✅ Positive Features : 1-The game offers a strong focus on authentic sniper experiences, including bullet drop, wind direction, breathing control, and distance calculation. It’s satisfying for fans of precision shooting. 2-Each mission takes place in a semi-open world map, allowing players to approach objectives from multiple angles. You can plan your route, use vantage points, and choose your method—stealth or aggression. 3-Missions have optional challenges, collectibles, encouraging players to replay contracts and improve their performance. 4-The AR Mask high-tech helmet with augmented reality features, helping the player gather intelligence and navigate the environment more effectively . like Enemy Detection , Object Scanning , Tagging System , Environmental Analysis & Displays information like bullet trajectory predictions, distances to targets, and wind direction when sniping (when upgraded). 5-The game includes various high-tech tools and gadgets, like drone, remotely-controlled snipe turret , Decoy Trap , Warning Device , grenades and mines 6-the Interrogate System allows players to gather valuable information from enemy soldiers during missions 7-The Bounty System optional high-value targets that players can eliminate for bonus rewards. 8-Completing contracts earns money and tokens that can be used to unlock new weapons, customize gear, and upgrade your character’s abilities. ❌ Negative Features : 1-Weak and Uninspired Story 2-Enemy AI sometimes overly alert and other times completely unaware. 3-The stealth system is serviceable but not as refined or flexible as in other stealth-based games like Hitman or Metal Gear Solid. 4-useless tools like C4 & Mines 5-Many contracts follow similar patterns, reducing variety 6-Multiplayer is currently disabled and cannot be accessed or reactivated. Differences Between SGWC1 and Earlier games in the Series: 1-Gameplay : SGWC1 uses a mission-based structure with semi-open sandbox maps. Each mission (called a "contract") is set in a separate, detailed area. Earlier games (like Sniper Ghost Warrior 3) featured a fully open world, but were criticized for being too empty or buggy. 2-Stealth and Strategy: SGWC1 focuses more heavily on stealth, careful planning, and tactical decision-making. Previous titles were more linear or tried to mix open-world elements with traditional shooter gameplay. 3-Customization and Tools: SGWC1 introduced more customizable gear like masks with special abilities, drones, and advanced gadgets. Earlier games had more limited equipment and fewer strategic tools. 4-Map Design: The levels in SGWC1 are dense, replayable, and encourage exploration. Earlier entries often had more linear paths or less detailed open worlds.

I do recommend this game as it scratches a fantastic sniping itch that the likes of Sniper Elite have made famous. To my mind, the game excels in two key areas: 1) The sniping is fantastic; there is a little skill involved with the wind gauge but it isn't hard to master yet it feels great right up to the last shot. 2) The level design is intricate enough to allow multiple paths to your objective so it makes you feel more like a smart assassin, planning the kill, rather than a linear assassin (doing what the game tells you). There were one or two bugs in my play-through but nothing extreme and certainly nothing that took me out of the experience. Lastly, I would counter some of the "angry" reviews that comment on how poor the AI is and that it "immediately knows where you are when you shoot". That is simply not the case. The enemies have three states of existence: passive, alerted, hunting. Passive is the default state where they will wander around "guarding". Now, if you take an enemy out from range but someone sees them die or discovers the body, the enemy will become alerted and they will all run for cover. In this state, they get out binoculars and intermittently peak over their cover to try to locate you. If you can kill them all without being spotted, they will simply never shoot you and if you are placed well, you can wipe them all out whilst they are alerted. Now, if you are spotted (by binoculars or, more likely, enemy snipers) then they will all converge on your position to try and kill you. The armoured enemies will start shooting in your general direction and whilst it might feel that they have godly aim, they don't and you can easily reposition. This is where I would then actively turn to defence to praise because, if you reposition, the enemy will converge on the spot they last knew you to be in and you can effectively give them the slip and start shooting from another location. All in all, if you set up well, know your routes of retreat and advance, and fully scan the target zone then you'll have a blast in this game and feel like a god-tier sniper.

I enjoy FPS games with an element of stealth, so I really wanted to like this game. Sadly, after 8 hours and 3 missions, I uninstalled the game. I wish I could get a refund, but apparently there is a 2-gameplay-hour limit. I had hoped that, if I just finished the first mission, it would get better...but it didn't. First, some things I did like: -The gunplay is good. The shooting mechanics are fun, and reward practice. -There are multiple ways to approach objectives. -The story and its role in the objectives is interesting. -Pretty graphics. Detailed character models. -Detailed NPC dialogue. What I didn't like: -Omniscient enemies. If you shoot someone with a suppressor from 400 m. away, and someone sees them die, they immediately know where you are. -Enemies have godlike aim. That enemy 400 m. away can shoot you reliably with his AK-47. -Gadgets are useless, because they aren't nearly as lethal or effective as you would think, and trying to use them will immediately alert all the enemies, who will then proceed to murder you. -No matter how well you plan and sneak, the first time you miss a shot, the entire mission devolves into a machine gun brawl. -All the side objectives are tedious and boring. There is no good reason for them to exist. -If you don't want to get caught, you have to spend the ENTIRE mission sneaking around, at half speed, across large maps. I like large maps, but in this game, they just make every mission tedious. -On some missions, you start surrounded by about a dozen enemies between 10m and 300m away from you, and the second you kill one, they all start shooting, with the aforementioned omniscience and accuracy. I'm sorry to say that this game just isn't fun. Don't buy it.

Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts strips away the open-world bloat of its predecessors and delivers a more focused, tactical sniping experience. The maps are large and offer multiple ways to complete objectives, encouraging strategic planning and stealth. The sniping mechanics feel great, with realistic bullet drop and wind adjustments, making long-range shots incredibly satisfying. While the AI can be inconsistent and the story is forgettable, the core gameplay is strong, making this a great buy for fans of tactical shooters—especially on sale.
