The Ghost Warrior series really hit its stride with the Contracts games, and 2 continues the momentum. Very immersive and satisfying sniping/stealth title focused on taking down high-priority targets in a variety of settings and locales.

You have side objectives along with your main targets that can all be approached in your own way. Don't expect Hitman levels of sandbox here, but there's still plenty of play styles and kills catered for if you wish to go down that route.

Decent gear variety, along with a number of gadgets and attachments, means you can play through multiple levels on different difficulty levels and still get something out of this. Fingers crossed for contracts 3!

The game can sometimes really annoy you, there are a few bugs especially with the enemy noticing shots sometimes and not noticing other times, and bullet trajectories being a little screwy on the lower difficulty settings. Learn the mechanics and go for the Veteran Sniper difficulty as it eliminates the Red Dot Aim Helper, which isn't very helpful at all beyond your initial learning curve of the mechanics. Also, be prepared to reload an save like 20-1,000 times during a run through. However, once you get past all that, learn to take the game slowly, and adjust for it's flaws, it is a very enjoyable sniper game with lots of opportunities to get you snipe on. Think low-end version of the sniper missions in Hitman.

Like most sniper games, maps are very liniar and feel like you just have one fixed path to take, sniping is the same as every other sniper focused game, weapons feel very "meh" pistols are ...well....pistols.....secondary weapons have your generic AR and two AKs, 2 submachine guns and one shotgun.....with the only one that's fun to play with being the bow......sniper rifles are very similar and generic...there are two large caliber rifles both of which are pretty much the same apart from one being semi auto and the other being bolt action...then you have like 4 or 5 generic medium caliber rifles that are all pretty much the same and one semi auto VSS rifle that...well....exists.....in other words, weapons are generic and not very intresting or satisfying to use, not to mention their animations look terrible. Movement feels very buggy and like every other game with a parcour system IT SUCKS! and for some reason you can only climb walls with scratches on them .....so no I don't recommend this game. honestly the Sniper elite series or Ghost recon games are much better games and more worth playing, Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 2 feels very mediocre and even low budget in comparison to those games
