Sniper Elite
DIsclaimer: This is gonna be a fairly long review, so anyone who’s not interested in reading a wall of text can just skip it
Another game I got into fairly recently because I thought the premise of being a sniper and having realistic ballistics in a game would be an interesting twist in comparison with most games I’ve played in my life. Now, I’ve put 44 hours so far into this game and I’ve seen all of its good and bad sides. I will recommend it, but I’m also gonna mention some fatal flaws that are plaguing this game.

i completed sniper elite 1 after playing other games in the series, and lets just say, it was definitely a product of its time.
graphics were super dated and the map design was weirdly open, but the bullet physics and kill cams were amazing for a game that old, and i think thats why the franchise took off.
Sniper elite v2 is technically a reboot of sniper elite 1, in the same way that red dead redemption is a reboot of red dead revolver. in sniper elite 1, the main character karl looks a lot younger, wears an army cap and a camo outfit, and is never actually referred to as karl, everyone just calls him “Eagle Watch”. he doesnt have his raspy deep voice like in all the other games. instead, he sounds like he’s only 20 years old and he’s really soft spoken.

Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2
I would give this game something between a thumbs up and a thumbs down because I do like some aspects of the game. However, they force me to make a black & white choice and I choose “No Way”. The graphics are pretty good, the basic gameplay is OK but there are a lot of issues:
1. There are places on the maps you can get stuck and not be able to get out of AND you cannot kill yourself to continue playing the game! You have to leave the game altogether and rejoin (if you can).
2. There is no way to kick or ban a player on your own server DURING the game …you have to wait for the game to be over! This is the ONLY thing you can do to protect yourself and it isn’t even in-the-moment or real-time!

Alright, I’m here to answer some questions you may thinking to yourself.
Is it worth buying it?
Is this game fun?
Beaware of some of it might be spoiler alert.
Personally so far I think this is the best game CI Games have produced. As a sniper-enthusiast I look for pros and cons with this game. I have already in advance completed this game on the Xbox 360 a long time ago, and to be honest I felt more connected into the game, and more sort a say “Alive” on the PC version. Here are some reasons why.

Sniper Fury
“Sniper Fury” is a f2p time killer, posing as a sniper shooting game. In reality, there is no skill applied, but the patience to grind for another, more powerful rifle, to click your enemies out of the picture faster. More to it, the most significant elements of gameplay there -are energy bars. Yeah, exactly those notorious “stamina” things from browser games, which should instantly give any purposeful PC player a headache. Well, on top of things, there are mandatory bullet cam effects and big explosions every now and then. And the grinding process, where you build up your armory and unlocking yet another stupid “story level”.

It says the game is Free to play, I would rather say Free to download or Pay to play. Nevertheless it’s still possible to play for free and gain some progress, but slower then when you pay. It’s all about buying and spending rubies to progress, if not, you will have to wait an amount of time to pass a weapon or a squad upgrade for example. Basically everything you do require you to spend rubies in order to gain progress. And if you think you are going to play a sniper game, you will get surprised and very disappointed as I did. This game has nothing to do with sniping at all. You find yourself holding a sniper rifle or a machine gun, you won’t be able to move, all you can do is look, aim and zoom and that’s basically it. And even PvP matches are not with actual players but bots, very disappointing. Sniper Fury is more like a gambling game, so if you want to gamble your money and life away get it, either then that I would never play this game myself for one second.

Winter Fury: The Longest Road
Just tried out the sniper rifle on 2nd level. Very cool mechanic. I would like a mission like the movie “Enemy At The Gates” where you would need to take out an elite German sniper using only your sniper rifle. Wide variety of historical weapons to try out. I found myself doing a lot of the dirty work with my Thompson? machine gun. If you are one of those people with a strong dislike of Nazis this game should be a good fit. Recommend.

I normally dont like arcade shooters, but this game is awesome!
Except the sniper rifle. Why the hell does the sniper scope work like in Fallout 4, when you have a working scope system on the 3D model itself? I tried to hold the rifle away enough to be able to snipe with the rifles 3D model scope and I just couldnt shoot anything because the scope was way too far from my face. Please, PLEASE make it at least a setting to allow people to disable the horrible Fallout 4 scope!
