    A modest but fun adventure set in the Middle East, with some inaccuracies due to AI that maybe would have needed some extra work. Sniper phases are well implemented, though.

    Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 2 blows off a heck of a lot of heads, but never managed to blow my mind. Its long range sniper shots feel genuinely satisfying to pull off, but the enemy AI is so dimwitted it almost seems cruel to kill them. With an upgrade system that’s largely skippable and mostly uninspired mission challenges, Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 2 is a competent sniper sim that lacks the edge required to be a real sharpshooter.

    Our fear of a 1.5 version of Sniper: Ghost Warriors Contracts, only 18 months after the previous one was released, turned out to be quite real. Fortunately, our concern was soothed by the studio's choice for a Middle East environment with its warm colours instead of a freezing Siberia, as well as adding the well designed and essential long-range shooting feature for contracts of more than one kilometre. We can’t deny that Contracts’ formula isn’t efficient for whoever is fond of a mix of precision shots, action and stealth. This second episode enhances many strong features of the previous one, but it’s sad to say that it also keeps all the annoying parts such as a poor AI and a bland narrative to keep up appearances. Nonetheless, for whoever thinks that sniper shots are divine gifts, they will obviously have a dozen hours of intense fun with it. Thanks to an AA’s cheaper range of price, the contract is rightly fulfilled and let us hope for an exclusively new gen third episode that’ll take risks and be more ambitious than ever.

Before you fire the first and perhaps also the important shot, you can first prepare yourself with a lot of skill and planning. Here comes an extensive and improved system therefore and also again many helpful gadgets to the use. If the graphics and sound are improved in the coming parts, the series could celebrate many successes again.… Full Review »

    Quite possibly the worst sniper/stealth shooter I have played. Garbage AI, terrible level design, frustrating mechanics, just avoid.

I found this way better than sniper elite 4. SGWC2 is an amazing fps with focus on sniper as the primary weapon. Gameplay requires the player to use tact and planning on their part, but the game pace is still faster than sniper elite series. Each map and missions are really fun and challenging. The only complaint I have is that the drone was almost unusable with all the anti drone towers about, otherwise the game is almost perfect for a single player campaign.… Full Review »
