The verdict
A Hitman-style sniper sandbox with satisfying ballistics and big maps, but short and janky, with checkpoint-only saves and erratic AI. Skip it if lost progress infuriates you.
Great for
Patient stealth-sniper fans who enjoy planning shots and replaying sandbox missions, ideally bought on deep sale
Main risk
No manual saves: dying sends you far back, and bugs, getting stuck and erratic AI add to the frustration
What players love
Satisfying sniping ballistics
Mentioned in ~1 in 7 positive reviews
