“The game is quite buggy regarding trying to finish challenges. It is a fun game in concept, but it takes a certain mood and mindset to enjoy the game, if you aren't a completionist, pick this game up on sale, and you'll…”
“I see myself as an elite sniper… until the wind decides otherwise . I love planning my perfect shots, even if it sometimes ends in a completely improvised escape . It’s beautiful, demanding, and above all, it reminds me…”
“Each region in the game is its own open-world style sandbox. You're given a list of "contracts" a.k.a. objectives to accomplish, but you're given free reign to choose how you accomplish those objectives. I have 100%…”

“This game is surprisingly nice. Coming from the previous games in this franchise, I thought this would be much less polished than it is. And, luckily, this game, unlike previous ones, doesn't have you tied, nailed, and…”
“Pretty good. Can be as challanging as you make it, depending on the level of difficulty you place it on and the course you go to complete tasks.”

“fun game, fun sniping, good graphics”
“Best Sniper Game Ever , If you want action , suspence and Thrilling , with tactical thinking and assasin game play , then this is the game to play. Very advanced weapons and adjustable enviroment scope sight kill shots.…”

“Get this at the right price - less than 2 quid for me and it's as good a tactical shooter as you can get. Looks really nice too. I'd played the previous ones on xbox and hated them, hence the looooonng delay to play…”
“This is pretty solid for 3 dollas”

“As soon as you're spotted the entire map aggros you and has extra high perception, which means you're reloading every single time unless you want to go zero stealth for the mission. Too annoying, man.”
“This game is really nothing special. The sniping mechanics are rather shallow and you often play as a glorified infiltrator. There just aren't that many targets with actual sniping opportunities, you just sneak around…”
“This game takes the bad parts of sniper elite and adds them to the bad parts of hitman. Skip!”

“unfair, poorly balanced and glitchy”
“Good game. However I have gotten stuck multiple times and had to restart the mission. It is still a good game and well worth the play. Highly recommend the 2nd game.”

“Personally I'm really enjoying this. It's a sniper game you can take slow with time and patience, without feeling like wasting time. Sniper elite is much more straightforward to me, this one is more for sneaking and…”

“its a good game enjoyable to play, just one problem for me. The developer could not be bothered to allow you to save your game as you go. the game programmed saves are too far apart. You spend most time repeating the…”

“Clunky movement, mediocre writing, and bland level design. Content is sparce, featuring only a handful of levels and a very short list of weapons. But it certainly isn't short of weapon skins, in fact it has more skins…”
“wasn't a bad game, very short story and no multiplayer, was worth the $5 i pai but i wouldn't be to happy paying $45”
“Let's see... from my experience: - Really bland writing and dialogue (typical AAA bland humor talks) - Clunky movement and camera (sometimes you actually go inside the walls during melee kill and go out of bounds, other…”

“This is easily the worst game that I've played, in a long time. I don't know how it was, when it was first released, but now, it's shattered. Stealth just isn't feasible. I lost count of how many times random enemies…”
“I got this game for $2.99 I do not recommend it for anything MORE than that price. It's got this weird jitter, runs at around 120fps at medium on my rig but has strange stutters. AI is super incompetent, will randomly…”
“Need patience to play this game.”

“One of the better sniper focused games out there, Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts delivers a more refined and mission based take on the series. The visuals are solid, and while the maps aren’t fully open world like earlier entries, they’re still large, detailed sandboxes packed…”
— a player, Steam review · 91 hrs played“[h1] A good casual sniper game [/h1] [b] Overall [/b] : 7/10 Sniper contracts is a nice, relaxing sniping game. Nothing fancy, nothing innovative. It improves on previous installments, giving a lot of freedom on how to tackle the contracts. Super easy, fun but definetely…”
— a player, Steam review · 26 hrs played“Quite a substantial downgrade to the previous game. You can't get as creative with the kills as you could in 3, there are way too many enemies on each map so the best strategy is to be stealthy and eliminate only those that you absolutely must in order to not alert anyone or…”
