unlabelledView post →From its somewhat juvenile narrative to its often laughable dialogue, Sniper Ghost Warrior 3 doesn’t exactly impress on a storytelling level. The writing lacks subtlety, the characters feel flat, and the tone frequently misses the mark. Yet despite all of that, there’s something oddly compelling about the game that’s hard to pin down. Much like Far Cry 3, the semi open world structure feels more like an excuse to pad the experience with unnecessary side content than a meaningful evolution of…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Last entry in the sniper ghost warrior trilogy. This time it went for an open world approach. I wouldn't say the game is a massive improvement over the second title, there seem to be more bugs some of which are really annoying, especially those that soft lock you. If you're into collecting and exploration, you'll definitely appreciate the 3 large maps with many points of interest. I can't comment on the story since I skipped pretty much all the cutscenes, from the little I watched it's not…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Sniper Ghost Warrior 3 is one of the clearest examples of a franchise losing its own identity. The first two games were far from great and suffered from many of their own problems, but they still felt like games built around the idea of being a sniper. The first game focused on relatively simple missions and objectives, while the second started moving closer to the military shooter trend popular at the time, borrowing heavily from the style and presentation of games like Call of Duty. Neither…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Its buggy, its low budget (tripleA my ass), its really... REALLY slavjanky, but ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, Im having a blast with it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Hello and welcome to my review of CI’s third iteration of their Sniper Ghost Warrior series. I’ll start with my impression immediately. Good ambition, imperfect execution. The reason why I gave it a thumbs up and reluctantly so, is because I feel that it would be too harsh from me to give thumbs down to a game that has so many playable hours embedded in it. I endeavoured to write my review to help gamers with my accurate impression of the game, including tips, hints to help gameplay. Even…

unlabelledView post →This game is terrible; it's all driving and rock climbing. The furthest sniping distance isn't even 600 meters, and the storyline is a mess. It's hard to imagine why they even made a game like this.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Sniping is short, and preparation is long.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A work of "Unappreciated Beauty". This game never got the attention it deserved. Fabulous ethnic soundtrack!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is the worst game i have ever played. so many issues physics and parkour, the Enemy ai is horrible. the story was way too obvious. and i get softlocked in a mission by following the mission. horrible map and ♥♥♥♥♥♥ design overall. The map feels like very empty and missing so much. IF YOU LIKE SNIPING GAMES I GUESS. i do like sniping games but found this very awful. i only played this cause its an easy 100% achievement playthrough. although one achievement is somewhat broken (get all…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pretty fun. Its a mix of sniper elite/farcry. Open world, main quest/side quests, tons of points of interest. Story is kinda generic. Definetly worth getting if you see it on sale and enjoy sniper elite.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Before trying sgw3 i have played sgw contracts 2 and 1 in this order because of how people ranked of how good they were. After a really good impression of SGW Contracts 2, the best modern sniper game no duscussion, i craved for more headshots sniping and ended up here. As the reviews say, game has bad and good things. This game is a replica of far cry (probably comparing to 4) as map, gameplay mechanics and close to graphics quality but the major drawback is the idea of open world is…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →“Sometimes the only thing that actually hits the target is the bullet leaving the barrel.” Sniper: Ghost Warrior 3 is one of those games that makes a great first impression. In the opening hours, it feels like it's finally taking the series in the right direction with bigger maps, more freedom, and a stronger focus on tactical gameplay. But the longer you play, the more obvious it becomes that the game's ambition is far bigger than what it actually manages to deliver. The one thing it…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I had played SGW Contracts, so thought I'd go back in the series a bit and play some of the others. Picked up SGW3 and was proceeding through the main campaign. It's okay, but not great. - The visuals are great. The environments are well done, the lighting is good, motion is smooth. - Gameplay is good, but missions can get a little repetitive. - Shooting mechanics are solid. - Some missions can be a little tedious. Mainly the ones where you are given a point to reach up in the mountains…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I have no idea why people had such high hopes for this to be a banger. Most CI Games products were mediocre at best, while only Sniper Ghost Warrior 2 and Lords of the Fallen showed some glimpses of hope, despite being quite decent, but not great. But what about this? Well, it's decent and better than their previous efforts (it's not an achievement). Sniping mechanics are pretty well made, and the game gives you a lot of different approaches from sniping to stealth, or storming an entire base…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →as near as i can tell, the one he's watching right now is of a Sniper: Ghost Warrior game, but the description is full of "Ghost Recon Wildlands 2026 - Ghost Recon Breakpoint 2026 - Ghost Recon Future Soldier 2026 - Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts - Sniper Ghost Warrior 3 - Bodycam - SWAT 4"
unlabelledView post →What a flawed, beautiful, buggy, almost masterpiece of a sniper game this is. The story takes place across three open world maps in the northwestern region of Georgia. One of the main things I enjoyed about the open world was that the missions were generally specific to things a sniper would do. Some other sniper games will have the player complete a range of barely-related objectives to justify the effort of level design. In this open world, a mission could be as simple as overwatch duty or…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Sniper Ghost Warrior 3 is, in my opinion, the best game in the trilogy and easily the most enjoyable entry in the series. What surprised me the most is how different it feels compared to the first two games. Those titles were much more linear and mission-focused, while here the developers went in a completely different direction with a large open world. Honestly, I often felt like I was playing a Far Cry game rather than a traditional Sniper Ghost Warrior title, and that's not a bad thing at…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So Boring and so Stuttery game, on my specs it stutter a lot
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is like Sniper Elite. You have three open world map and with a base. At the base you choise your equipments, craft some stuff and pick a mission. The gun play is solid. Sniping is good. Good choice of equipments to play the game. I didn't run into game breaking bug/glitches like others have said. Not saying there are no glitches or weird things though. DLCs: no new weapon no achievements Only do them if you want more I had fun with the game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →the Bad: Even with community patch, game is rather buggy. #1 character drops thru the world and gets stuck, see #2 for a occasional loop. #2 checkpoint system for saves, barely works, usually have to start 25+ minutes from the start as missions are multipart.. #3 remember to disable rifle dlc or 2 just to get past main mission wedding & church missions without crash loop. #4 enemies respawn like it"s black friday the good: #1 sniping is decent when it works, not a sniper elite but…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Lots of bugs and gameplay issues.....might not pick it up again......I wish I would have run into these bugs before the refund period
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game definetely doesn't deserve that much bad comments. I think people was expecting something like COD or Battlefield =P I enjoyed playing this. If you like sniper games, I am sure you will enjoy, too. I played SGW2 before this but I didn't like SGW2. This one was completely different. You go to ops by car, there are 3 regions on the map, main ops and side ops, unlockable features and a good story.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very buggy: Enemies will spawn, despawn based on your distance to them, it completly ruins the gameplay when you can't even be sure if the enemy you just saw with your drone is no longer there when you use your rifle scope. Also had a few clipping through the terrain a few times which forced me to restart mission. Not even worth the $5 when on sale or your time.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A sniper game where you can't get too far or the enemies despawn... Awesome, even tried fixing it with a mod and still could barely get about 500m at best before everything got unrendered. Jesus. Why would the devs even put snipers with a 1200m range if you can't even get to half of that? what a way to kill the fun. The gameplay is ok, it's fun, nothing revolutionary. Your typical stealth FPS gunplay. Story is boring, I actually did not give a single ♥♥♥♥, you could see the plot twist from…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →the game has so many bugs it's almost unplayable , loading screen take too long, i played games like contracts 1 and 2 on the highest graphics and the gameplay was smooth ,sniper ghost contract 1 and 2 are way better and more fun to play. im not enjoying this game that much. the only good think about this game is the music
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Disappointingly mediocre game. Only recommended to buy it on sale! Game is basically Far Cry with Sniper mechanics. Sniper shooting is great and fun. Exploration is fun sometimes but the entire game world is empty and you'll meet npc characters in some hub areas only. Basically you go to question marks in the map to get items or point of interests. Story: biggest negative so far. Poorly written story, cringey dialogues and ending that makes you almost go WTF!!!! DLC: The Sabotage is decent.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Buy it on sales. Not a bad game, not a good game : just a casual game, very repetitive but funny.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →this it not a bad game, it is an atrocity, a game made by the devil. it is not just the worst game i have ever played but it is the best game i have ever played but it is the worst game i have ever played. if you play it ther is no going back. you wont sleep at night because you would think how bad this game is. and you will brobably have to poop so hard your eye balls are going to fall off. have fun
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you enjoy games that have a terribly unreliable save system. No manual saves, and getting stuck in the environment after investing a significant amount of time in a mission only to have to go back to a checkpoint that is 30 minutes prior to the point you're currently in...Then this is the game for you. I'm sure I've played games that are more poorly coded than this, but I can't remember when. So in short, if you like making others rich while getting constantly frustrated then you'll love…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Dont Bother, it didn't save my progress of 2 hours. Just put me back at the end of the prologue ( first mission ). Stiil waiting on refund.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Long loading times even on SSD and very low draw distance for a sniping game (about 500m)
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →To be honest, I enjoyed it. I don't understand why this game is hated. Stealth mechanics and sniper mechanics are very satisfying. Even to climbing of rock walls feels good. Story is cliché, but that's ok. Overall a very satisfying game. 8/10
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Recommended: Far Cry meets Sniper EliteThis game feels like a Far Cry game but with a heavy focus on sniping. The open world gives you a lot of freedom to complete missions your own way.Pros:Open-world design offers great tactical freedom.Sniping mechanics feel realistic and highly satisfying.Cool gadgets like the drone make scouting fun.Cons:The story and voice acting are a bit cheesy.Long loading times and occasional performance drops.Overall, it is a very fun open-world sniper game.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Rating: 3/10 -Bad TLDR: Farcry from Temu, achieved with CRYENGINE. Got this game for 4 bucks a couple years ago after wanting to play more sniper games. This was definitely the worst one I've played so far. Positive: Gameplay: It desperately tries to be like Farcry but it's low budget sadly. The sniping is serviceable but it doesn't look and feel great. The game has outposts which respawn when leaving and entering the map again. You can't capture them. You can collect loot to craft ammo…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A strange game. I honestly don’t know what it’s trying to be. We have a clear identity crisis here; it wants to be Hitman, Sniper Elite, and Far Cry all at once, but the result is often a bizarre mix of bugs and absurd logic.Judging by the name, it should be a sniping game focused on stealth and tactical approaches. Sure, you have stealth and can play tactically, but then suddenly you’re Ezio from Assassin’s Creed climbing buildings and towers, or you can go full Rambo with an LMG. I rarely…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →"Not a fun game" The sniper in this game cannot run around a house without running out of breath. Not realistic. I thought snipers are real men not fat slobs with beer-bellies. What sharpshooter can't hold his breath for over 10 seconds. Maybe their snipers are little girl scouts. Scoping out targets for the right moment to take the shot, now that's fun. Fast draw is for gun fighters not snipers. What organization wound send a sniper out on a mission with only 20 bullets? What goofball thought…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is broken . It has problem with outpost saving in the game. Even The Graphics are not too good according to the Cry Engine 3 . There are some bugs while playing the game. Rating : 3.5 / 10
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Cool game, great gameplay and concept with few minor failures, graphic is a little old school. Overall good game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →not gonna say the perfect game. but im gonna say this is the best game i played since 2023. the best sniper game with the best storie. wish they don't find more like these type of games lately

unlabelledView post →Fun if jank sniping stealth-action game. Open world is admittingly a little empty and I only recommend it exploring it for side quests/collectables. That said I do think it's a fun decent time.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Will update once further along: So far this is honestly better than GW Contracts 1 and about parity with SGW Contracts 2 for me. Enjoying it, love that you actually see your hand adjust the knobs when you change zoom or the elevation dials on the sniper. Cannot rebind the button for throwing gadgets which is annoying af. Despite that jank I am still enjoying this way more than Ghost Warrior CONTRACTS 1. Would recommend this or the spinoff CONTRACTS 2 if on sale.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm just an old geezer looking for things to shoot and blow up, in the gaming world of course.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is no Sniper Elite. The story is awful, rushed and a walking set of tropes. It's a victim of it's open world, which probably does more to detriment the game than help it. But it's a fun enough Sniper game, especially if you can approach the story with good humour rather than trying to take it seriously.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Awesome game, a considerable improvement over the two previous titles in every way - more stuff to do, longer campaign with better story, more weapons and tech, and two certified euro baddies. What's not to love?
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Play literally any other sniper focused game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It has that feeling of true stealth or that get caught feeling. Makes you think about position before shooting enemies. It has the feel of the game Metal Gear, pretty cool. Except if you get killed you have to start over. Still pretty good!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →this game is full of bugs and can be very annoying from time to time. Gameplay could be a lot better, even if they do a few things right. I like the gunplay and the super soldier feeling, even if it feels unrealistic and the open world part.. but thats about all that keeps me playing. I don't recommend this game, due to the bugs. But if you get it for a few bucks and feel like casually killing a lot of people.. you might want to try it.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pretty decent game for only $2.99 buggy but not unplayable like people say i give it 6/10
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →bugged ♥♥♥♥ 1/5
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →all round very good game love the sniping mechanics. The open world map is great allows you to play anyway you like. The graphics to me personally is not as good as ghost warrior contract 2. Picked up a bug that corrupted some cloud saved files thats frustrating. improvements that can be made ex. sniper rifles that can`t be silenced should have a description telling you the audibile range of the rifle, more interation with camp weapon systems should be allowed ex. weapon turrets, mortar…

unlabelledView post →The game is fun and immersive with great graphics. However, I must criticise it for one thing that makes it very frustrating for an old codger like me. you cannot save game progress when you want and the game's checkpoints are few and far between. After a difficult section of play, fail once as you go forward and you're back to the beginning - the last checkpoint which means the difficult area has to be done again. If I could save progress after an extreme navigation climb series t would be…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →When I first started playing this game I didn’t like it. I hated the creator for adding open-world activities to the game. But something kept bringing me back it’s a tactical sniper simulation game and I’ve already played it three times. I like it now and the open world and beautiful graphics. Sometimes this game reminds me of Far Cry 3 and that beautiful world full of exploration
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game does not deserve the bad ratings. It can be a bit buggy and the voice acting is mediocre, but besides that it's a good game with a good story. No clue what issues people have with it.
