BY JASON MONROE: I get it - being a sniper is hard. Most games, even blockbuster hits like Destiny and Call of Duty, strip down the complexity of using a sniper rifle to make it more approachable for players. Few titles dare to stray more into the world of simulation, but the Sniper Elite and Sniper Ghost Warrior series take this less-beaten path.
Sadly, Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts represents a massive step backwards which, when combined with the over-complicated approach to sniping, results in a frustrating mess.
Precisely picking off your targets from a great distance while they never suspect a thing feels extremely satisfying and fun in games that execute the sniper concept well. Here are five such sniping games that are insanely satisfying.
