Sniper Elite 4 is the best entry yet in this long-running franchise with great big meaty missions stuffed to bursting point with Nazis to snipe and stab in glorious slo-mo X-ray vision. There's a new-found flexibility to the gameplay, with Karl now able to shimmy and scurry vertically around levels and enemy AI that's much more up to the task than in previous iterations. There may be some slightly rough edges, with duff writing, naff characters and gameplay that doesn't change much from start to finish but, overall, this is playful sniper's paradise that lands on Switch in a truly...

Sniper Elite 4 is one of those games that has something for everyone. Being a borderline recluse, I was attracted to the idea of playing as a lone wolf, but the multiplayer co-op Overwatch game was even better!

Sniper Elite 4 delivers a solid sniping experience and a lot of fun stealth moments. It has a forgettable story and a few technical quirks but succeeds in delivering all the skeletal nonsense that fans of the series have come to expect.

I’ll be honest here, I do have a bit of a reputation on the Checkpoint team as the “go-to-girl” for shooting games. While I’m a massive fan of the genre, the Sniper Elite series is one I’ve never taken much of an interest in, until now. The fourth game in a franchise might seem to some like a bit of an odd place to jump into a pre-established franchise, but trust me here you’re all okay to just leap right in with me. In Sniper Elite 4 we see our protagonist OSS agent Karl Fairbu...

There is nothing quite like that moment when you find the perfect vantage point, take the perfect shot, and escape before anyone notices. Sniper Elite 4 is the latest title from Rebellion Developments, 3 years since Sniper Elite III released. Sniper Elite 4 brings about new changes while refining existing elements of the series. Sniping and stealth in video games has usually been a crowd pleaser, and Sniper Elite 4 does well in catering to this style of third-person shooter. For those that have not heard of the Sniper Elite franchise, you have probably seen the series’ familiar x-ray kill...

Still, Sniper Elite 4 comes across as a fully-realized result of the shifts Rebellion set in motion with the previous game, and proves itself an ably constructed, often gorgeous, and thoroughly engrossing stealth-action shooter.

Maybe it’s how the camera pans around your bullet, Matrix-style, as it flies through the air to your target? The way your victim stays blissfully unaware that a lump of hot metal is flying towards them, faster than the speed of sound, until it’s too late?

Italy is seen by many as the cultural center of Europe. To visit Italy is to explore its continent-spanning history, witness its jaw-dropping art and mingle with its litany of philosophers, artists, and poets. From its picturesque rural towns, complete with quaint churches, beautiful vistas, and vineyards to explore, to the sprawling, bustling cities with narrow, winding streets and ancient ruins to explore.

Finding a spot with a great view of the battlefield, staring down the scope of your rifle, and taking out your enemies before they even know what hit them is a thrilling moment in any shooter. With the fourth entry of Sniper Elite, a franchise built on delivering on that feeling, developer Rebellion has created a well-rounded and empowering sandbox shooter.

In single, isolated moments, Sniper Elite 4 is a great game. However, mediocre AI, a throw away story, and a lack of polish in some key places, prevent it, as an entire package, from being a great game.

Huge levels and an incredible array of new ways to take down your targets make Sniper Elite 4 a killer addition to the stealthy series

Sniper Elite 4 isn't without its flaws, but it delivers a number of noteworthy improvements over previous games in the series to make it an engrossing experience. The gruesome X-ray kill cams still haven't gotten old, and the more expansive and dense levels make the core gameplay all the more entertaining. It's definitely the best in the series yet, and is worth checking out for longtime fans and newcomers alike.

A lot of games tout the ability to “play how you want to play,” but Sniper Elite 4’s missions and mechanics actually are robust enough to back up that claim. Picking apart the Nazi war machine piece by piece, using whatever plan comes to mind, is a blast. The way it encourages you to stay mindful, experiment, and get better is a refreshing vote of confidence, even if it doesn’t always reward the extra effort you’re putting in.

Standing head and shoulders above its predecessors, Sniper Elite 4 is Rebellion assuredly stepping up their game. Sure, the story at the heart of the campaign is still a bit duff, but who plays games like this for the narrative? I certainly don’t. What’s important is that all of Sniper Elite 4’s gameplay tweaks and improvements come together to create a package that feels solid and succinct, offering an experience that is enjoyably tense and rewarding. What’s more, it’s always thrilling lining up that perfect shot before witnessing its gruesome effects on your victim via the x-ray kill-cam. Perfection eludes...

In fact, the setup of Sniper Elite 4 often calls back to something of a bygone age of gaming, but not necessarily in a bad way. Aside from the sniping itself, there's a lack of complexity here, and although gamers used to a wider buffet of gameplay styles may find this a little bit irritating, those willing to throw themselves into a game that asks for patience will be rewarded accordingly. Treat Sniper Elite 4 differently from other shooters, and it will treat the player well right back.

Of course, there’s also competitive multiplayer, with various forms of sniper deathmatch and team deathmatch that will be familiar to those who played previous games. They’re pretty standard and par for the course, but Rebellion are also mixing things up a bit. Control has you racing to capture and hold a radio station to call in artillery, and it cuts against the grain of traditional sniper play, with a much more frantic pace, to the point that your secondary weapon might be preferred. You’ll still want to be good with a sniper rifle, but it’s less essential here than in...

Overall, Sniper Elite 4 has so much to offer its players and successfully caters to a wide variety of people. The fact that the Campaign can be played solo or entirely co-op is awesome, making it easy for players and their friends to jump in and out of the story as often as they please. Experiencing each mission for the first time is just the beginning of an on-going learning experience and the more familiar you become with the maps, the better sniper you’ll become. While this game gives it...
