Brings what grabs you about Root: sneaking and hiding, good gunplay as well as a realistic look.

A tactical first-person shooter about being a sniper in the jungles of a fictional Latin American country, where wind, gravity and bullet travel time shape every shot. Stealth and patient scouting take centre stage, though the execution is more serviceable than polished.
