$1 For This Shooter Trilogy On Steam--Today Only
For one day only--ending October 23 and available in limited supply--you can get the Sniper: Ghost Warrior Trilogy from Fanatical for just $1. That's three games for a buck, or $0.33 each. Not a bad deal if you're interested in dipping your trigger finger into this series of PC shooters. Once you make your purchase, you'll instantly get a code you can redeem on Steam.
Released between 2010 and 2017, the Sniper: Ghost Warrior trilogy was developed and published by the Polish game maker City Interactive (which also made Lords of the Fallen). The trilogy puts you behind the scope of a sniper rifle and has you take out enemy soldiers across a variety of missions. When you make your kills, the game slows down and zooms in to display a close-up view of the splattering gore. If you turn up the difficulty level, you'll also have to take into consideration real-life sniper considerations like wind speed and direction, your breath and heartbeat, and gravity's pull on the bullet.
Over the years, our reviewers scored these games in the 5-7 range. The first installment got dinged for having odd bullet physics and bad enemy AI, though the online multiplayer mode fared better than the campaign. Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2 improved upon the original in nearly every way, with only a handful of minor problems keeping it from a wholehearted recommendation.
Last year's third entry made the move to an open-world environment and offered up three play styles: sniper (with a focus on long-range kills), ghost (emphasizing stealth), and warrior (taking an aggressive approach). From our Sniper: Ghost Warrior 3 review: "Sniping is all about being cautious and taking a measured approach, and you're rewarded for your patience with some immensely satisfying killshots. For first-person shooters, it offers a unique approach that sets Ghost Warrior 3 apart from its histrionic contemporaries."
If this sounds like a series you want to try, make sure to head over to Fanatical and grab it before it's gone.
