Sniper: Ghost Warrior 3 Reviews
The production value isn't as high as I'd hoped, but the game knows what it is and every mechanic and feature works together in tandem.
Sniper: Ghost Warrior 3 is a failed attempt to make a clone of Far Cry with a focus on sniper battles. The game was drowned in bugs, stupid plot, superfluous mechanics and boring gameplay.

Sniper: Ghost Warrior 3 is a game that just wasn't ready to be released. I believe there is a near future when you're going to find this one in the bargain bin or on a deep discount in a digital sale, after the numerous bugs have been patched and that multiplayer is added in, and then there will be an opportunity to enjoy a solid experience. This is not a AAA FPS but it does deliver some good moments when it works, has very good gameplay mechanics working for it, finds that balance between open world and engaging set pieces, and is presented through an interesting environment. However, the single player plot remains atrocious, there is no multiplayer, and in it's current beta state it's just not yet worth it.
CI Games's latest, Sniper: Ghost Warrior 3, puts the player's courage and tolerance to the test.
Sniper Ghost Warrior 3 is a pretty generic FPS with a boring and empty open world setting.

In its core, Sniper: Ghost Warrior 3 is a solid Shooter, that suffers from technical problems and a bunch of other blemishes.

Sniper Ghost Warrior 3 can be an enjoyable FPS game, but unfortunately the very good shooting sensations are not enough to forget all the flaws, AI problems and glitches of the game.

Sniper Ghost Warrior 3 is a promising and somewhat ambitious concept that's plagued with some monstrous game-breaking technical issues, inconsistent AI and some downright curious design choices. Some of it can doubtless be patched but as it stands, this is far from a finished product.
Sniper: Ghost Warrior 3 offers some of the most satisfying sniping you can imagine, but everything outside of that just feels too drab and lacklustre to truly make it standout.
Granting players the freedom to decide how to take on missions and utilize the excellent sniping mechanic however they like is an idea that the Sniper Ghost Warrior 3 series required to improve on the underwhelming first two entries. However, since everything else, from the characters to the open world itself, lack polish, depth, and quality – on top of the game being riddled with technical problems – Sniper Ghost Warrior 3 is far more dull and frustrating than it is ever enjoyable.
Sniper Ghost Warrior 3 should have been a better game. Disassembled, it had all the parts needed to give the thrill of the one-shot one-kill calibre that it deserves. The assembled game however, completely misses its target as it comes off as a mismanaged product that fails to deliver on its promises.
A slick sniping title in name, but one that also encourages creativity, delivers action, and demands adaptation, Sniper: Ghost Warrior 3 is one hell of a ride. Although it has a lackluster story and a handful of minor issues, it's still an immensely enjoyable separatist kill fest set in the gorgeous open-world landscapes of former Soviet Georgia.
Sniper Ghost Warrior 3 tries to accommodate its namesake by offering sniping, sneaking and action into one open world package, but only sniping succeeds at being any fun.
Sniper: Ghost Warrior 3 has to be partially excused for some of its shortcomings, given CI's inexperience at producing larger scale, bigger budget games. It does have a pleasing core experience that is sadly let down by, more or less, every other facet of the game. Come for the poor load times, the dreadful writing and the painted-on, wooden expressions the game's cast has, but stay for the sniping. Because the sniping is great.
Sniper Ghost Warrior 3 is good at sniping, but is hampered by needless open world mechanics and poor design choices.
Other than the technical issues, SGW3 is probably exactly what you expected and even hoped for — a AA modern military shooter with a focus on sniping that evolves the franchise into open world. If you can wait for additional patching or don't mind some of the stout bugs, SGW3 offers an enjoyable experience.
Sniper: Ghost Warrior 3 has some good moments when you focus on the sniping aspect set in the open world environment. It's a shame it suffers from several bugs and feels a little misguided. I couldn't find myself invested in the main character or the plight of anyone around me, but rather I was just interested in the game's excellent array of weaponry and ability to kill everyone. Maybe that's a bad sign, but to my defense, hunting down collectibles gets old.
Bad engine, series of oversights or rushing release date – one of these made Sniper: Ghost Warrior 3 not worth your money. If you are a fan of the genre – wait for a discount and couple of patches.

Overall, Sniper Ghost Warrior 3 has some awesome features for customizing and building up your weapons, a wide open world where going about the mission is up to you, and a fun drone to pilot around, but the bland story, bugs and glitches, and lazy design choices make this game nothing special.
