While you take out patrols, scouts or your intended contract targets, the developers don’t make your enemies faceless victims because they actually banter amongst themselves that as a result makes the kill more potent in that you are taking a life.Īt its core, SGWC2 is a realistic sniper game so those adverse to gore, might want to divert to something a little less violent (maybe Super Mario), particularly with the kill-cam which can be quite grusome, however gore can be disabled. If you’re a little green to this genre, you can adjust the difficulty and one of the most valuable assets in your loadout are your binoculars that allows you to observe and tag your enemies. More importantly, you do need to use stealth to succeed in SGWC2 because if you go with guns blazing, this always ends in pain. Like other realistic shooters, you get to customise your loadout such as different sniper rifles or side weapons as not all killing is about taking out your enemies like Bradley Cooper from American Sniper. With around 20 contracts to “terminate”, a variety of areas to explore, SGWC2 is not only a challenging experience but also an engaging one. In Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 2 (SGWC2), players are transformed into “Raven”, an elite contract sniper assassin whose next job is based in the Middle East where he is tasked to help bring down a powerful syndicate who are threatening to destabilize the pillars of western society. Featuring a dramatic single-player campaign set in modern day Middle East, experience high-pressure tactical combat, deep inside enemy territory.
Sniper ghost warrior contracts review series#
Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 2 launches June 4 on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 2 marks the most challenging entry to the acclaimed series yet, introducing extreme long-range sniping with targets over 1000m away. CI Games promised this one will utilize new consoles’ capabilities and loading times to deliver “the best looking Sniper Ghost Warrior game thus far.” So those NPCs’ temporal, parietal, and occipital bones will scatter in 4K resolution as well as a fine red mist.

The game’s replayable-mission structure follows 2019’s Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts, which pulled back from the open-world ambitions of the poorly received Sniper Ghost Warrior 3 of 2017.

Players will plan their kills on five different sandbox maps, and will face “more intelligent adversaries with improved tactics.”

Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 2 is set in “modern day Middle East,” though from the gadgets available and the evil-Quarian getup the player character is wearing, I’d say near-future is also an applicable term. A news release from CI Games touts “extreme-range sniping of targets over 1,000 meters away,” but there’s plenty more traditional gunplay and melee attacking, as the user makes their way to the perfect perch for the level’s climactic shot. I’m gonna offer a content warning, for blood, brain tissue, and numerous skullcaps flying like frisbees.
