    Fantastic and nearly perfect game.

    Other AAA titles like GOW, COD, Horizon, etc, get more attention because they got the Hollywood pizazz, but I'm hard pressed to play more than a few hours of any of those types of games. SE4, on the other hand, I regularly play, well over 300 hours at this point. I play the same missions and surivival maps over and over, and it just doesn't get old.

    Why?

    Because it's a game. Just a game. There's no stupid characters to say dumb, trite crap to make me feel embarrassed for playing. There's no cutscenes. No idiotic story, cringey dialogue. No boring slogs of walking between spurts of dull gameplay.

    SE4 is an action game that engages you just the right amount and constantly delivers satisfaction. Every kill shot feels great, gameplay is always tense and exciting. The difficulty is perfectly balanced. I've been trying for years to finish some of the survival maps on Authentic Plus solo and still can't quite get there, but it just doesn't get old.

    Great game guys, keep it up!    … Expand

    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

    Good game. Story could have been deeper, but it's not bad. The AI is impressive actually for a shooter. There are several difficulty levels and the more you increase the difficulty, closer you get to a real sniping experience. Ballistics take gravity, muzzle velocity and wind into account, cover and sound dynamics are also great. If you like sniping concept, this game is for you.

    The maps are brilliant, so many places to climb/drop around, to find a better/different way to approach the targets. The only thing I can complain about is that unlocked or DLC skins can't be used in campaign, on a map that you haven't already done!?!? WTF?!
    I mainly bought it (2 copies) so me an a mate could play it Coop, but then both he and me have to look like the dull idiot 'Karl' Exactly the same!?

    How can they mess up a small detail, that does sooo much for online gaming, visible customization!?
    Sure it might be a small thing, but extremely important to me.

    The X-ray cinematics can get boring after a while, but at least you can turn it off.

    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.

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.

    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.

You are more than likely going to kill everyone you meet, its just a matter of not getting caught. You can attempt to go full assault mode and win. Its just a much harder path.

    Sniper Elite 4 is essentially a stealth / shooting game. It requires a lot of patience, skill and imagination to infiltrate and complete missions like a professional. On less manly settings you could get away with shooting your way through barely, but not on skilled difficulty settings, you will be killed easily if you're caught in a gun fight.

    The game areas are now much larger so tagging enemies for environmental information becomes very important for perfect stealth. You will have to study enemy movements precisely, finding ways to exploit the environment to your advantage. Such as masking your rifle shots, causing explosions, making objects fall, taking out commanders for detailed enemy positions and getting those all important kill cam shots.

    For sniper fans there is a lot of custom options to make shooting as skilled as you want it to be. From bullet drop, wind adjustment and different loadouts. I think Sniper Elite fans will be very happy with this new adventure, if you have never played and like stealth games you should really consider getting this.

    Better graphics
    Better animations

    Otherwise it's more of the same. Lots of different opportunities and approaches to your objectives and scalable difficulty and "realism" when it comes to ballistics. From casual call of duty where you aim you hit regardless of distance, to wind, range and gravity beeing massive factors to where your hit lands. Ai can be customised to oblivious morons to psychic relentless machines.
    At the time of this review there are 8 missions + one dlc mission wich you get for free if you preordered the game, each taking about 1-1.5h on Veteran difficulty if you only do the main objectives. 2-3h if you do all objectives. Replayability comes in the form of collectibles, trying different approaches and challenges.
    As of writing this review I have spent about 33h on this game across 9 missions and some survival gameplay and I don't feel I'm done with it yet. I intend to take on some missions on harder difficulties.
    To me the fun factor comes in the gameplay and not the story. The story is as generic as any COD game.
    My old trusted rig i7 4770K, Titan Black with 16GB ram running win 10, ran this game flawelessly at maxed out 1080p with no drops under 60fps. No crashes, no hickups.

    Sniper Elite 4 is a 3rd person shooter where you play as the sniper Karl Fairburne in World War 2 hunting down Nazis…
    And you don’t even have to play like a sniper...
    Sniper elite 4 features 8 missions total and are all set in a different open sandbox with optional objectives and intel to collect along with your main objective and targets…
    These missions last anywhere from 20 minutes up to an hour depending on how you play and if you choose to ignore the optional stuff..
    It took me around 7 an a half hours to get to the credits…
    There are various difficulty settings here that not only effect the damage enemies do, but also affect how sniping works.. so for those 360 no scope pros, sniper elite will give you a great challenge as you calculate drops and wind…
    I’m not one of those people…
    You have the option to find a vantage point, pull out your binoculars, mark your targets and pick them off..
    But with too much noise they’ll be able to triangulate your position, so it’s important to move...
    sneaking through the shadows and bushes…
    calculating and planning every move…
    sneaking up behind enemies and stealth killing them
    Holding your breath, lining up the shots for a slow mo x ray vision kill
    Or you can play like I did and throw all caution to the wind…
    Sniping people without a care who hears or sees you… pulling out your assault rifle if too many enemies surround you...
    loot their bodies for more ammo, medkits, and grenades... swap weapons…
    just having a blast destroying enemies on these maps and completing objectives
    My favorite part about this game is that it doesn’t punish you if youre not about that sniper life..
    You can play this game any and every way you want...
    And the maps change up enough to keep the game feeling fresh... it never drags out…
    the overall campaign though feels like its lacking a bit of knowledge...
    the story feels like no effort was put into it... and the most interesting possible target for a world war 2 game, adolf hitler, was reserved for pre orderers.. So if you’re a smart gamer and actually wait for reviews... you don’t get the only target whos even a little interesting…
    Its going to run you about $10 in the playstation store, so I highly recommend you make a statement by waiting for a sale before you pick up sniper elite 4 and its dlc…
    This is a really fun campaign, but this greed level from the publisher is too high.
    There isn’t just single player here though...
    You can also play co-op in the story, survival mode, or scout and sniper mode... as well as play competitive modes online...
    These modes are about as fun as youd think a bunch of snipers running around a large map trying to snipe eachother could be..
    High paced and full of action... just kidding... nothing happens... hardly anyone plays... waste of the developers time…
    Sniper Elite 4 isnt a shooter oyu buy to play online.. This game shines in its open sandbox styled missions
    I just wish these missions were a bit more interesting

    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!

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.

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

    Сюжет забывается на следующий же день, но здесь приятный геймплей и графика. Игра требует наличия мозгов у игрока.

    Nice game, but litte boring. Every mission has the same actions. Graphcis are not the best

    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]

    If destroying Nazi testicles is your thing, then look no further. [Issue#260, p.58]
