If you can beat the game without the guidance dot, good for you. Easy mode is there for a reason and it turned what started out as a sour experience into a great one. I tried to do it the proper way, but I failed miserably and I wasn’t having much fun. Or, you can knock the difficulty down and have a little guidance dot tell you where you should position your scope. You need to be aware of the wind, the distance, and the bullet drop over time and space. There are a whole bunch of bad guys who need taking down, and they just so happen to be very, very far away, making a successful shot difficult to pull off and impressive when done right. Sniper Ghost Warrior Contract 2’s USP is in its sniping. They’re as bog-standard as they come but the fun comes in getting to the task, not completing it. The game is split into regions and each one has various targets to kill and objectives to fulfil, like disabling a number of radars, helping a prisoner escape, or retrieving something of value. It’s inconsistent and I’d have preferred if they went all-in, like Sniper Elite, but instead, it feels like the gore is a bit showy and more for shock factor than anything else. You sniper a guy in the leg, arm, or chest, he shakes it off and carries on running toward you. You snipe a guy in the face, his whole head tears apart like jelly being attacked by a child. The gore is excessive but realistic, but only up to a point. Mostly, it’s a sneaky stealth game where you’ll infiltrate enemy outposts, silencing guards and putting other snipers to their final sleep with a well-placed bullet between the eyes. Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 2 is not your Call of Duty-style shooter, though you can go down that route if you want, and sometimes the game does force big firefights upon you.
And that’s fine because the gameplay is what we’re all here for. It serves just one purpose, and that’s to push you from A to B, one target to another, one location to the next. The other half was that the story was just a bit rubbish with a few remarks during play and a quick (and thankfully skippable) into dossier splash screen between missions. I appreciate the effort, mind you, but I couldn’t get a good grasp of the story, and the character dialogue was half the problem. The dialogue was horribly forced and steeped in the kind of edgy cringe that the rest of us left behind in the mid-2000s. He’s a bit of a dick, basically, and I didn’t like him one bit, nor did I like any of the game’s writing. You take on the role of Raven, a master sniper with all the charm of Hayden Christensen’s Anakin Skywalker and the moody dialogue of your local 15-year old Kyle. Tasked with a seemingly impossible task, your mission is to topple an insidious criminal syndicate and bring them to justice.Availability: PSN, Retail – Buy on Amazon
