Sniper: Ghost Warrior 3 is a game that we now know discreetly: CI games has decided to catapult its brand into the open world ocean, trying to find somehow its uniqueness
, also thanks to the caching art that some time is now gathering around her a good slice of passionate users. So we flew to Germany, Koch Media hosts, to test the umpteenth build of the game that, in addition to approaching its final version, allowed us to take a closer look at certain dynamics.
