![]() ![]() One extremely annoying glitch in Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts saw the complete disappearance of an objective item inside the game's first level, making the final mission impossible to complete. ![]() Level load-in issues persist throughout the title, with each new area's opening cutscenes (all unskippable no matter how many they've been viewed) sometimes ending by dropping the player inside the level geometry, forcing a restart.

Death, which will come frequently to players who still think this game is about running and gunning, is handled in a similar checkpoint-like fashion and has deceased players popping back up outside of the area they died in with unlimited chances to try again. Dropping into a mission for the first time can be quite an overwhelming experience, especially considering both the size of the map and the litany of tasks Seeker is assigned with completing, but the game thankfully utilizes a segmented checkpoint-based system which sees most areas being broken up into relatively easy-to-manage chunks. There are a few issues which keep Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts from being all it could be, but it's hard not to enjoy the objective-focused gameplay of the title in an arcade-like sense.

In Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts players take on the role of the Seeker, a Hitman-style assassin specializing in sniping. ![]()
