Game is full of Hackers with no way of getting them banned

Unfortunately, Sniper Ghost Warrior 3 fails to deliver on its promising concept. While the game offers an open-world sniper experience with tactical gameplay on the surface, it’s plagued by numerous issues that make it difficult to recommend. Here’s why this game fell short for me:

1. Technical Problems and Optimization
The biggest issue with this game is undoubtedly its technical performance. Even on modern systems, the game:

Suffers from insanely long loading times (close to 10 minutes in some cases).
Experiences frequent FPS drops, especially in open-world areas.
Is riddled with bugs and crashes that break immersion. It’s not uncommon to get stuck in the environment or encounter missions that simply don’t complete.
For a game released in 2017, these kinds of issues are inexcusable.

2. Boring and Empty Open World
The “open-world” aspect of the game feels like a wasted opportunity. While the map is large, it is painfully empty and uninspiring. Between missions, there’s very little to keep you engaged:

Side missions are repetitive and lack variety.
The open world feels like filler, with none of the richness or intrigue you’d find in games like the Far Cry series.
Rather than enhancing the experience, the open-world design drags down the pacing and makes the game feel bloated.

3. Weak Story and Characters
The narrative in Sniper Ghost Warrior 3 does nothing to elevate the experience. The story and its characters:

Are filled with clichéd dialogue that fails to leave any emotional impact.
Struggle to create any sense of urgency or attachment.
The "personal revenge" theme lacks depth, and the story feels like an afterthought rather than a driving force for the gameplay.

4. Lack of Tactical Depth
For a sniper game, you’d expect:

Strategic depth,
Advanced enemy AI,
And mission designs that reward careful planning.
Instead, what you get is shallow gameplay:

Enemy AI is incredibly dumb. They often fail to notice you or react unrealistically by charging directly at you.
Stealth mechanics feel unnecessary because enemies are so blind that you can easily bypass them.
Missions rarely require real strategy; they are straightforward and repetitive.
Rather than feeling like a tactical sniper game, it plays more like a generic action shooter.

5. Repetitive Mission Design
The mission variety is disappointing:

"Go to this location and kill someone."
"Infiltrate this area and steal intel."
"Take out a few enemies silently."
The lack of creativity in mission objectives becomes painfully obvious early on. There’s little incentive to keep playing once you realize you’ll be doing the same thing over and over again.

6. Microtransactions and Missing Content
Seeing microtransactions in a single-player game is frustrating. Some weapons and gear feel almost locked behind a paywall, pushing players toward spending extra money for better equipment. This monetization approach severely undercuts the experience.

Conclusion: Wasted Potential
Sniper Ghost Warrior 3 had the potential to be an incredible game, but it squanders that potential with technical problems, an empty open world, weak storytelling, and repetitive gameplay. For those looking for a realistic tactical sniper experience, this game is a major disappointment.

If you want a great sniper game, I recommend skipping this and trying alternatives like the Sniper Elite series instead.

Score: 4/10
Not worth your time or money.

I'm really torn whether to recommend this game. In short, if it's on offer at £1.59 (Reduced from £15.99), I recommend getting it.

It's a decent game with an atrocious auto-save system that only seems to safe after completing objectives. If you spend 15-20 minutes exploring and trying to climb to an extreme point, you have to start over again if you die.

The graphics are decent with good sniper game play, but the AI are quite dumb. Good auto crafting system as-well.

Just finished the game.it's awesome experience& i recommend to play.

Finally got around to playing this. It's not horrible but it's not great either. Lots of bugs, constantly getting stuck, and overall, just disappointed. I think Contracts 1 and 2 are just better. Dont think im gonna bother to finish this one as it just grows to be a slog. Sucks, i wanted to like it.

COOL but i would recommend to buy while on-sale :)

good game
