When I got detected, the game quickly punished me, having all enemies converge on my location to gun me down.
I had to wait for the right moment during a patrol to pick someone off to avoid detection, and move quietly and methodically to infiltrate and take people out with my silenced pistol or throwing knives. It felt extremely rewarding to plan out a course of action and act it out flawlessly. Through the use of this drone I could find all or most of the enemies and pick the best place to take them out from.
I found myself using the drone as often as I could, it had a battery which depleted after using it so much, but recharged over time. Through the use of the drone you can spot enemies, high value targets, weapon emplacements, materials or loot, and even potentially lucrative sniping positions. The drone is compact and easily maneuvered through enemy camps, but can be spotted and shot down if the player is not careful. The game promoted this premeditated playstyle through the use of a versatile drone that you can deploy to scope out any area you choose. Where Far Cry allows you to sprint from spot to spot guns blazing, Sniper Ghost Warrior 3 wants you to plan out every motion you choose to make. The combat is unforgiving and requires thought-out actions. While the game felt like Far Cry in this sense, it is far more realistic than any game in that series. The presence of outposts and the way you move through the environment felt a lot like Far Cry, giving you a truck to drive around freely and multiple vantage points to approach an area from. While the preview only had two real missions, and a few random outposts spread out on the map that you could approach and take over for loot, materials and experience, the map felt open and explorable. At the end of each mission you gain experience for each tree separately, so if you sniped more, you gain more experience for that than the other two trees. Sniping someone from a long distance garnered more than up close, and additional experience would be gained for going in guns blazing or stealthily eliminating people one by one. Skill points are achieved through how you approach situations, giving you experience based on each facet of play, meaning that you gain points for a tree by playing in that style. Each tree led to different craftable items and ammo types, forcing you to make decisions when leveling based on necessity and desire of play. Whereas Ghost focuses on stealth and getting in and out of an area undetected. Sniper focused on allowing you to hold breath longer while aiming at your enemy and how your rifle would perform. The Warrior tree seemed to focus on how much damage you could take and how much ammunition you could. MonsterVine was provided a copy for preview purposesĮach combat approach has its own skill tree, that you can choose to level up as you see fit based on how you want to play. As the title suggests, you can be a sniper, a ghost, and a warrior in any capacity you desire to complete your mission. Sniper Ghost Warrior is a beautifully complex game that gives you the freedom to approach any given situation the way that you truly desire.
