In-game, fast forward 15 years and you have GI Joe #2 that has miraculously not aged while GI Joe #1 has seemingly caught up in physique, if not maturity, and both are a part of the same special forces unit (suspension of belief is required to not laugh this game into the bargain bin…). It is not only super hokey, but incredibly uncomfortable to watch. Take the intro video for example, it starts with GI Joe inspired protagonist number 1 as a child working on learning how to shoot when the older, more mature GI Joe inspired protagonist number 2 comes wandering into the scene. While the environments are quite stunning, the uncanny valley is so incredibly disarming that the cutscenes are actually hard to watch. It is only a pity that the Sniper’s open-world aspects did not really pan out all that well, as they tend to detract away from what Sniper is truly good at, and that is sniping. While I would not go as far as to say that Sniper: GW3 is as stunning as Horizon, it DOES evoke similar feelings of grandeur that Witcher 3 did. While playing it I kept stopping and just taking in the views and then it hit me … the only other games that I have played in recent memory that made me do that are Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt and Horizon: Zero Dawn. To start, Sniper: Ghost Warrior 3 is without a doubt one of the nicest looking games on Xbox One. Half-hearted open world shenanigans aside, Sniper: Ghost Warrior 3 an excellent tactical sniping title set in a beautiful world that tends to get in the way of itself. Though enjoyable, the open-world aspects of Ghost Warrior 3 do tend to pull away a bit from what it is that it does best, and that is sniper rifle-filled tomfoolery. From the developers of the criminally under-appreciated Lords of the Fallen, Sniper: Ghost Warrior 3 takes the previously-linear tactical snipe-fest and opens the franchise up. While the Sniper: Ghost Warrior games are in no need of an introduction, I myself am new to the Ghost Warrior line of Sniper titles and was a bit unsure of what to expect when going into CI Games’ Sniper: Ghost Warrior 3.
