    Sniper Ghost Warrior 3 is a serviceable open-world first person shooter with some great sniping mechanics, yet it's low production values and lack of polish completely ruin what could be a very enjoyable experience.

    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.

    Not sure where are all the disappointment and hate is coming from but here are my thoughts...

    1.. People have complained about framerate issues and slow loading times. This has not been my experience. Could be a hardware thing? Also, I know that PS 4 version may be experiencing this, similar to Just Cause 3 where loading times would take up to 2- 3minutes... Not for PC in my experience. I have it up on Very High 3840X2160... whatever resolution and it's gorgeous, no issues.

    2. This is a mix of Farcry 4, Assassins Creed and Crisis. Better than all IMO. I just really enjoy the Critek Engine for shooters and if you add that with some Open World, RPG-like elements for character leveling up, then it makes for almost a perfect FPS for me.

    3. World so far seems to be diverse enough with characters and enemies to keep me "wowed" and entertained for some time (I've only completed 2 missions). I own Sniper Elite 4 and Ghost Recon Wildlands, but I think GW3 beats them both hands down in terms of fun factor.

    PC version is the way to go.    … Full Review »

    A great game held back by performance
    Sniper Ghost Warrior 3 is a first person shooter that takes place in Georgia, the country
    You play as American Marine Captain Jon North attempting to prevent another cold war…
    The story sounds pretty generic, but things do start getting interested, and I did care for these character despite how generic they actually are.. one of them is basically elana fisher with longer hair and an accent..
    Despite the game being called sniper, this isn’t a sniper simulator…
    The words ghost and warrior hint at options… and that’s exactly what you get here
    This is an open world game with a base that you use to buy new weapons you unclock from completing missions or picking up off of enemies, as well as buy ammo and gear and choose your next mission…
    But this open world isn’t vast, it isn’t connected…
    it just exists…
    it’s a world to put missions into and nothing else..
    You have a buggy to drive around, but there are no other vehicles on the road and the ones off road are all locked…
    There are points of interest around the map though if you are into the ubisoft style clean up…
    Or you can stick to the 11 hour campaign
    The campaign is fun to get through, and challenging…
    Its satisfying scoping out the place with your drone, sniping out enemies from a distance and then going in for the objective, or being a ghost, sneaking in, taking enemues out silently while you try not to alert anyone or be caught on camera.. and then theres the warrior option of just going in guns blazing…
    There are mandatory do not get detection sections of the game, but for the most part.. youre free to tackle a mission any way youd like..
    You can even mix your play style up like I did…
    This means youre going to be unlocking perks in all 3 skill trees for sniper ghost and warrior, but if you prefer one play style then that means of course youll be more decked out for that style with the skill tree..
    Missions are what youd expect…
    Get a point on the map to go to and complete the objective.. nothing more..
    And despite the missions structure being the same throughout, the missions all felt unique thanks to the great level design this game has…
    The game felt fresh throughout…
    However the performance of this game brings all of the great parts down…
    For starts the load times…
    Theyre painful…
    Some missions take place on different sections of the map.. and to get to these sectiosn you have to deal with the games initial load screen..
    Which is 4 minutes long, I wish I was kidding, but the load time for this game is longer than this review…
    Its painful…
    The game also froze trying to load in 2 times….
    And the game would freeze and crash mid shot probably 3 or 4 times….
    its just not reliable…
    and its only made worse by again the 4 minute load time to get back into the game and the fact that checkpoints in missions are so awful…
    Sniper Ghost Warrior 3 is enjoyable,
    The calculating, the scouting, the turning the dials of your scope to adjust to a targets distance..
    All of this makes the campaign so satisfying to get through…
    But the freezes, the crashes, the load times…
    Theyre going to annoy… so be prepared…

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.… Full Review »
