The verdict
A janky Far Cry-style open-world sniper game with satisfying sniping and cheap sale prices. Skip it if you want true long-range sniping or a polished, bug-free game.
Great for
Players who like Far Cry-style open worlds with stealth and sniping and can tolerate jank at a low price
Main risk
Bugs, lost saves and enemy despawning undermine the sniping and can ruin progress
