Frankly, it’s hard to explain exactly why and how sniper games have managed to withstand the test of time. Maybe it’s just the sheer absurdity of it.
As far as such franchises go, Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 2 is certainly one of the more prominent iterations you can find on the market, both in terms of quality and authenticity.
Although the presentation and the aesthetics of Contracts 2 are definitely worth applauding, the game is held back by the same fundamental flaw that plagues many other shooter titles - repetitiveness. To be more specific, the game does start off pretty strong - you have a somewhat believable narrative and the initial sniping experience is engaging, but that appeal quickly plateaus the further you progress, and by the end of it (assuming you make it there), no amount of fancy scenery is going to stave off the boredom of “point, shoot and repeat”.
