    Gameplay Freedom
    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

    The Sniper Elite series was starting to become rather stale but this fourth installment brings much-needed innovation with its large and well-designed open world maps. A massive improvement from Sniper Elite III.

    I got a chance to play because of PSplus. I must say Sniper Elite 4 is much better than I was expected. It is definitely one of the great stealth action TPS games out there. Enemy AI is very smart. Sound mark idea is superb. COOP with friend is fun. Kill cam is awesome. Every campaign gives us freedom to complete it the way we want. Shade also helps camouflage.

Enemy AI is very smart. Sound mark idea is superb. COOP with friend is fun. Kill cam is awesome. Every campaign gives us freedom to complete it the way we want. Shade also helps camouflage. Shooting sniper rifle, you will have to check wind and distance (but you can use aim assist if you don't like this aspect). The game has depth learning. Autosave is awesome too.

    However, the game is not really real stealth game but more like semi-stealth game. It is not like you can do all objectives sliently. It is close to impossible to do so. On the other hand, the game emphasize on "Kill without being pinpointed" Meaning enemies will often alert of your actions but they would not find you because you keep moving and kill other guys. It is not my ideal stealth game, but I can understand the concept. However, I hope the game really be true stealth instead. Throwing the rock, or whistling should only alert enemy who hear it, not the whole group. Why there is no flash bang and smoke bomb, and Why soliders keep moving all the times ? It is unrealistic, some soilders should stand guard on the positions too.

    Moreover, story is also very bad. I rarely see the game that has terrible story to this degree. It is just so boring to the point I skipped all npc talks. Campaign is a little short (only 8 missions, which the time you complete all of them should be around 12 - 16 hours) . Graphic is old but acceptable. Mutiplayer is fine but nothing unique. Character can't swim, for a 2017 game, seriously ??

    In sum, I like the game very much, but it is still far from perfect stealth game. I plan to buy Season pass to get more 4 missions but the original price is very steep (35 usd) so I will wait for the sale. Anyway, If you like stealth genre, like Metal gear V, then maybe you will like this game as well.    … Expand

    I very much enjoyed this game. I played it mostly stealthy, and found the process of spotting enemies with your binoculars and then tagging them very satisfying.
    The end of the game felt a bit abrupt too me, but I think they did that to encourage you to buy DLC. An it is a bit of a shame that most of the weapons are locked away behind DLC as well.

It is a great stealth game and a super competent shooter. It really reminded me of MGS5 TPP in some ways, of coarse not in the narrative sense but more from a gameplay loop sense. SE4 isn't an open world game but it might as well be. Every mission you are put in a relatively large are and are free to do missions however you like. You could even spend a lot of time in one area doing all the sub-missions each area has. Granted, some of the side missions feel more like filler, but not all. I spent around 2 hours on the second area just because I was having a blast doing all the extras. It's not all sunshine and rainbows though. There are flaws and really questionable AI design, but I still truly believe this game is great. You can definitely tell it's a lower budget game but it's easy to see that the developers put a lot of effort in making this a decent stealth military shooter. Who doesn't like shooting at Nazis and watching the bullet rip through their fascist faces? I know I do! The bullet cam is just as good as it was in SE3 and although I could totally see why someone would get tired of watching it but I don't. It doesn't happen every time you shoot and you are free to turn it off completely if you so desire. Bottom line, SE4 is a great low-budget game and I seriously don't regret the $60.00 spent as long as Rebellion continues to support SE4, fixing and adding things. You should definitely check this game out. I SWEAR to you it is NOWHERE near as bad as some of the other user reviews say it is. They are probably CoD fans that hate every game you can't wall run on :-). I kid I kid. Seriously though, check it out. If you feel better waiting until price drops that is definitely your prerogative, but sooner or later you should try it.… Expand

    Sniper elite 4 is a great game with great graphics.

    i have finished the main campaign and i enjoyed it.

    But the only bad thing about this game is the multiplayer because no one ever plays it.

If you even remotely like combat games, I fail to see how you can not derive moments of joy from this game. For example, I wounded an officer with a gut shot, only to pick off the three soldiers that tried to rescue him. The third I took out with a testicle shot. Honestly, for gamers that is a fun moment.… Expand

    I had seen that there were a lot of unnecessary low scores, without any damn rhyme or reason as to why there was a low score given, which is frustrating to be honest... So, I figured I'd share my opinion on the game. As a sniping and stealth game, this game is god damn awesome. I loved the second game, but I didn't like the third one as much.

    However, with that being said, I find that    I had seen that there were a lot of unnecessary low scores, without any damn rhyme or reason as to why there was a low score given, which is frustrating to be honest...

    However, with that being said, I find that SE4 is a blast! The option to go stealthy, guns blazing, the awesome signature killcams, the difficulty customization options... It's something fresh from a lot of these shooters we got now. The story is alright, I've only done about 4 missions so far, but the gameplay is well done! The campaign is entirely playable in COOP this time around, which is great and works really well! The PVP multiplayer is alright, much like other games, it's no AAA shooter multiplayer, but it's something to do while you take a break from the Story. Also, the COOP aside from the campaign COOP, is great as well! There's is Survival, and Marksman, Survival being up to 4 players, and Marksman being 2 players (one person spots, while the other snipes). I hadn't had a chance to try out the Marksman mode yet, but I did play a game of survival and it's probably what you'd expect it to be- survive a certain amount of waves of enemies. If you can grab some friends, or maybe join up with some strangers online, Survival can be really fun.

    One thing I'm not too fond of is that your character level is shared across all game modes, so it's one unified character level. I prefer having one level for PVP multiplayer, and the other for Single Player/COOP BUT this time around the game offers skills every 5 levels, where you get to choose between two skills, so I guess this way makes sense. Honestly, if you're looking for a game to pass time by, or have been wanting a good sniping game, this is it. It's got stealth, action, customization, ranking system, and multiplayer... well worth the money I'd say. Compared to its predecessors, this game is a vast improvement, and the levels offer a sense of choice in that you get to tackle every objective/side objective as you wish, in any order. It's very similar to the style of Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. If that sounds fun to you, imagine having a friend to join you on the mission, having either of you'd stick together in an all out assault or stealth mission, or even splitting up with separate or the same play style. So... this game from me gets an 8, but unjust and unexplained reviews brought the games score down unnecessarily... It's a great game.    … Expand

    This is up there with one of the best games I have ever played. Its not often I feel compelled to complete all the 'non essential' objectives, but this game has me doing it on every map.

    The mechanics and default controls are great, and hunting down the enemy and patiently waiting for the best shot is very satisfying.

    This is, hands down, the best and most complete title in the Sniper Elite Encyclopedia. I would venture to say that the other titles in the catalog are 2-3 steps down from Sniper Elite 4. Rebellion brings us something new, exciting and the replay value is one of the best I have seen in 10-15 years. Rolled out in Sniper Elite 4 is the Co-op mode which really sets it apart, in my opinion.This is, hands down, the best and most complete title in the Sniper Elite Encyclopedia.

You even have the Sicilian Mafia to contend with!

    The Devs pulled out all the stops and bring home the best game in the Franchise. I purchased the Sniper Elite V2 (what seems like 10 years ago) for PS3, I believe? And continued with Sniper Elite 3, which wasn't for me (played Zombie Trilogy, as well) but this one is phenomenal. Take Far Cry/Ghost Recon-Wildlands/Battlefield Bad Company 2 (if you can't tell, I really think this game is solid and Rebellion took it to another level. My first "10" Review since in/around 2017.

    If you are a newcomer to the Sniper Elite series, no need in playing the others (unless you are itching at the bit) but this one is, by far, the best in the Series.

    The Deluxe Edition is the way to go, you get everything (all the DLC), Additional Missions (including the "Target Fuhrer" Expansion where you are taking out Hitler) and the Season Pass (which is loaded). There remains an active Multiplayer and Co-op Community, which is impressive for a game coming up on two (2) years since release.

    Kudos Rebellion on a getting it right, really right!    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game is a slow burner and I'm growing to appreciate the differences between this and SE3. I would have rated this a classic and more of a draw from other 3rd person tactical games but for a couple of little things missing that break the immersion. I want this franchise to be so much more given the period.

    1. The ability to adjust the HUD, in particular to remove the crosshairs for a smaller dot to enjoy those impressive graphics,
    2. To be able to switch shoulder - it's almost a given with some developers that this is necessary in a 3rd person game for your character to be able to 'check the corners' when scouting around walls, through doorways etc.
    3. The animations themselves - the weapons and Fairburne's character appear a little disproportionate. The 1911 and Grease Gun look huge in his hands, where his head looks tiny for his body, unless he's been comfort eating since Africa.
    4. Weapon modifications - to be able to switch different scopes or rely on iron sights. To add a supressor to a Sten... etc

    If these were incorporated into the next installment, the game would be close to perfect.    … Expand

The game really encourages you to think about what you're going to do before you do it. Yeah, you can try to kill everyone, and if you just want to go in there blasting the place apart, by and large you can do it, but if you want to stealth, you can do that too. I played scenarios where I did most of the mission without killing anyone. It was heart-pounding fun to slip in between patrols, throw rocks to lead guards away from doors I needed to get into, leaving traps in remote locations to be set off to draw enemies away from my location. All of it fun and seemed very legit.

    For those of you who played SE3, you'll discover right away that your favourite trick no longer works reliably. Remember how you'd come up on 5 guys, and you'd throw rocks to pull them one at a time to your location and kill them all? Yeah, well here is the bad news. These boys have learned to count. When one of their group goes missing, they notice and start looking for him. Yeah, enjoy that. :)

    Storyline was so-so. Held together by a fairly thin thread it will get you through, but that's about it. Mostly this game is about tactical scenarios that you need to solve.

    Combat system is excellent except for one minor flaw. Whoever thought that making the 'pick up the body' key the same as 'punch the guy next to you' key did not get into a fight with multiple opponents. A number of times I'd take down guy one and try to hit the second guy, only to have my character pick up the first body instead. I recommend changing that key right off the start. The only other complaint I'd have about it is how godlike you are in close combat. I've killed 4 guys in hand to hand without getting killed on the second hardest level.

    Which brings me to a very, very cool part of the game. Realistic mode. They decided to put in a realistic mode in the game. All your superpowers are basically gone. No minimap, no detailed info on the camp, no automatic gun site adjustment for distance and wind. All gone. All I can say is good luck. Be prepared for many, many heart pounding moments.

    All in all, a good game if you like the genre and an amazing game if you're into stealth games.    … Expand

    Sniper Elite 4 -PS4 REVIEW

    This game is the pinnacle of the Sniper Elite Series of which I have played everyone. It has the best graphics, the best sound, X-ray feature, AI and level design. SE4 has truly been the best action game I've played for years including games like Far cry 4 or Doom. Yes, silly people will complain that there is nothing terribly newsworthy or inspired about    Sniper Elite 4 -PS4 REVIEW

    It has the best graphics, the best sound, X-ray feature, AI and level design.
    SE4 has truly been the best action game I've played for years including games like Far cry 4 or Doom.

    Yes, silly people will complain that there is nothing terribly newsworthy or inspired about this game, and they would be right. But if they would go from there to say the game is not worth your money they must seriously ask themselves if they should be playing sniper games at all.
    A game series honed to near perfection is to be commended, not slapped for not learning new tricks.

    Sniper Elite 4 is JUST AWESOME.

    One moment you could be sniping nazis from 150m away and the next you are engaged in close combat in narrow streets with your smg, laying traps trying to outsmart them.
    This game is not only about looking through a scope, but sometimes you need to go rambo so to find the strategies to minimize those rambo moments....this is what makes the game so fun.

    The levels are also highly replayable with lots of secrets and achievements. Just up the difficulty and at it again. I bought all the DLC involving extra levels and I can tell you it was worth it
    There was even a trophy for sniping the furhers balls off! Needless to say: challenge ACCEPTED. lol

    I had a blast with this game, hundreds of hours of honing my sniping to perfection, learning to place traps at the best places, and how to outsmart the nazi when the **** hit the fan.
    It has been very rewarding. I think many people will miss the finer aspects of this game unless they treat themselves to the higher difficulties, they really add the spice called realism.

    Final word. If you have found enjoyment in any previous SE game (or other sniping games), or just like a challenging strait up action fest then look no further. This game is for you.
    If multiplayer is more your thing, maybe you should go back to BF. SE4 multiplayer is enjoyable (at least coop) but not its strongest asset.

    9/10 -Sniper Elite in its finest form. Buy it!    … Expand

    This may end up being one of the most underrated games of the year. It is a very well made game that is a lot of fun to play. Essentially what happens is, you’re placed on a map and your given objectives to complete. So you have to kill certain people, maybe pick up certain files or maybe there is a person of interest that you have to find.

Essentially what happens is, you’re placed on a map and your given objectives to complete. So you have to kill certain people, maybe pick up certain files or maybe there is a person of interest that you have to find.

    What I really like about this game is the game doesn’t spawn new enemies so if you go through and pick people off. Eventually, there will be no one left on the map. I really enjoyed playing that way, one because it ultimately makes it easier to accomplish objectives and secondly it’s fun to kill people in this game. The shooting feels good.

    The game is called Sniper Elite so obviously, Sniper Rifles are the primary weapon. Now if you’re like me where you like shooting games but don’t care for sniping you don’t have to worry. Something about this game, Sniping is a lot of fun to do. Now I do think I need to be completely honest, I played this game on easy. On the harder difficulties, you have to take into account bullet drop physics, wind and other Physic based mechanics. That’s too hard for me to comprehend so I played on the easiest difficulty where I could line up the reticle, fire and it was a headshot.

    Where this game differentiates itself from any other shooter is its X-Ray Kill Cams. If you’ve played any of the new Mortal Kombat games, you’re probably familiar with the X-Ray moves. It’s a special move where the game zooms into a character, switches to the X-Ray vision and you get to see the bones break and organs pop. This game has its own version of that but with shooting.

    So you can go for a headshot and when you pull the trigger, time slows down and then the camera follows the bullet. When the camera arrives to the person you are shooting, you watch it go through their body so if you go for a headshot, you may see the bullet go through the eye socket or through the top of the head. Maybe if you go for an abdomen shot, you can watch the bullet travel through the intestines or stomach. My personal favorite shot is the testicle shot, I don’t think I need to explain what that is. You can turn off the X-Ray Kill Cams if that sounds unnecessary but its dumb fun. As a matter of fact, by the end of the game, I was thinking about turning it off because I was sick of seeing them.

    I do want to mention quickly the other weapons that you carry. You also have a secondary weapon which starts out as a Tommy Gun. I never switched my secondary weapon at all but that’s because I like the idea of the Tommy Gun. It has a ton of history, I know most of it is on the bad side of history but I still like to honor that history in some weird way. The third weapon is a handgun, you start out with a pistol that does no damage but eventually you do unlock a Revolver. Those are always my favorite video game handgun. It’s like having a mini shotgun. Anyways, the shooting in the game is solid. Even though this is a Sniping game, the shooting feels really good.

    As I said at the beginning of the entry. This game is likely going to go down as one of the most underrated games of 2017. People aren’t going to talk about this game but its a lot of fun. Plus you get to kill Nazi’s. Who doesn’t want that?    … Expand

    Sniper Elite 4 is a real stealth game where you have to think about your next step, approach and path you opt for. You can move freely in the levels and do your tasks your own way (a lot of options) and in any order. Smooth controls and movement. The beautiful environments and kill cam make it really enjoyable to play either.

    Sniper Elite is good, old school fun. A very straightforward game, you are the sniper, sniping people from across the map. That's it, for the entire game, even the last mission is nothing much more than go here and shoot this.

Which in my opinion isn't a problem at all, I love games like this, focused on nothing but the gameplay. The sniping in this game is fantastic, the X-RAY system is always good fun, I just wish there was a bit more too it. The biggest issue with this game is the repetition, which there is just way too much off. Every single mission is essentially the same, whereas in Sniper Elite 3, there was at least some kind of substance too each level. Also, for some reason, there have been changes made too the gameplay, like the removal of sniper nests. Which in my opinion, is the biggest misstep they could have made. Why remove SNIPER nests, in a game called SNIPER ELITE. It makes absolutely no sense, and the game absolutely suffered as a result. It feels like you have FAR less opportunity for long range sniping in Sniper Elite 4, versus all other entries in the series. This game feels MORE like Metal Gear Solid or Assassins Creed, than a proper Sniper game. The game wants you too be more up close and personal this time around, and make us the Welrod, or a pistol with silenced ammo, takedowns, and using equipment. Which I find infuriating, the stealth in this game is awful, I'm constantly spotted from long distances from enemy snipers, often when barely moving, or even attempting too stealth. And enemies have the best sense of sound I've ever seen, and can often spot you near instantly from even 50 meters away. Another major issue is how slow you move while crouched, it's way, way too slow. Slower than just about any other stealth game I've played, which is a problem because the enemies in this game are constantly moving and looking around, like their all hopped on Pervatin or something. The stealth in this game is totally broken. Trying to play stealthy is a waste of time, I found myself blasting my way through the enemies with my sniper rifle, and my secondary weapon far more often than I found myself trying too use stealth. But at the end of the day, this is still a very addicting, and exciting game too play. It's best too play it in small bursts, as the gameplay get's repetitive quickly, but it's still more than worth jumping on and playing.… Expand

    Sniper Elite this time shifts into Italy, in the late phases of the second World War. The game itself can be an arcade shooter without many realistic implements, but it can also be a sniper simulation (not a complete simulation, but a solid one), with the bullet drop effect, wind, also known as the Coriolis effect and enemies are far more experienced and pretty accurate.

This game can be played both stealthy and Rambo style, for both, you choose which equipment do you want to use. At the beginning of every missions, you are given the opportunity to talk to several characters for several side missions scattered throughout the map. The story is okay, there is not many explanations of why you are doing these missions, but it is easy to guess why. After the main story, the great addition to this game are the co-op Overwatch missions, which are far the most enjoyable part of the game (one player is the spotter and serves you as the sniper cover, and one player is the ground player who complete primary missions, without sniper rifles, submachine gun and secondary weapon only). There are many multiplayer modes which are also enjoyable enough to make you play this game even more.

    All in all, a great sniper game worth playing, for both arcade player and drastic sniper veteran players.    … Expand

    Really quite good. The game feels & plays like it's much older than 2017, though. Doesn't impact the fun. It did improve on SE3 in every conceivable way thankfully, so that's really all you can ask for if you're a fan of the series.
