    With Contracts, the Sniper Ghost Warrior series finally gets on the right track by focusing on the level design of closed environnements and featuring strategic gameplay.

    Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts offers us a rather demanding but very enjoyable sniper experience.

    Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts offers a lot in a surprisingly small package, however, with all the glitches and errors, there is just some guilty pleasure I get when I drop a sniper from 500m+. With a lackluster story mode that means relatively nothing, some graphics that are good but not great, an army of glitches at its disposal and no bullet X-Ray kill cam, this game is far from perfect, and at $40 maybe even a bit overpriced. When you think of all the content you get for that price however, Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts just may be on your radar.

    It is a little rough around the edges, and there are annoyances, but the core gameplay and the way the sniping is handled makes it a game that I can recommend if you are looking to scratch that sniping itch.

    It feels like a reinvention of the series, and if this is the starting block that is built upon in further releases, I’m in.

    Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts has a few fresh ideas, but it takes several steps sideways steps as it looks to make a claim in the sniper game sub-genre. An experience that is often good, but never great.

    Despite remaining true to the essence of the franchise, Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts has no elements to highlight in the FPS scene and may represent an option that attracts the attention of the public that remains true to this CI Games proposal, but nothing more.

    Sniper Ghost Warrior: Contracts' potential feels wasted on missions and objectives that have you putting the rifle down and trying your luck with the game's lesser systems.

    Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts introduces a good new gameplay structure, only to waste it with lots of bugs, a lackluster enemy AI and quite bad graphics.

Many of theSniper Ghost Warrior Contracts I found to be a great idea of fun. It almost feels as a Sniper Elite, Far Cry, and Hitman mash up. Many of the in game mechanics from those games are implemented yet CI Games has implemented in them in a way that still feels fresh and well done. This might be the most enjoyment from the many games that released this year. It may not be the most unique , but the execution is there and while there were many great games this year I really had fun with this one. It's definitely refreshing after the likes of Sniper Ghost Warrior 3. Definitely buy this game if your looking for an entertaining experience for your Xbox One and are fans of any of the games I mentioned similarities to. While not perfect in every way, the entertainment factor was there for me. Definitely worth checking out for fans of the genre. Full Review »

This type of approach and weapon forces the need for precision, after all, the bullet will not fly where we see crosshair. The wind can take it or fall under the influence of gravity and so we need to special system in the scope. The game offers really good sniping mechanics, of course it has its flaws like clumsy AI but from my perspective (huge fan of sniping) this game is totally worth its price! Full Review »

    Console version of this game is a total mistake. Graphics is very blurry due to low resolution (looks like 900p or even lower) and texturesConsole version of this game is a total mistake. Graphics is very blurry due to low resolution (looks like 900p or even lower) and textures from PS2 era. It's all masked by the blur filters which makes it even worse... There is absolutely no Xbox One X support! In 2019, and in the game like this!? It's pathetic... Ci Games still lives in their own world, where Xbox One X and PS4 Pro doesn't exist... If you saw this game on YT in the PC version and expect something similar on Xbox One X than better stay away from this because you'll be very dissapointed. There are many other problems with this game, like stupid AI, glitches, and short campaign, but it's typical for this developer so there's no surprise... Full Review »
