As a casual gamer I think this game is great... It has a story, some shooting and requires a bit of stelth gaming... Controls and handling is good. Al in all a great game to lose some time and be entratained.
DEVELOPERS FIX THE MULTIPLY BUGS IN THIS GAME!
For gamers looking to buy, I brought this on sale and wouldn’t pay full price as there are bugs with certain areas like the main map stop functioning, shooting un-obstructed yet it’s like I’m hitting concrete, climbing multiply buildings you get stuck, the shooting physics can screw up and only reloading the last checkpoint to resolve.
The concept is OK but predictable, graphics is 2012-13 quality but still playable, would expect better for CryEngine, suspect they’re using the Ver Crysis 2 was made with in 2013.
Ill keep pushing on till the end but I doubt ill ever want to play again.
Unfortunately I didn't keep my original review for this game but the bad taste still lingers. I originally said this was OK and gave it 2 stars but that was more or less my initial impressions. As I kept playing I wanted to change things but GoG didn't allow you to write anything of worth/length and you couldn't edit anything. I guess GoG thought this was a web guestbook from the mid 1990's not a review system.
So back to the sham, I mean game. I had seen Sniper games for years. Mostly set in WW2 they always showcased long range shooting...I mean the name implies you will be doing long range precision shooting! So when I saw this game I figured/hoped it was the same just set with more modern gear and set pieces...boy was I wrong...I mean the false advertising is strong with this one.
The longer I played the more obvious it was this game is just a terrible half baked modern CBQ game. You will constantly be a stones throw from enemies and with the ammunition scarcity you will be throwing stones. When you do find ammo it will be for general infantry weapons, M4, G36, various sub machine guns. Nothing you'd want when buying a game to...snipe. Worse is the ammunition you get won't cut it as you will mag dump just to get one guy down then you're back to throwing rocks at the other 5 that just popped up.
The sound is bad, story is bad, animations bad, voice acting bad. This is like some generic action B movie that gets roasted by Red Letter Media on a Best of the Worst episode.
In short, this game sucks.
The game has good graphics, the sniping system is nice, even if after a couple of hours you'll deactivate the sniping zoom that shows the bullet going from your rifle to the target, because it makes you lose too much time and gets boring very soon.
The game is basically stealth, but if you get caught you can just fight making all the mess you want, you just have to be a bit careful because you can go down with few shots.
The story is basically an excuse to make you go around the area to kill enemies and clear their bases, but it's understandable for a game like this, even if it could get boring soon if you don't like the system of cleaning outposts to get resources and new weapons and stuff.
About the weapons, I spent about 80% of the whole game with the same sniper rifle, even if I unlocked many new rifles... too bad that they all have lower stats, and not just a little but by a lot, so it was useless to change the rifle... once I got a new one, it was without suppressor, making it useless for a game called "sniper GHOST warrior". I got a decent new rifle just almost at the end of the game.
You can also craft bullets and accessories! That's great! Too bad that you have a load of money and you can just buy them all for few bucks, making the whole crafting really useless, never used it for the whole game, just tried it at the beginning.
Overall decent to play, not a masterpiece but worth it.
