    Nice music choices, Weapon variety, Enjoyable gameplay but a classic story and fps problems are the bad side of the game.

    Buggy trash.
    Poorly optimized.
    Constant crashes.
    Bugged missions.
    Poor climbing mechanics
    Its just a AA FPS which isn't worth your time or money

    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

    Burning through a lot of games in the Pandemic lockdown. I remember I liked the first Sniper Ghost Warrior. Even though it had way to much scripted BS. The story and VA is like good old 80's action hero movie cheese.

    Ok this third game in the series runs not that great and looks last gen. Yeah it is buggy and glitched in places with some animations. I was getting a lot of crashes and freezes, but I deleted the game and reinstalled in full and it seems to have improved stability. So I am thinking maybe a initial corrupted download.

    Nice little arsenal of gadgets and nades to use to mix up the tactics. The drone gimmick is kind of a fun and cool to use to scout out the areas. The drone recall animation might look cool, but it takes time. So if a mortar attack is incoming or under small arms fire you can do nothing, but die which is annoying.

    The looting and crafting is just basic. I liked the fact I could now do non-linear non-scripted free roam activities in a SGW game. The mini open world is ok, but what never gets old is the slow motion sniper bullet camera. The bullet time camera gimmick is a fun hook for sure. This is a low production budget title for sure and I had more fun with it than I thought I would.

    SIDE OP MISSION NOTE: The "Bridge" mission forces the player into a long drive. Then a time wasting mountain climb. To a scripted tiny fixed snipe point. While providing cover for a scripted infiltration team mission. The checkpoint system is broke on this mission. So a alert fail is a complete redo. Yes all the way back to driving to climbing to sniping all over again. Do yourself a time saving favor and watch a walk through first maybe.    … Expand

    Good, but could be better. The open world is very empty, and it doesn't do any good for the SGW. Feels like there was no time to polish it. Besides that, the sniping is satisfying, and you should get it on a deep sale.

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

    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 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.
    ps.
    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.
    You start the game, order pizza by phone. Pizza arrives, you have time to eat it, drink it and at this moment the game has uploaded. :(

    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.    … Expand

    Get it very cheap. Some quick notes. Game came out, looked like crap on console. Ps4 pro patch some time later, now looks great. Climbing mechanics feel clunky. This game is just Farcry. Middle chunk of game was great. Ending was painfully disappointing. Story is from the pages of cliche. No creative twists. Odd. Game play loop feels good. Thats about it. Recommend this game at $15 or less.

    Polish shooter is a long separate genre. GHOST WARRIOR 3 is clearly aiming at the new Far Cry. And games are really remotely similar, but GHOST WARRIOR 3 is not Far Cry, it's not even Wildland. I got more pleasure from Wildland. But these games are different budgets.

    In this game we can quietly kill enemies with a sniper rifle or loudly barge in and kill all of the machine. Sniper gameplay I like, we need to calculate the distance to the target, but if hit in the head, pluchery slowmo when the bullet in slow motion pierces the skull of an enemy. Ballistics in the game are normal. Here, the weapons felt.
    The plot of the game is. Developers sometimes even try to present a drama or reveal the relationship of the protagonist and his girlfriend. But the game has no really interesting characters, and silently kill enemies from a sniper rifle or noisy machine can be in the same Far Cry.

Even if you played these games, that GHOST WARRIOR 3 will be a poor substitute - you will quickly get bored. If you want to buy up to the 75% discount, it is not longer necessary.

    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.

    You need to sit patiently and wait for the perfect opportunity. Only mark this as a serious target after much time, patching, and price drops. [July 2017, p77]
