    With SGW 3 is like with Alfa Romeo. Buggy as hell but still everyone wants it. It's really good game! Pitty that reviewers smash it just because of bugs. It's small develoeper after all! Give it a chance.

    I prefer to play interesting but buggy gameplay, rather than well polished boring, linear game.

    Very good game. Gameplay, history, world, level design, crafting, guns, shooting and amazing sounds of guns. What's bad? long loading screen when you run the game first time, some small bugs (unbreakable glass), graphics could be better (not bad but this is not horizon, BF1 or uncharted).
    I give this game strong 8/10, my score is 10/10 because many people give 4, 2 and 0 points (seek).

    I don't understand these 5 and below scores. I agree the game is not pretty(I am playing on a day one ps4 with original hdd) I liken it to the ps4 version of Skyrim, which if you can play that this game shouldn't be a problem. The sniping and open world setting are amazing for choices. I have yet to run into a crash or frame rate dip, so maybe I am lucky but none of the technical problemsI don't understand these 5 and below scores.

    I am happy with my purchase and would recommend the game. I sympathize with those experiencing problems, but the game works and thus should not be rated under a five.

    te huelen a kilómetros? nada q ver, la realidad es esa, basta de juegos q tienen un campo de visión, amo sniper elite, pero si te agachas de noche hay un campo en el cual si estas a calle abierta delante de uno no te ve
    no lo veo mal a este juego es como tiene q ser, si te escondes bien no te ven
    la mecánica del disparo es perfecta creo q mejor q elite, ya q es lo q siempre buscaba y por primera ves lo encuentro, medir viendo distancia y tirar sin guía de punto rojo para saber donde va el disparo y acertar de verdad por calibración propia.
    (en elite aun me falta probarlo bien sin guía, pero creo q es imposible acertar al blanco 100% por mas q tomes las medidas q tengas q tomas del tiro, es como aleatorio por momentos.
    en cuanto a warrior, creo q es un 7.5 como minimo para cualquier pagina, lo analizan personas q se sentaron como yo a probar lo fundamental (el rifle de un francotirador) o de q trata sino? eso esta mas q perfecto y luego súmale el entorno q no esta para nada mal, no son los gráficos de mgs pero son super dignos, la IA es quizá como miles de juegos q tienen puntajes mejores, puede q le falte mas desplazamiento pero cumple su función, q si hay pocos vehículos, q es esto? no todo es un gta, tienes un auto y listo te mueves con ese, en tu vida real no subes a 5 autos en un dia, detalles menores q no me opacan la experiencia. en fin el juego no es malo para nada. tiene lo suyo para los q les interese ser un francotirador . saludos

The plot was also alright, seeing as it's not the typical "wE mUsT pReVeNt wOrLd wAr tHrEe" bullsh*t, which I am so glad about, it got old. The graphics were good enough, no issues with gameplay or engine at all. Everything was simple and interesting, kept me going fora couple months, which most games fail to do. I complete most games in about 3-5 days, maybe 7 if I try hard to drag em out, but for me personally, it seemed like even on the easiest difficulty, it still wasn't easy at all, maybe it's just me, no idea, but it I managed to drag the story out for about 2 weeks, thanks to the open world that had me searching for other guns or collectables.

    Upon its release I was thinking between this or Ghost Recon Wildlands. Really got my money’s worth of gaming on SGW 3.

    Straight to the point, controls are good, maps and scenery interesting (yet again another example, how european developers can create nature so lively and natural), decent enough story unfolded by some cut-scenes and conversations without it being too overwhelming. I usually prefer third person view on any game, but this is one of the few games where FPV stealth actually works.
    I would say this game differs from most FPV shooters and stealth games, you have freedom to execute missions in multiple ways. But, having said that, sniper/ghost/warrior approaches could’ve been emphasized more, maybe adding some challenges for replay value, which comes down to the negatives.

    Replay value is minimal, almost a year after launch, with patches, DLC and multiplayer, they still haven’t added at least second save slot. So many gadgets for different types of gameplay, grenades, traps, anti-personnel and -vehicle mines, but nothing to do with them (for example, I remember only a single enemy patrol truck in the whole game).
    Multiple launch bugs were probably the reason for initial reviews being so low. I must have come across every possible bug and borderline game breaking glitch on my first play-though, but enjoyed the game so much that they were manageable. Some minor bugs still exist after the patch.

    Would be a 10 game if it weren’t for the reasons mentioned above, so strong 9.

    I only briefly tried the multiplayer, bounty hunter mode seems ok if you’re into camp out sniping, second mode’s lobby had too long waiting time, third one crashed the game.

    EDIT/UPDATE for multiplayer.
    At daytime I was able to get in to random quick matches, now later in the evening seems there are not enough players in multiplayer. 15-20 minutes in the lobby loading screen tells so.

    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.
