The value story

November 2019 is where it bottomed out, at $1.03. 46 discounts in the 13 years on record, a median of 80 percent off across all of them, roughly 4 weeks apart.

It is cheaper than 62 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 89 percent. Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2 ($9.99, scores 42) outscores it, and so does Sniper Ghost Warrior 3 ($19.99, scores 18). Both sit among its closest neighbours.

It is fun, but it is OLD and it feels like it. There are way too many sections where the cluncjy controls, and not very polished mechanics become very frustrating. Also for a game called SNIPER, you spend more than half of the time not being able to fight as a SNIPER would.
