Tactical first-person shooter video game developed by Replay Studios, focusing on stealth, strategy, and elite military sniping skills
Sniper: The Manhunter is a tactical first-person shooter video game developed and published in 2021 by Replay Studios for PC and major gaming consoles. In the game, players take on the role of an elite military sniper who must methodically track down and eliminate high value targets in complex urban and wilderness environments.
Gameplay emphasizes skill, stealth, and strategy over run-and-gun action. Missions involve gathering intelligence, staking out locations, studying patrol patterns, accounting for weather and other environmental factors, and finally setting up the perfect long-distance shot. A variety of authentic sniper rifles and equipment allow players to approach each contract in different ways.
Visuals are rendered in stunning detail with the Replay game engine, fully destructible environments, sophisticated AI and physics systems. The open-ended mission design rewards creativity, spatial awareness, and patience. An emphasis on realism means that a single well-placed bullet is often the difference between success and failure.
Since its release, Sniper: The Manhunter has earned critical praise for its meticulous attention to detail, satisfying core gameplay loop, and high degree of difficulty. Fans of tactical military shooters consider it among the best in the genre.
