There’s some “banter” between Control and Raven, which breaks up the monotony of being a solo operator on a mission of stealth. He sounds a bit like Sean Bean, steering you along the way to your target or side-mission objective. You have a supporting voice in your ear known only as Control. Not as literal as the deck of cards mechanic, but players will progressively make their way up through the value of their targets. Much like Pandemic’s first Mercenaries game, there’s a structure to taking these criminals out. You play as Raven, a contracted assassin who’s a dab hand at perforating brain-cases from a very long ways off. Amongst this conflict is a cabal of string-pullers and high-value syndicated criminals. There’s a conflict along the border of Lebanon and Syria. More that it’s just a standard covert, Tom-Clancy-on-a-budget story. It’s not a negative in that it’s “the worst story ever”, so don’t get riled up. Rather uncharacteristically, I’m going to get one of the negatives out of the way first: the story. Does it iron out the wrinkles, or is it too much of a long shot to ask for greatness? Gear up, let’s go hunting for a summary. But far from shying away, CI Games took another look and have returned with Contracts 2. It had its moments, but wasn’t groundbreaking. So, back to the briefing board, and Contracts was the rebirth in 2019. And whilst the first two were okay-ish, the third (as always) was just a mess. Starting at the somewhat middling Sniper: Art of Victory in 2008, it turned into modern counterpart Ghost Warrior a year later.

Not just in stalking targets from afar, but in terms of series brevity and reinvention. Sniper: Ghost Warrior Contracts 2 is one of those games that proves that time can be a good thing.
