be more game mode like multi or more maps but summary game is very good. I have no idea why game have a lot of negative revious. I feel strong 8/10 is good score.… Expand

I know the MSM didn't think much (they only seem to care about the big titles and no doubt the advertising budgets associated with them). I personally think this game has a lot to offer.

    For one thing its focus is, for the most part, on target (no pun intended). This game knows it a FPS military shooter and sensibly sticks to that formula. There's is a little parkour style mountain climbing which to be honest I could have done without but thankfully its no excessive or overdone as it is in games like Titanfall 2.

    The gun play in this game is enjoyable and you are given a variety of weapons ad upgrades to choose from, as the game unfolds. There is some hand holding in this game but thankfully it doesn't smother or confine your actions, as is the case with titles like the newer games in the Far Cry series.

    Cut scenes with bullet time are satisfying as you make a head shot from longer range and its nice to see physics modelling reflecting the respective damage done by lesser and more powerful sniper riles and munitions.

    An added bonus I had not expected was bonus episodes that you can play that let you take on the role of one of the snipers side kicks and his adversary. A generous move on the part of the games developers that offers additional play time.

    On the downside game play can be a little repetitive and I found the "US rules the world stick" a bit hard to stomach, at times. Vehicle handling is horrible with no upgrade options on offer leaving you driving a jeep that behaves like a bus, throughout the game. Why no access to other modes of transport like a helicopter or parachute missions? This would have added an extra dimension to this game.

    In summary, this is for the most part a decent game that puts a lot of bigger budget titles to shame. Its not perfect and there is room for improvement but what it does it does well and better still it leaves you in charge rather than dictating what is to be done and how you are to do it.

Graphics doesn't look that good either compared to games released around the same timeframe. But the funny thing is the cutscenes look ten times worse than game itself, which really makes me scratch my head why they went along with this. It's so bad it takes me out of the immersion.

    But I guess it doesn't matter when you're getting this game in its ridiculous 90% sales discount. For a game I got less than 2 dollars for the gunplay and sniping is great and the gameplay loop is actually enjoyable.    … Expand
