The next I’m moving in with a silenced pistol trying not to get seen on the way to my objective with a remote control turret watching my back. One minute I’m set up on a cliff scouting the enemy base for potential entry points and taking down the harsh enemy snipers.
I generally tried to get as much done as I possibly could in a single run of a mission. It’s in smart level and mission design where Contracts truly excels. Setting yourself up on a cliff almost 500 meters from your goal is by far the coolest thing you can do, actually, although the game will eventually force you to move in to the targets location to complete the optional contracts. Yes, you can go guns blazing if that’s what you prefer, but that’s the least interesting approach and the automatic rifles aren’t that fun to use. While satisfying, it comes nowhere close to the excellent x-ray cams of the Sniper Elite series.Ĭontracts let you complete the objective in your own way. If you are using a high powered sniper rifle this will often end with body parts being torn off. When you pull off a nice shot you will be treated with a bullet cam that will show your bullet flying through the air in slow motion before it reaches its target. When setting up for a shot, you need to take into account bullet drop and wind. All of this takes us to a total of 25 contracts with a rough completion time of 10 hours and plenty of potential replay value within the sandbox itself.īeing a sniper game you would hope for the sniping mechanics to be excellent, and thankfully in here, it really is. Within each of these maps are five more contracts to complete, a set of objectives that you can complete in any order that can impact the rest in that area. There are five locations to visit, each one having their own distinctive look and feel. It gives the game a much more focused, streamlined approach that is much more welcome than just another open world title. While Ghost Warrior 3 was set in a huge open world, Contracts takes a step back and gives us multiple large, open, but still linear, areas that are generally brilliantly designed. However, Contracts takes a new approach and hopefully going forward, is what Sniper Ghost Warrior strives to be. The Sniper Ghost Warrior series has always struggled to find its footing over the years, being a series that has always been unsure of what it wanted to be, with the last one being a Far Cry clone of sorts that didn’t quite hit the heights of that series.
