    Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 2 has in its favor the shortage of titles with similar characteristics on the market. Its accessibility and adaptability to any player is, by far, its greatest success. However, the progress that the saga showed with its predecessor in 2019 has been cut off, we are facing a less ambitious delivery than one might expect. The truth is that, without being completely upset, I expected a lot more from it, having left me somewhat indifferent. There are better alternatives in the genre, even within its own saga.

    You can collect diaries and tinder boxes in the levels, for each objective and collectible you get cash and skill points. You use the cash to get upgrades for your equipment, like silencers for your sniper rifle, or different kinds of weapons, the game has a fantastic arsenal available and a bunch of significant upgrades for each gun.

    The skills vary from stealth kills that you can chain, similar to the Far Cry games, to the ability of climbing from the bottom of zip lines like in Tomb Raider. You also have a “mask vision” mode that relies on an automatically rechargeable battery, it highlights interactable objects and, after you upgrade it, security systems, and enemies.

    The levels are extremely varied, not only for how they look, but also because of their design, most of the levels are composed of open areas with a multitude of different objectives to complete, think of something like Metro Exodus, or Sniper Elite 4, it offers a fantastic amount of freedom for how to tackle your objectives, as well as what objective you want to get to first.

    The stealth mechanics are fairly simplistic, but satisfying, you can sneak behind enemies and either kill them quickly with your knife, or alternatively, you can interrogate them, interrogating them reveals enemy locations, and if already known, they can also reveal caches, and secret ammo cases.
    The sniping is extremely satisfying, the game is fairly violent and there’s a lot of feedback in the bullet kill cams, that you can disable, or increase the frequency of, to your liking.

    The game looks beautiful, and detailed, varied in its presentation, and runs beautifully on pc.

    The game is fairly cheap and offers a lot of replayability.

    Happy to see this developer improving so much.

Poor key bindings, a confusing interface (how for example do you actually select grenades and throw them?), messy sandbox missions that feel aimless (no pun intended), stupid enemies, too may long shot missions and annoyingly drawn out save cycles. Topped off by more than a few bugs.

    Eye candy wise it has a lot to offer but then so do a lot of other poor games. I played for a couple of hours and quickly became bored and irritated, in equal measure.

    Last time I'll have anything to do with this franchise.
