    This game was huge let down to be honest. In my opinion, developers made big mistake making this game open map. It should have stayed linear as it was V2 and SE3. Now all missions are the same - couple main objectives and couple side objectives. You are thrown in open map (not very big however) and start completing those boring objectives. EVERY MISSION IN THE SAME. After 2nd/3rd missionThis game was huge let down to be honest. In my opinion, developers made big mistake making this game open map.

Personally, I even downloaded a trainer to finish last two missions only because it was enough for me of this game but I wanted to see how the story ends.

    Story also was crap, very weak, uninteresting characters and very limited actions during gameplay. It's just not worth your time or your money. Graphics are bad too (comparing with other 2016-2017 AAA games). I played at 1080p max settings and it was 'meh'.

    So in conclusion - boring gameplay, boring missions, bad story, poor graphics.

    P.S. DLCs were BS too.    … Expand

    I really want to fall in love in this series from the begining. If you are the one who like rambo style game maybe this game for you. Lets talk about the positive thing, bigger and more polished environment than previous series, More weapons and weapons customisation is always good, Better firing mechanism and animation from previous game, Sound and voice acted are okay , good joobI really want to fall in love in this series from the begining.

    The cons side of this game is : ai is kinda stupid and lazy, stealth is almost non existent and unrealistic. AI enemy can spot you hundreds meter away but cant detect you 5 meters from him...what a disastrous. How about story and missions? : yeah its Boring and repetitive. Background story : why not changing the theme from US sniper killing germans to Russian Sniper vs Ger? US Sniper vs Jap? or Ger Sniper vs US? Again and again gaming industry do not dare to change point of view to neutral side. We dont care who to win in political matter.
    Afterall this game is better than its previous version, if you want to have fun for just 5 hour then this game is for you.    … Expand

    Great campaign however the online portion has already been infiltrated by the same hacks and cheats as SE3 if your buying for online play don't! The same cheating characters from Bracsil have already ruined it

    Love sniper elite 2 and 3 but this is almost replica of sniper elite 2,3. The blood is bright red for some reason and kills the realism for me.
    Another problem I have in this "Sniper" game is that most missions revolve around you sneaking around and killing people with your silenced pistol.
    God forbid you snipe someone, if you do the whole map will converge on you and constantly respawn    Love sniper elite 2 and 3 but this is almost replica of sniper elite 2,3. The blood is bright red for some reason and kills the realism for me.

    I have no idea who are buying this crap...

    Anyway, this isn't a game, this even isn't a shooter... it's kinda digital shooting gallery... Moorhuhn but without the chickens.

    Would be a totally awesome game if it wouldn't kill itself every 30 minutes.
    Every 30 minutes or so it just vanishes. No error, no crash. Just 'poof' and it's gone.

    The AI is so unrealistic, you'll get detected by literally anything even in the easy difficulty. I didn't like it back then but decided to give it another try after finishing SE5 and it really is worse in every single aspect.

    The story is almost non-existent like the previous SE games because there arent any cinematics in-game. The camera tag is awfully broken and dont work sometimes. The camera is terrible when you are not crouched and running. The graphics are beautiful, the maps are MUCH MORE DETAILED than the previous games and is INSANELY HUGE for a stealth game but again the movement speed when crouchedThe story is almost non-existent like the previous SE games because there arent any cinematics in-game. The camera tag is awfully broken and dont work sometimes. The camera is terrible when you are not crouched and running. The graphics are beautiful, the maps are MUCH MORE DETAILED than the previous games and is INSANELY HUGE for a stealth game but again the movement speed when crouched is so slow that it takes ages to move from one point to another and if you dared running, you would be spotted in no time. This becomes insanely frustrating because they have been using the same mechanics in every SE game since SE2. I am tired with those bullet cams, it is old now. There isnt any innovation here, these games are just recycled matters. The same set of animations, the same stupid cameras, same bullet cams, the same level design, the same stupid "one sniper saving the world" themes.
    IF YOU HAVENT PLAYED THE PREVIOUS GAMES, YOU WILL LIKE SE4. BUT IF YOU HAVE PLAYED THE PREVIOUS GAMES, YOU WONT FIND ANYTHING NEW WITH THIS GAME AND SO I ABSOLUTELY HATED IT.    … Expand

    Where is the innovation? Are you going to live on only one X-ray?! Why are there so few opportunities to kill with environments? (except for the quest with Hitler)

    Once you get through the spectacle and glitz, the game is a direct downgrade from 3. The tightly designed large levels of 3 are replace with large treks through copypasted terrain to make your way to mini-levels where your objectives lie. This makes most levels long, boring, and easy, due to the fact that you can escape your enemies at any given time.

This makes most levels long, boring, and easy, due to the fact that you can escape your enemies at any given time.

    I have no idea where the claims of excellent AI are coming from, because it's a gigantic step down, even on the highest difficulty. Enemies are less accurate, more predictable, and less capable of taking cover. They will often take cover behind things which give them a massive disadvantage and expose most of their body, and then, if you're too slow at picking them off, slowly charge you one by one.

    To give a key example of how bad the new AI is, it does not even look upwards when searching for you. In addition, the stealth system and detection systems have also been dumbed down. Enemies have shorter sight ranges and less capability to maneuver around the player. Many situations which lead to me being surrounded and killed in 3 were not even recognized by the AI in 4.

    It's badly designed, the "large" maps are superficial at best, and the enemies suck. It's bad. Don't buy it.    … Expand

    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!

    The series has barely evolved since Sniper Elite 2 – it got stuck in World War II and one gameplay blueprint. Even the visuals are outdated. Moreover I simply can’t take Karl Fairburne’s exploits seriously as he singlehandedly clears whole villages full of Nazis, takes on tanks and for the third time shoots Hitler in the nuts in the DLC. Pure nonsense. [04/2017, p.60]
