Sniper Elite 5

Let me just say this. I’ve played EVERY single Sniper Elite game on consoles from PSN to Xbox and 100% completed them all, with my pops, trophies as all. He passed away unfortunately right after 100% completing Sniper Elite V2 so no more co-op, but he would’ve LOVED this game! I just wanted to show how big of fans we are to the franchise and how much I know about the earlier games. OK, so I received the game for PS5 yesterday and I finished the first level. It took me 4 hours or so because it was that FUN and BIG as a level. There’s some minor glitches with the explosions, and masking sounds and movement seems a little janky, in the beginning, but I’m sure they’ll patch it up soon. Hopefully. Like I said above, I’ve played them all, from Sniper Elite 2 to 4, then to Sniper Elite V2. When I first started the game, I was a little taken back on how the movement felt, but you get use to that very quickly. Or you can adjust it in settings. Then I was a little concerned about the level lay out, but then my mind was blown on how big it was after a couple of hours in! If you are a die hard fan of the Sniper Elite games, you will love absolutely love it! If you are new, you’re going to absolutely love it, as well! There’s just so many ways of coming into an objective, and taking down your enemies. It will make the single player mode playable for quite a while. So they do a little guiding for you in the beginning, like the previous games, then they set you free pretty quickly. Once that happens, the game opens up! The upgrades on EVERY gun, from pistol to rifle are awesome! The level design is awesome! The sound is phenomenal! And the game play almost had me up all night, when I had to be up for work at 4am. Like I said above, I was having so much fun on the first level, I just started shooting at random things from the random guns you find, and I was running around just checking out how great the level design is. One thing I will say, is that if you are a die hard fan like me, you might get thrown off on the new weapon upgrades, but after using them, I was fine with it. I’m truly blown away by the game so far, and I believe this will be the best Sniper Elite game in the series as well. So if you are on the fence about picking this up, do yourself a favor and get it! You won’t regret it! Read more

The best game in the series. However, it is more fun on your second playthrough. Standard Sniper Elite gameplay, except for the addition of alarms and workbenches (for weapon upgrades) throughout the maps, which are self-contained. If an alarm is activated, you can still survive, but not easily. That is probably the only downside to the game. Otherwise, excellent presentation, gameplay, and performance. On the second playthrough, you will have better weapons and attachments, so you have more effective options for your missions. That makes the game much more satisfying to play, and much less frustrating. Read more

Love this game. Hours and hours of fun. Never gets old when you play with a friend. Read more

Review, single player only, Update 1.05. Sniper Elite 4 was a good balance between playability and good game mechanics. I really enjoyed it. I was amazed at how the fire fights are generally different every time it's played. Sniper Elite 5 follows this game mechanic with a few additional twists. It's still the same game and for the fans, nothing wrong with that! I do have some issues. The enemy spread is way too large for a single player game. The spread is great for playing co-op, but not solo combat. Trigger an alarm and you get swarmed. So far, in one mission I scored 151 kills. SE4 had the right balance. So the game goes from being a sniper contest to intense WWII slog-fest. One thing does help--the enemy AI is dumb. While there are plenty of workbenches for upgrading weapons, they are sometimes hidden in obscure locations and there is often no logical approach to find them. You have to go online and do a search to find the locations with swarms of nazis to fight to get there. I found the graphics to be pretty good with the architecture being the best crafted of the visuals. Navigation can be frustrating. A case in point is Mont-Saint-Michel and the Fécamp Abbey which must be an exact replica of the real thing, with dozens of rooms, halls, stairways, etc. It's remarkable. But there is no map for the interior making navigating to mission objectives difficult (besides all the enemies you have to kill to get there). Even our hero comments, "This place is a maze." Correct! Here is where they get one star off. The game is buggy showing it was not properly play tested. They all do it now but it is disgusting to charge so much for a product that is not finished and causes the gamer frustration. It's really disappointing to go through a process to complete a special assassination of a German officer for a weapon upgrade and you don't get the upgrade. Another mission features a ​defect that ends mission progression. At least there is a workaround for that level.​ Having said all of this, in my experience, it is a very good WWII game with great replay value for the single player. Read more
