    Sniper Elite 4 feels much more streamlined than 3 - but i cannot really pin it down. Maybe it is because it is larger and does not feel as tunneled as 3 (although 3 was not too restrictive either)

    What begins very good though - reveals some flaws a little later (for me - about after mission 4). I started to realize that the game suffers GREATLY from a VERY predictable AI. Even on the HIGHEST AI setting - the enemies tend to act utterly suicidal and do not pose a serious threat to the sniper - unless they come in very large groups.
    Things change a little later - when the enemy starts to appear in more difficult classes - but especially the enemy snipers with their "hard to miss" scope glare (not to mention the alarm siren when they focus on you) are made a "little" too easy.
    All in all - the enemy does not seem to work well as a team, runs around in an erratic manner and easily gets shot down one by one.

    I cannot comment on how accurate the rifle physics are - i can only presume they are alright - although ironically - i do not use the rifle much at all. - i use it to "pull" a group, get to a chokepoint and kill the enemy behind corners with the sidearm or melee.

    In terms of performance - it runs great on lowest specs.    … Expand

    4 definitely expands and improves over 3 in several ways. But for some reason the graphics make it look much worse than 3! The game is running great on Ultra, the pc can certainly handle it, but a lot of textures are low-res and blurry. Quite disappointed in the graphics quality of 4!

    I've played SN2 and SN3, then I played this SN4. SN4 has added more new elements like Tomb Raider's climbing techniques, but still lacks the grapple hooks and flying and driving elements from Far Cry 4 and lack of dogs and critters from GTA V and Far Cry Primal.

It's such a waste to download this game through 600 kbps transfer speed. Why can't they put this game's installer in a 64GB or 128Gb SSD or USB flash stick and sells it in a store? Buyer can empty out the game content and resell the SSD or USB flash stick. User must register the game through STEAM in the end of course. Damn! Fixing the copper wires at home cost between NZD $125 to $350, god knows what's wrong with it. The best part of this game is that it has 'render scale' that allows adjusting the screen percentage like what the other older game UT3 has to offer. On this rig it can run at mid-high game settings on most of the maps and missions: Windows 7 64-bit, Phenom 965 overclocked to 3.7Ghz, both HT Links and bus set at 2200Mhz, 8GB RAM, GTX 670, 256GB SSD with very big size set for virtual page files, the render scale was set at between 80 to 95% by a screen resolution of 1920x1080, and with CLEAR VISION set to weak or medium it sure look more like bump mapping set to high, and it has the great variable options of setting AF of 2/3/4/5/6/7/8/9/10/11/12 or 14 than just 4/8/16. It's all God based. It's sad that these guys are cappable to make better Windows but instead they choose to make games.
    Ups: Bigger maps. More enhanced weapon and ballistic handlings. Good PC hardware supports.
    Downs: Not enough missions and maps. No fiction events and maps - no fiction game mode. AI skill are goofs at some parts.    … Expand

Con una gtx 980 en 1440p y filtros optimizados según nvidia lo mueve a 60fps pero cuando te ocultas entre la vegetación baja drásticamnete a 30fps.

    Tenemos varios niveles de dificultad pero recomiendo los dos últimos (dificil y extremo). Empecé el juego en el más complicado y si bien mueres a menudo y es bastante exigente, es asequible jugando con cabeza y mucha paciencia. Lo malo de este nivel es que no cuentas con minimapa, ni con indicadores de objetivo ni, lógicamnete, ayuda al apuntado, por lo que hay que ser muy pro para atreverse a disparos de más de 100m pues hay que tener en cuanta unos factores a la hora de apuntar, ni tampoco marcado de enemigos a través de los prismáticos. Después de dos misiones completadas, decidí bajarlo al nivel inmediatamente anterior y todo esto que comento ya aparece. Sigue siendo exigente y mueres a poco que te confíes pero, bajo mi punto de vista, se hace más disfrutable. Si lo juegas en difícil, recomiendo quitar rayos x porque el minimapa ya indica los enemigos que hay en esa zona sin necesidad de haberlos marcado.

    La campaña está formada por varias misiones con sus objetivos principales y secundarios, que nos habrán dado los personajes con los que debemos charlar antes de iniciarlas. Aconsejo completar los secundarios antes, porque si vas a ir a saco a por los primeros, la misión finilizará. La verdad es que éstas, sin ser excesivamente numerosas, sí que pueden durar bastante, siendo raro que bajen de una hora si te detienes a completar objetivos, coleccionables, registrar a los cadáveres para recuperar munición, muertes sufridas y dependiendo de la dificultad y la paciencia que tengas para ir matando sin que te detecten. En cierto modo, las mecánicas se repiten en todas las misiones, con riesgo de resultar repetitivo. Lo cierto es que hay un algo que te hace disfrutar y que la experiencia jugable sea altamente satisfactoria.

    Contamos con el entorno para poder eliminar a los enemigos. En algunas misiones aprovecharemos el estar cerca de grandes cañones que al disparar ocultan el ruido de nuestro rifle (el modo ejecución es salvaje y espectacular, ver cómo destrozamos el órgano del nazi de turno es acojon****). En otros escenarios podremos manipular artefactos que provoquen ruido regularmente con el mismo objetivo (dichos artefactos podemos localizarlos a distancia con los prismáticos y marcarlos). A pesar de todo ello, no es ni mucho menos un paseo militar. No siempre contaremos con la posibilidad de camuflar el ruido o de tener munición silenciosa para el rifle, por lo que deberemos jugar con las coberturas y la maleza, así como hacer uso de los prismáticos para marcar a nuestros enemigos y ver sus pautas de vigilancia. Con esto, podremos ir acercándonos en modo sigilo y matarlos con la pistola con silenciador. Pero claro, o estamos muy cerca de ellos y disparamos a la cabeza si no tienen casco o entre la cara y el cuello si lo tienen, o necesitaremos varios tiros y como tardemos mucho en recargar o fallemos alguno, el enemigo dará la voz de alerta y vendran a por nosotros. En este punto, podemos ir a saco con el francotirador o en modo rambo y dar uso a la ametralladora o incluso seguir jugando con las coberturas y matarlos con la pistola con silenciador ya que, si lo hacemos bien, es posible que la alarma desaparezca si conseguimos no ser vistos. Francamente, es bastante satisfactoria la experiencia de eliminar a los rivales en modo francotirador camuflando el sonido o con la pistola ya que ése es el objeto del juego, aunque el modo rambo puede tener su punto llegado el caso.

    La IA es algo variable. Me explico. Hay misiones o lugares concretos dentro de éstas en las cuales, al dar la alarma la CPU, se comporta bastante bien y muy competente, al punto que ves en el minimapa que pretende envolverte para atacarte desde distintos flancos o por retaguardia moviéndose constantemente entre coberturas. Pero en otros casos, sin ser mala, puede llegar a ser un poco simplona. Otro aspecto negativo es que el ángulo de visión del enemigo puede llegar a ser bastante bajo: a pesar de la alarma general, con poco que vayas agachado, el enemigo no te detecta cuando se cruza contigo a la carrera y tú estás pegado a la pared o tras la puerta. Ocurre, lógicamente, dentro de edificios o búnkeres.

    El juego va perfecto sin observar errores, fallos, bugs, glitches... pero en el último tercio he visto algunos soldados (pocos) tratando de caminar a través de paredes o vallas o se fundían con elementos del escenario, cosa que te saca de la experiencia.

    Otra pega. El juego permite cambiar el aspecto y hacer mejoras en armas y en el personaje. La profundidad en este campo es bastante escasita y lo cierto es que no notas mucho la diferencia.    … Expand

    Con lo poco visto de la saga Sniper Elite he de decir que no veo gran innovación con respecto a sus otras entregas. La historia pudiendo ser interesante es demasiado aburrida y no esta muy bien contada. Simplemente lo mas interesante del juego es el gameplay dado que el resto de elementos relacionados con el desarrollo del juego no consiguen destacar lo mas mínimo. El aspecto menos pulido y mas alejado de lo que seria un buen trabajo son los personajes de la historia tanto principales como secundarios. Literalmente son aburridos y poco detallados dando una sensación falsa de que realmente estas disparando a nazis en la segunda guerra mundial.    … Expand

    И снова Sniper elite. На этот раз в Италии. Игра наверно пытается рассказать какой то сюжет, но какая разница, если можно прострелить мошонку итальяшке. А на этот раз вроде бы миссии не коридорные и можно выбрать куда пойти и что сделать первым, а что оставить или даже не делать. Но зачем если можно зачистить всю карту?.. мне кажется в этом весь смысл :)И снова Sniper elite. На этот раз в Италии.

    Good game, acceptable story not too complex, but i think it wasn't the focus of the creators.
    The gameplay loop now... That is fun, it's an amazing stealth game, i did everything i could on it.
    Definitely recomend

    The game left me in doubt. The game is not a failure, but not a breakthrough. I liked the shooting itself, the plot itself is boring. But the main disadvantage is that the game intelligence is very weak. I also remember my mission to kill chief among the Nazis on the island, but he just didn't show up. I went around the island several times, but did not find it.

    Great Game, Not For Me

    Third Person Stealth games, or stealth games in general have always been some of my favourite genres in video games and by all intents and purposes, I should've really enjoyed Sniper Elite 5 but for some reason I never had that itch to keep playing it.

    Sniper Elite 5 is a game where you assume the role of Karl Fairburne, an American-German Sniper on the side of the allies who helps turn the tide of the war in France 1944 through the games own inner plot set around the events of the historical D-Day.

    The gameplay is what you'd expect, sneak around, line up your shots, hide bodies and collect intel. You are truly a commando in every sense of the word.

    One of the best aspects of the game are the level design and missions. The maps are not massive but they're not small either, they are packed with things to do and each level feels meticulously crafted by the developers to an astonishing level. Although you have your main objective every mission there are an abundance of side missions as well as a few different difficulties, I imagine the replayability of this game is great and you could definitely get your moneys worth.
    There are 9 missions in total and each can take between 60 and 150 minutes to complete. Definitely bang for your buck.

    There are multiple ways you can complete each mission, sometimes its just blowing something up, sometimes its breaking a production line, there are several ways to do things as well as multiple enemy types and loadouts that can suit your playstyle.

    If I'm being honest with myself, I genuinely don't know why I didn't enjoy this game. I was the same with SE2 and SE4. For me something just feels off and I would like to make a disclaimer that it is just the way I personally feel about the game. I just never clicked with it. I felt no urge to hit launch and when I was playing it I wasn't getting any enjoyment out of it. It felt like a chore just so I could get a review out and be done with it.

    I got halfway through mission 6 before I said to myself. "I'm just not enjoying this and I don't know why." I genuinely don't. The game ticks every single last box but I guess I can just say that I'm not in the mood for this game right now, that's the only thing I can think of.

    I will come back to this game when I'm in the mood for it and see if I can complete 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]
