Especially so with your secondary weapon and pistols. You can also create hard saves as well, and given how long these missions can go, is another added convenience that doesn’t take away from the core experience.Īs with each entry, the shooting is really good. Not sure the thing you’re about to do will have the intended effect? Now can try experimenting with different approaches to see which outcome you like the best. If you go for the stealth approach to missions, the quick save and quick load buttons will be used more than you’ll be reloading a gun. And that letting players have that freedom just makes it easy to go through each level as there’s no specific path to follow. The game doesn’t put importance on how you play. There’s experience points awarded for each action you do, but whether you run around being a human noisemaker or quiet like a deadly field mouse, that’s up to you. There are various enemy states like being in combat (red), searching or investigating (yellow), and all clear (white). You can shoot out lights, create noise cover, or distract with throwing a bottle.

Playing this game in full stealth is definitely hard mode, but it’s a rewarding one. Never in my time with the game did I think it was getting tiresome, it was just so exciting from start to finish. Wolf Mountain is an exciting adventure that lets you do the titular thing for yet another satisfying time. There is a 10th level to play, for those with pre-orders for the standard “Kill Hitler” DLC that’s been in every game so far. It’s also seemingly the largest level that unfurls the deeper you go. The penultimate level is probably my favorite as it really keeps you on your toes and you have to think about your next steps. The complexity of each mission tends to inflate, as by the sixth mission I had a playtime just shy of two hours alone. Even the level that follows, Festung Guernsey is also memorable. The dynamics change as more motorized patrols and searchlights are used to seek you out. War Factory is a level you get to just before the mid-point of the game, and is a standout just from a visual standpoint, but also your first night level. It has a nice mix of these open areas with tighter spaces like with factories, bunkers, or even a castle. It’s clear Rebellion went for more open maps, focusing on rural areas and islands. This game could easily be 25 hours if you let it. Patient and non-lethal players could spend upwards of two to three hours in each level. There’s eight levels and an epilogue to play through, each one taking about an hour to complete. That said, it does mean it’ll take longer to reach the end credits, which is not bad at all, as your time spent here is always worth it. If you’re the type that likes to play stealth with non-lethal kills, that’s also available to you. That is about the length of my time with Sniper Elite III and Sniper Elite 4 combined. I clocked in around 18 hours for my playthrough, going for stealth with lethal kills. There’s a lot to love about this entry, and there’s so many great moments to share that it will have lasting effects. The entire campaign can be played in 2-player coop which has been the standard for years, remains untouched. The campaign doesn’t offer too many surprises, but it is satisfying and engaging throughout. Karl is a man of few words, and of many deaths. Germany knows not enough about Karl to be dangerous, but he and his sniper skills have made a name for themselves over the years, disrupting every attempt they’ve tried to make. Our long-standing protagonist, Karl Fairburne is a bit older and wiser, and most definitely deadlier since we first saw him in Sniper Elite V2 or even Sniper Elite V2 Remastered. Sniper Elite 5 is centered in 1944 France, just before and after D-Day in an effort to learn about and stop Operation Kraken. I can’t recommend Sniper Elite 5 enough, it’s an essential purchase for new and returning players.

The bullet cam and series-defining x-ray view that follows never ceases to disappoint. Every level is bigger and more expansive than anything that came before, and the methods at which you can exterminate Nazis are bountiful. Sniper Elite 5 is a richer and fuller experience that truly iterates on the series, which Rebellion excels at. Karl in front of Mont-Saint-Denis in Normandy, France, 1944.It’s been over five years since the last Sniper Elite was released, though I’ll say it’s been worth the wait. The genre-defining authentic sniping, with enhanced kill cam, has never looked or felt better as you fight across immersive maps to stop the Nazi war machine in its tracks. Return as Karl Fairburne as he fights to uncover a secret Nazi project called Project Kraken in 1944 France.
