Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2 is a significant improvement over the first game. The graphics are better, the sound design is stronger, the presentation feels more modern, and overall it immediately gives a better first impression. Compared to the original release, there is a clear evolution in production quality. Unfortunately, once the novelty wears off, many of the same problems begin to appear again. The biggest issue …

I can't believe this game is actually playable. It's a massive improvement over its predecessor in almost every way imagineable. Not perfect by any means but still enjoyable.

**Rating: 5/10** I picked this up during a sale for basically nothing, knowing it had a mixed reputation. After playing through the campaign, I can see exactly why opinions are all over the place. This is a game that does some things genuinely well, but the flaws are impossible to ignore. Let me start with what surprised me: the sniping mechanics are actually solid. You have to account for wind, distance, and bullet …

I stopped playing this series after dealing with that lovely moment in the first game when the enemies can run and shoot at your head with 100% accuracy from a mile away. I honestly thought the franchise was just done for me. A few days ago I noticed this one sitting in my library kinda collecting dust and figured alright, whatever, I’ll give it a try. Surprisingly it’s a lot better than the first one. That …

Players who liked Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2 talk about satisfying sniping with realistic bullet physics; those who didn't talk about frequent bugs, crashes, and audio issues. Which matters more to you?
Critics, per Wikipedia
Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2 received "mixed or average" reviews, according to review aggregator Metacritic. Gameplanet's reviewer writes that the game is not as linear as other modern (i.e. in the game's time) shooters, and calls it "easily its greatest strength". GameSpot praises the script, acting, graphics and sound: "A well-written, well-acted script give the game a great action-movie vibe, as do authentic-looking visuals and animations powered by the CryEngine 3. Excellent sound effects do a wonderful job of pulling you in. Weapon noises, the shouts of enemy voices, the far-off rattle of weapon fire in war-torn Sarajevo, and various atmospheric sounds like the background hum of the…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →First playthrough review time. Sniper Ghost Warrior 2 is a first person shooter that mostly focuses on long range shooting. The sniping system is made with some detail, where things like lying down, wind, and distance all matter when taking shots. Most of the time there is also a stealth style approach, where you move quietly and try to avoid open fights. The AI is quite simple, so many situations do not feel very hard. On higher difficulty, the game removes aiming help, so you need to handle…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2 delivers satisfying long-range shooting with realistic bullet physics and tense stealth missions. The visuals and atmosphere are solid, but the linear level design and repetitive gameplay hold it back from greatness.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you're a fan of Sniping mechanics and grabbed it on a steep discount. It ehhh-however offers a few hours of simple long range target practice. However, if you are looking for freedom, deep stealth or open tactical choices, do go for games like sniper elite 4 or 5 or the later sniper ghost warrior contracts series which do the concept far better.

neutral · AI labelView post →I never played this game before and I got it for like 2 dollars from a g2a random key. seems like a actually decently fun little sniper elite type of game but I did the first mission and game crashed and was gonna make me do the first mission all over again so I can not recommend this game on pc at least. there are probably fixes you can find but for a game I got by random chance for 2 bucks on g2a I ain't doin all that.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Replayed this just for the nostalgia factor, 13 years later its still doing okay and holding up to this date in satisfying shooting and passable story, you can argue the graphics are not that great but we are talking about a 2013 game here, It still has a lot of bugs idk why they add a DX11 option just to crash your game. i would recommend to not touch the graphics settings at all.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The first 10 minutes had an immersive environment that actually pulled me in. After that, it was all downhill. The game is incredibly generic and repetitive. Generic boring story. Same boring stealth-snipe formula on repeat with zero variety. It honestly feels like a low-budget mobile game stretched onto PC/console brain-dead AI, forgettable missions, and weapons that all handle the same. Extremely shallow and dull. Total disappointment after the opening. Avoid.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's a budget title, but it's not a bad one. Actually I liked it a lot better than recent Call of Duty games because although there is a story there's fewer cutscenes without your ability to interact with the environment. When your spotter says 'Don't shoot that guy!' you can anyway...and end up in the middle of an firefight. The game will not end immediately unless a major objective is botched (a hostage or important guy is killed or the player) but you can just blast your way through a base…

neutral · AI labelView post →One of the worst games I’ve played. The game is borderline unplayable with the bullet cam enabled, it literally crashes over and over again You have to disable it in order to complete the game. The AI is awful, the mechanics are awful, and the hit detection is awful. It tries to be Call of Duty and fails miserably. It tries to be Sniper Elite and fails miserably. The only real positives are that some of the settings are fairly unique, and the music is perfectly fine a very much a CoD-style…
