    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.

    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.

    city interactive brought there best game yet ( i guess ) with great gameplay and great open world , but the technical issues are to big to speak as a must have , if they don't fix this then i don't see a bright future for this game

    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

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

    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 can say there is a nice satisfaction from seeing a gaping glory hole in an enemies head from pulling off a good headshot though.

Other things I have found.. floating in the air, enemy AI being alerted for no reason, and some noticeable lighting issues.

    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.

    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.
