Sniper Ghost Warrior 3

By taking a more sneaky, serious approach to the modern military shooter, this game distinguishes itself, but it's difficulty isn't for everyone. In Sniper Ghost Warrior 3, you play as a modern-day sniper trying to avert a war. Running around large hilly areas, you engage in a series of covert missions that include assassinations and sabotage. Most of these are best done from afar, since your enemies are smart and you're prone to injury. This is why it's good that you're not only skilled with a sniper rifle but also know a lot of the same tricks as the heroes of other stealth games, like how to hide in dumpsters or use rocks to distract your enemies.

The thing is, not everyone will appreciate this game's unforgiving nature, especially since it extends to how your equipment wears out over time; you have to manually reload weapons; and you even have to hit a button when you get to the bottom of a ladder and want to dismount. It also doesn't help that the game is plagued with long load times, not enough checkpoints, some irritating bugs, and menus that are difficult to read if you sit at a reasonable distance from your television. But for those who appreciate a challenge, Sniper Ghost Warrior 3 actually ends up being a sneaky good shooter.
