What it is
Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2 is a first-person tactical shooter built around sniper play. Players account for wind, distance, gravity and bullet drop when lining up shots, while breathing control and a steady trigger pull also affect accuracy. The game includes a rebuilt AI system and environments made with CryENGINE3. Its listed features include single-player and multiplayer, along with Steam Achievements, full controller support, Steam Leaderboards and Family Sharing. Developed by CI Games S.A. and published by CI Games, it was released in 2013. The listed platforms include Windows and PlayStation 3, while the Steam platform listing specifies Windows. Its Steam age rating is 17. The central appeal is precision shooting: finding a target and taking a measured shot, with the risk that a miss can alert enemies. This makes it a shooter with a more deliberate, tactical emphasis than a broad run-and-gun focus.
