One of SGW3's big strengths is its shooting mechanics. The chatter that civilians and enemies carried on was above average, but adequate for gaming standards today. The sound effects were well done with the weapons, vehicles, and weather effects sounding very good. The colors of the whole world really shown through with HDR10 and the lighting was well done. On my PlayStation Pro, the game utilized High Dynamic Resolution 10 (HDR10) brilliantly. I really enjoyed the look of the entire world. SGW3 has some top notch graphics and sound effects. Not suitable for children or young teens to play or watch. Some sexual themes and drug used throughout the game. Moral Warnings: Strong Language through out. Serious stability issues that cause the game to crash. Occasional enemy pop in and out at long distances. Weak Points: Long loading times at the start or continuation of a campaign. Strong Points: Excellent shooting mechanics, deep crafting and customization large open world map to explore, and a solid engaging story.
Along the way Jon discovers that the mission he is on is one that can affect the whole world (in a bad way) if not successfully completed. Jon is helped by Lydia, a former Sniper and love interest. Jon is set up in a secret small base of operations where he can rest, craft items, and plan his missions to kill the Separatist Cells (the group who captured Robert) who are destabilizing the country. Jon believes that his brother is still alive and being held somewhere in Georgia, and that is why he volunteered to go on this mission to kill the group that captured his younger brother and rescue him. In Sniper Ghost Warrior 3 (SGW3) you play Marine Captain Jonathan "Jon" North who is sent to the country of Georgia to rescue his brother, Robert North, who was kidnapped and taken by a unknown special ops unit lead by a mysterious leader 2 years before in a mission the brothers were on along the Russian Ukrainian border.
CI Games has now upped the ante and brought what fans of the series have been asking for, and that is a fully open world for gamers to explore. This series has been pretty popular worldwide with the first two games selling over 5.5 million copies. Sniper Ghost Warrior 3 is the third (as the name implies) in a series developed and published by City Interactive (CI Games as they call themselves now). Myself, I love the slower paced shooter games, known as tactical shooters. Some gamers love the slower and strategic style, while others love the Fast-paced twitch style of shooters like Call of Duty, Halo, and SOCOM. The Sniper style of games is a very niche market of video games. Sniper Ghost Warrior is one of two current Sniper series out right now, the other being the Sniper Elite series developed and published by Rebellion.
