Sniper Elite: Resistance

Impulse GamerChris O'Connor

I have a love-hate relationship with the Sniper Elite series of games—I love playing them, but I dread the thought that each one might be the last. At the end

It’s an understatement to say that 2025 has been rough… and brace yourselves, because we’re still in January. As people, for some inexplicable reason, bother to debate whether or not Elon Musk threw up two Nazi salutes at Trump’s inauguration (he did), Sniper Elite Resistance has come out at a perfect time. Not only does it remind us that fascism is bad, but of the importance of fighting back.

Technically a spinoff and not a fully-fledged mainline sequel, Sniper Elite: Resistance sees players assume the role of Harry Hawker, a Special Operations Executive agent tasked with hunting down a secret Nazi super-weapon that could jeopardize the imminent D-Day operation, a journey that takes Hawker across WW2-era France. In a nutshell, Sniper Elite: Resistance is everything fans would expect it to be; no more, but certainly no less.

Sniper Elite: Resistance delivers more of the excellent tactical stealth shooting action that Sniper Elite 5 boasted three years ago. It might be a familiar experience, but for genre fans, it's still an easy recommendation.

Graphical caveats aside, Sniper Elite: Resistance is fun to play not only because of the various game modes but how you can approach missions. The developers also devoted significant effort to ballistics and weapons handling. Veteran players will feel right at home. New players will be delighted with the variety of missions. Both will be delighted with the options of how they can play them.

Sniper Elite: Resistance offers up just as much, if not more than Sniper Elite 5 did. But despite a new campaign, a new story and a new protagonist, it still doesn't take enough steps to right any of the notable wrongs from Sniper Elite 5. But regardless of its shortcomings, Sniper Elite: Resistance is a fun and satisfying shooter. Just don't expect it to do much more than the previous games.

It’s almost shocking to realise that Sniper Elite as a series has been around for 20 years this October. Between the main series and its zombies themed spin-offs, which I’m sure were not at all inspired by Call of Duty, the new entry Sniper Elite: Resistance makes for a total of 12 games in the series. Which is insane to think about when you consider there are 7 years between the first two games in the series. Sniper Elite has always been in the World War 2 time period, fighting back agai...

Sniper Elite: Resistance is a reasonable continuation of the franchise, its sniping highs remain as amusing as ever thanks to some neat environmental gameplay, but much of its content rehashes what came before instead of evolving the series concept for a true next-gen sequel.

I’m finding it hard to focus on and enjoy games at the moment. I’m terrified every day I wake up that the Government will take away more rights from myself, my friends, my family and my loved ones. I see headlines from overseas that workplaces are partaking in a snitch hotline to dob in those “hired due to diversity.” I sit, terrified that this is just the beginning and the world is losing its compassion and care. This isn’t several decades ago. This is 2025. I launch Sniper Elite: ...

Sniper Elite Resistance feels like a game you've already played. It's solid gameplay, gorgeous graphics, and mechanics are all borrowed from Sniper Elite 5. However that doesn't make it stale. More of a satisfying dessert after a good meal.

While the campaign is fun but often too familiar, Resistance shines most of all in some of the game's secondary modes, particularly Invasion and No Cross PvP. Of course, bringing a buddy along to play the story in co-op smooths over some of its roughness, too. I do want to play more of this series, but I'm hopeful the next one takes a bigger leap forward and cleans up some of the long-present jank. Like the difference between the second and third games in the series, it's only going to be the next big step for Sniper Elite if the team finally innovates on what existed before. Otherwise, it's j...
