Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 2

Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 2 is a competent sniper sim that lacks the edge required to be a real sharpshooter.

Blending classic stealth mechanics with puzzle-y sniping, Contracts 2 gets the job done.

Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 2 is one of the best games in the world for doing sniping right, that's something I firmly believe. However, CI Games almost seem afraid of letting the game shine, all too often moving you away from sniping, an action the game is named after. In addition, the game is showing a few issues, such as downright stupid AI and a few bugs here and there. It's a shame because there are good open areas to move around in, the contracts allow you to use your brain and plan the perfect hit and it all looks great while you're on your path to becoming the world's best blood-spatter creator.

Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 2 is an excellent and worthy sequel to the game released two years ago, in which the developers at City Interactive took the tried-and-true mechanics and gave them a fresh new look. The biggest draw of the second installment is undoubtedly long-range shooting, which offers a new challenge—especially for die-hard fans of the series—and many players are sure to love this feature. We must also praise the realistic weapon behavior, the pleasant design of the locations, and the semi-open world, which offers players countless additional possibilities and tasks that can significantly extend playtime. Unfortunately, along with its well-functioning mechanics, the sequel has also inherited the bad aspects, so we still encounter occasional bugs or tragically behaving enemy AI. Ultimately, however, this is a great title that should definitely not be missing from your collection of action games, and if you’re a fan of stealth and sniping, Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 2 is a must-have for you.

Sniper: Ghost Warrior Contracts 2 goes against more mainstream military shooters but offers something more resembling an actual soldier. The planning, the gadgets, and the overall narrative come together for a more appealing tactical shooter.

Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 2 is a fun next-gen experience on the PlayStation 5 and the devs should be commended on implementing some new gaming tech with the franchise from 4K graphics to fast load times and my personal favourite, immersive haptics when you pull the trigger. Additionally the gameplay works well and all in, Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 2 is a positive and engaging experience on the PlayStation 5.

A huge step in the right direction, and more groundbreaking and notable than the last game; SGWC2 legitimately elevates its self from its pedigree to form an absolutely rock solid package. This is definitely one to play and highly recommended for sniping aficionados. Now that the level of presentation matches the in-game content it's a package not to be missed especially on PS5.

The episode of maturity for CI Games. Between the phases of pure action and infiltration, this Contracts 2 gives you a feeling of deep freedom in the open worlds traveled, and the stress of being spotted is even more present. Add to this beautiful scenery thanks to the CryEngine and an interesting contribution of the DualSense, you have here a perfect simulator of remote murder.

Before it gets shot out through my chest, I can put my hand on my heart and say this is the best game of the Sniper series that CI Games has made. Congratulations to them. Do they hit the mark after a long line of mediocre games? Well, it isn’t a headshot, but it definitely kills. It seems they have learned from mistakes and created a pretty good game. Yes, there are a couple of bugs at the time of writing this, but nothing a patch can’t fix. I found myself going to bed late a couple of nights because I wanted to finished one more assignment. And, I will be going back to look at the challenges. I award Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 2 the Thumb Culture Gold Award.

With some nicely-detailed visuals and decent voice-acting, Sniper Ghost Warrior: Contracts 2 is a polished offering from CI Games.
