Geometric Sniper

Неплохой минималистичный симулятор снайпера, где нужно устранять цели - всяческих убийц и террористов, высматривая их на небольшом клочке карты. По сути это игра на внимательность. Можно увеличивать и уменьшать масштаб и задерживать дыхание для короткого повышения точности. В режиме истории 12 миссий будут чередоваться с воспоминаниями и рассуждениями снайпера. Игра как будто не завершена, но таков уж стиль и видение автора. Есть доп. режимы - найти те или иные предметы так же через прицел. После обычного прохождения открывается элитный режим - всё то же самое, но задержка дыхания и масштаб не работают.

[b]Difficult Achievement(s):[/b] No. [h1]Intro[/h1] [i]Geometric Sniper[/i] is a hidden object game where you play as a sniper in a geometric world. It has several modes, although the main mode requires you to kill a target with your sniper rifle within the time limit.

Instead of finding a lot of objects on the screen, the main mode in this game requires you to kill a target (or more, depending on the mission) within a time limit. You are given a certain number of bullets to hit your target, and just like any sniper rifle, your aim is unsteady. You must kill your target in this condition, sometimes while your target is moving around. You can see your target at the beginning of the mission. There is a mission briefing that contains a file and the description of who you need to kill before starting the mission. It's not always kill the person on the screen, though. Sometimes it gives a unique mission where you either need to protect the person in the picture or kill more than one target that is related to the person in the picture. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3372239973 Your target hides well. Sometimes, they will hide behind a window; sometimes they will only be shown at a certain time in a certain spot. It might be hard to pinpoint their exact location whenever they do this, especially since there are a lot of areas to cover. Since you need to finish the level within a certain time, you might run out of time before you find them and have to redo the level all over again. The target's location is randomized in every playthrough. Since each level is timed, this helps to reduce the repetitiveness, although you still won't be able to finish the level if you don't know what you need to do. One level is quite tricky, though. I was tasked with finding a gang member in a certain uniform, and one of them was not in uniform. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3621516742 [b]Length and Difficulty[/b] I finished the game in 3.8h after doing all the modes that the game has to offer. Some targets can be tricky to find, although the randomization helps to make the game not feel repetitive. The game has different modes. The default one is Adventure Mode that I mentioned all this time. There is also Elite Mode, which behaves exactly like Adventure Mode, but you can't zoom. Find Mode, which acts like other hidden object games where you need to find a certain object within a time limit, and Speedrun Mode, where you need to go through all 12 maps in Adventure Mode and find one tower hidden in each level. I found most of them to be tricky to find, although I don't really like the timer option in the Find Mode. Some objects are hidden very well, and it can be annoying to reset when the timer goes faster than how fast you can find all of the objects several times. [h1]Conclusion[/h1] [i]Geometric Sniper[/i] does a fresh take on the hidden object genre. You need to find a target through your sniper scope to kill them instead of finding numerous objects on the screen. If you want more, there are more game modes you can play by finishing a level in adventure mode. I don't enjoy the timer very much since it means that I had to restart a level several times if I didn't know what to do, although the game is still decent for me. If you enjoy playing a hidden object game and want to try one with unique gameplay, this game is for you.
