Sniper Elite 5

If you’ve played previous Sniper Elite games, you already know if you’re going to like Sniper Elite 5. If you haven’t, I can’t recommend it enough, as well as the previous entries. The quality is consistent all the way back to the first entry, and it’s a ton of fun. Don’t forget to check out the Nazi Zombie Army games as well. As I mentioned at the beginning of the review, Rebellion knows the meaning of “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”, and they’ve used that to pump out a series of great games.

While going back to World War II might not be on the top of players' minds when it comes to a new shooter, the new Axis Invasion mode brings Dark Souls competitive PVP to a stealth series in a way that might be impossible to top.

An action hero for the ages, Karl Fairburn takes you trough a bullet-ridden, high-stakes, action-packed blockbuster thrill ride. Sniper Elite 5 is the epitome of what it means to marry tactical shooters and stealth action games.

Sniper Elite 5 is unmissable for anyone with even a passing interest in stealth games.

Sniper Elite 5 makes small attempts at innovation but not enough to stop it from being a fairly safe entrant into the Sniper Elite franchise. The enhanced killcam, extensive weapon customization, and better skill trees help to improve the experience over Sniper Elite 4. Players will undoubtedly have fun roaming the large battlefields of France as long as they can get over the minor bugs, although we could do without those that can stop a playthrough in its tracks. While the standard multiplayer modes and Survival mode will keep players occupied for a while, Invasion mode is what will keep players coming back for more.

Quotation forthcoming.

Sniper Elite 5 is a bad game, in part thanks to boring maps, lackluster graphics and a non-existent story, but most of all because of its fundamentally flawed AI that takes all the fun out of stealth and sniping.

I was not expecting much from the trailers, i was expecting pretty much the same game just in a different place, but man am i glad i got this game (I was wrong). The changes to the bullet ballistics, gfx upgrades, and new game modes really sold it to me after the fact. I am a history nerd so I thought that it was pretty cool that they didnt censor this release like they have in previous titles (Swatikas, SS, etc) The story is quite interesting and each mission has tons of objectives to complete on huge maps that you can tackles in a non-linear way. You can spend over an hour on each mission on the easiest difficulty or fly right through them (your choice). There is also custom difficulty, say you want authentic bullet ballistics but you want full hud; you can do that. The Axis Invasion is probably my favorite part of this game. I wont spoil it for anyone but make sure you turn it on before starting your missions ;). This feature is EASILY the best feature in the new release and should be a staple in the franchise from here on out. I am a long time veteran since v2 and i have got to say that this is my favorite game yet! I really hope to see another release sooner than before (5 years) but if i have to wait, i will and thats okay.

Le jeu est vraiment sympa. Le découpage en grands niveaux ouverts bac à sable permet une bonne immersion quant à l'approche des différents objectifs. D'autant que les espaces sont très agréables à parcourir et l'exploration est bien récompensée. Le jeu ne brille jamais par sa profondeur mais garde un aspect très ludique tout au long de ses missions.

Sniper Elite 5 was a fun and sometimes clever stealth shooter with a decent story and plenty of challenges to take on. Loads of customization aspect which you can suit to your style of play. Marked improvement over Sniper Elite 4 and the online multiplayer was a let down very glitchy and buggy. The campaign is worth the play.

I'm about halfway to 60% finish with this game. This all should have just been DLC for se4. So many missed opportunities, there's all these cars all over the map why can't I drive them? When I respond to a last save how come I have a different amount of bullets? When I shoot a table, I see the debris fly for the air but the table is still there unmoved. I have a massive hard drive and they have this engine to show debris but no in game damage. I'm going to be honest too, the world war II trope is really old. Why don't we have like Vietnam or Afghanistan or something? I'm not saying it's not an important portion of History just we are ignoring other parts of it that could be great games. I don't want to have to be playing call of duty or rainbow six to be experiencing anything modern.... The characters during the movies and in between missions aren't that interesting either. I'm finding myself skipping cutscenes because I know it's blah blah blah, **** blah blah blah rinse repeat. The dialogue is awful, I understand it's a game about world war II and the **** but there's this thing called implied speech I don't have to keep hearing the word **** ever sentence. Beginning of the game maybe the beginning of part of the mission say **** two or three times and I pretty much got it. I know we're not fighting communist Russians which in all reality would probably be a more fun game. You could skip this game and play sniper elite 3 and 4 instead. I might give resistance a try but the way I feel about it right now very apprehensive. I'm giving it a 4 out of 10 only because giving it a three would be rude. The gameplay is still fun just like I said many missed opportunities.

I can't believe I have to comment on this piece of ****, yet another one! It's clear we already have more than enough of them.
