    First the game is very buggy it crashes randomly making you have to repeat entire missions and worse often loading the saves or even reloading checkpoints it will crash leaving you to figure out how to even get the game started.

    second and most frustratingly the game has no replay ability, once you complete a mission it's gone for good which is made all the more irksome because of the poor game design.

    For example, one mission with a Target objective I accidentally sniped from far away just trying to get a long shot... the mission instantly ended with red x of no other objectives completed. I didn't even realize it was the target but City Interactive decided to not only overwrite your save immediately with no warning, they also give you no other save slots and you can not replay the mission, or CHOOSE to save or not save yourself... this is frustrating especially when they know you haven't completed all or even any other objectives which you will NEVER be about to do on this playthrough once it auto saves... terrible terrible game design.

    Finally there are many minor annoyances NPC may fail to path or ignore lures thankfully this is seldom, swapped/dropped items may disappear into the ground never to be seen again, and while there is driving in this game, ALL vehicles are decorative and locked... while I understand making many drivable vehicles would be a big task... they simply could have put the ONE truck they give you on the different lots randomly with a color swap... I don't care, I'd just like to jump in a vehicle and go.

    Overall you can have some fun with this game if you get it for cheap with a deep discount, other than that it's been a frustrating experience.    … Expand

The latest iteration in the series is for my money actually less enjoyable than the second game. Perhaps the biggest shortcoming is the weird game physics. Things just don't work as you would expect them to do. Climbing and jumping sequences are irritating, counter intuitive and badly managed not to mention boring. Weapons handling is erratic and inconsistent. The open world model often leave you wasting time unnecessarily wandering from place to place which is far from exciting.

    On the upside sniping sequences can be enjoyable and the kill shots are fun.

    That said there are other games who do this too and are more polished affairs. The enjoyable moments in this game are hamstrung by its not inconspicuous shortcomings leaving a title I'd be inclined to pass over in favour of other games in a similar vein.    … Expand

    That's not how you make games, CI Games. That's not how you make the marketing. Stop being a fake company. I will be completely honest - this negative rating is a counter-attack to the fake reviews made by the developer. The game is probably 4/10, maybe 5/10 but what the studio behind the game is doing right now is absolutely 1/10. Shame.

Only good thing about game has is sniping gameplay is good rest of everything else were bad which is why I gave it 1 out of 10. I just enjoy plays this game just to get achievements on Xbox One for 1000G then forget this game forever. City will not have my support for DLCs just for full 1000G is all I care about this bad game.

    City need to drop this Franchise in future and bringing better AAA games. They failed once again with this Franchise, Also SWG 3 is bit of Far Cry rip-off but way way worse than any games this generation.

    I don't usuals complaints but from look at this game is big messy just like Assassin's Creed: Unity and Homefront: The Revolution all over again as well all series of SWG too. :) :)    … Expand

    A buggy mess of a game. No idea where the 10/10 reviews come from other than the developers themselves. You are much better off playing Sniper Elite 4, it's still not a 10/10 but it's at least a functioning game. This is barely ready for Steam Early Access.

    They say 3rd times the charm. Well not in this case. This whole game is a complete mess. It saddens me because I was really looking forward to this game but after playing it I'm so glad I chose not to purchase it. There are just way too many issues with this game. The AI is inconsistent, loading times are terribly long (can take up to 5 minutes or more to load into the game) low textures and texture pop in all through out the game, bland graphics (the first two look way better) bad draw distance, empty world, laughably bad crafting and looting elements, terrible parkour even the gunplay can be a chore. it's just a complete mess of a game. It feels like it should've been an early access title. It kind of reminds me of homefront the revolution. That game was near broken and terrible buggy at launch but later it got fixed up where it actually became fun and playable. I hope sniper ends up getting fixed up but even then it still would be a pretty mediocre game. Right now it's just a bad disappointing game. I can't recommend going to buy it especially not at $60. I can't really recommend it at all. Maybe if the developers work on fixing it's issues It could become better. Right now though it's just a bad game. 2/10    … Expand

This game basically sucks. It is a cheap knockoff of Metal Gear Solid. If you have played MGS, you will know exactly what I am talking about. The first problem that I have, and this stems from being in the military, is that if you have a weapon, such as a sniper rifle that can shoot from over 800 yards away, there isn't a chance in hell to figure out where the target is at. if the shooter is in cover or is in the prone position you will never see him. Secondly, shooting the same weapon with a silencer on it.....i don't care HOW MANY shots you shoot, there is NO WAY that you would be able to figure out where the person is shooting from.

    Then there is the long load times as mentioned before. Also the collecting of resources. This game does have the potential to be an excellent game. But people need to think before throwing something out on the market.    … Expand

    Badly executed, boring as hell. Get Sniper Elite instead.

    Good bits: 1. The actual sniping is good, if a little easy. It's not as good as Sniper Elite in this regard, but it's still pretty good. 2. The cutscenes are skippable. This is good because they're terrible. 3. There are no other good points about this game. Bad bits: 1. The story is bland and dull. It's clearly aimed at    Badly executed, boring as hell.

    1. The actual sniping is good, if a little easy. It's not as good as Sniper Elite in this regard, but it's still pretty good.
    2. The cutscenes are skippable. This is good because they're terrible.
    3. There are no other good points about this game.

    Bad bits:
    1. The story is bland and dull. It's clearly aimed at 12 year old boys (lots of sexy female characters and cleavage shots) but every cut scene is just bleh. There's an ex girlfriend who was treated badly but falls into bed with you at the first apology. (Don't get too excited, it fades to black)
    2. Driving is AWFUL. I mean, utterly pointless. What's more there's no traffic at all - other than the occasional helicopter. This kills realism. The mechanics are dull, boring and just, well, did I mention boring?
    3. Most of the character models are the same. In one of the locations it was filled entirely with the same eastern-european bearded chap. I killed the same man 12 times. I bet he was pretty fed up with it at the end. The other models are all very similar too.
    4. Winery mission. Firstly, you have a winery high up in snowy mountains. Has anyone read about grapes and where they grow?! It ain't in the alps, kiddos. At the winery there are lots and lots of braziers glowing away in the middle of the fields. (Aha! I bet that's how they keep the grapes warm, eh?) And in the Winery itself, there's a woman model in a tight red dress wandering around outside without any context at all. You can't interact with her, there's no reason for her to be there. There's just this woman dressed for a high-end party somewhere tropical wandering around in the dark in a snowy mountain range.
    5. Later in the winery mission, you stash you weapons and as soon as you do this, MASSIVE headbob for no reason. I could take no more than five minutes of this before nausea came knocking and I had to stop, which was a relief, because the whole game was becoming annoying.
    6. The open world is boring. The same models are used over and over (random towers, for example). There's no reason for them to be there so why are they there? I found no interesting little corners that were a pleasant surprise (the sort of thing Farcry is full of), and even the points of interest are depressingly pointless. Points of uninsterest, really. "Oh wow, you freed some prisoners. Where did they go? What was the point of that?"
    7. I've yet to figure out the point of fast travel points. You get them when you encounter a signpost, unlocking that as a fast travel location, but you also get points. Why?
    8. The starting rifle is good enough for everything. Okay, you might want to upgrade the capacity, but that's about it. That and the pistol will take care of everything. The whole weapons-tier thing seems a waste of time when I can one-shot everything. (Okay, not playing at hard level, but there should still be a reason to upgrade)
    9. I can't run it fullscreen - it just crashes every time. (Very new Ryzon and Radeon, drivers up to date etc). You can play it windowed, but every now and then (usually when you're about to take an important shot) the window switches out of focus.

    In short, this is a lazy game. No attention to detail. Immersion is almost missing entirely (Apart from when you're zoomed in on the enemy, that bit's okay). Don't waste your time or money.    … Expand

I'll give you a couple of examples of how buggy this game is.. I can't platinum the game because one of the most wanted targets is glitched out with the current patch. And also if I hadn't saved my save file to the cloud, I would've lost all progress when I was at 70% game completion because for some weird reason I fired the game up and it only gave me the option to "Start New Game." This game is a mess and as someone who was hyped for this game, I'm sooo damn disappointed.. I didn't expect greatness, but at least release a game that runs well and is playable. Definitely wait for a ton of updates and a price drop before buying this game, or don't buy it at all.… Expand

I do not know which mission I came to, but unfortunately after 50 attempts I find that you can not go because it always hangs in the game.

    Especially for this game I changed the disk (I thought something was wrong with it and that's why it hangs and works so slowly) first on 2TB 7200rpm HDD - I thought it would be a little faster then on SSD but it is practically no difference.

    Despite still being mired with an unhealthy assortment of technical hiccups and a paper thin narrative that feels like a rejected Call of Duty plot line, there is still fun to be mined out of Sniper: Ghost Warrior 3 but it's entirely dependent on an individual's tolerance of the occasional glitch. Sure, it could have done with a lot more time in the oven, and even after a number of sizeable patches its litany of issues still make it a fairly tough recommendation, so it would be remiss not to slap a 'Buyer Beware' sticker on it. At its core, the sniping itself can be pretty satisfying, and Georgia makes for an interesting, if sparse, playground but, ultimately, this isn't really enough to carry the game over the constant threat of unexpected setbacks and, as such, it's unlikely to win over non-fans of the series when there are much slicker alternatives available.

    While Sniper Ghost Warrior 3 may be the ultimate modern sniping experience, it also offers a clear sign that sniping games may soon go the way of flight simulators, in that it’s only possible to make engaging ones set before technology makes the human factor obsolete. One unlockable in the arsenal are ‘DARPA bullets’, which are prototype in-flight auto-correcting projectiles — and yes, they’re real. Simply point a laser at a target and the bullet strikes it dead-on, every time. The player isn’t forced to use these bullets, of course, but as technology barrels forward, the concept of a man in a ghillie suit crawling through brush with a rifle strapped to his back is going to feel anachronistic, and will likely survive only as nostalgic looks back at the history of violence.
