    Answer: 75 characters is between 10 words and 19 words with spaces included in the character count. If spaces are not included in the character count, then 75 characters is between 12 words and 25 words.

    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.

    Pretty fun game with good stealth elements. Some things needed some additional work but solid overall. The issue is the manipulation in marketing. This is a dishonest company that deserves to be to go bankrupt.

I can't say I did much stealth here; in fact Far Cry 3 felt a lot stealthier! You can sneak and melee finish an enemy, you can throw distracting stones, but the mechanics is very underused, you are not encouraged at all to do it. I was also not motivated to replay the game on harder difficulties; only played on normal. I would have given a higher score if it was not so overpriced. Only get on deep sale.… Expand

    Decent release of Sniper Elite franchise. Best until now. Playing on PS4 was painful because of really terrible frame rate, but on PS5 with 60FPS update quite good game. Authentic difficulty is nice, but AI is bad so it's easy to trick enemy!

    Little too short (18h), enemy animations could been better (u enemy running path and than he stop immediately without physics). I wish there would be more elements to shoot, but without it i have better emotions after SE V1 - feels more like WW2, not some cartoon.

    The game is really amazing. For this type of game, if you like the type, it should have a way better score. There are a lot of improvement since SE3 (which is also a good game)
    But this one is a step higher. Playability is really great, maps are amazing ! You can play in really different atmospheres (night/day, village/military base...) really great ! The music is nice.

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

    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 4 is the loudest game I've ever played. Not in terms of in-game music or sound effects, but in terms of the noise it caused my PS4 fan to whir up whilst playing. It's not the most graphically intensive game I've played. in fact, the textures are pretty low quality, so perhaps badly optimized (it's even loud in the menus).

It's not the most graphically intensive game I've played. in fact, the textures are pretty low quality, so perhaps badly optimized (it's even loud in the menus). But eventually, I had to stop playing it due to how annoying the noise was playing the game (and through fear of my PS4 overheating). Luckily I now have a PS5, so was able to download and play it there instead.

    So Sniper Elite 4 continues the World War 2 theme (despite Sniper Elite V2 setting up the Cold War next, not that I'm complaining), and is now set on a series of fictitious but beautiful Italian Islands. Sticking with Sniper Elite 3's open level design, the levels are pretty and pretty big, with objectives well-spaced, with a decent amount of enemies without being too overwhelming. A risk of this is that in Sniper Elite 3, whilst the open levels were fun to play and allowed for strategy more than linear levels, the levels were forgettable and game narrative was weak. Whereas Sniper Elite V2 had a linear world design which meant a more enclosed and tense syle of gameplay, less ability to play stealthily, and a nicer direction in terms of set design.
    That being said, Sniper Elite 4's levels are pretty (Italy), and fun to play. Whilst there are no stand out levels like there were in Sniper Elite V2, all the levels blend together into an enjoyable experience.

    Something else to mention is each level (after the tutorial levels) there's now pre-levels where you talk to allies and make a call on a radio. I'm not sure the point of these, they feel out of place, and the dialog isn't worth the time.
    The map finally has a zoom option as the levels are so big it's hard to see things otherwise. I kinda wish the zoom worked more like other games (l2/r2 to zoom in and out. Just cycling through square gets annoying if you press one too many times

    SE4 keeps the much-improved controller layout from Sniper Elite 3 (scope aim L2 and sprint L3), and it now has co-op multiplayer.
    Searching corpses takes longer which I'm not a fan of, but it's not game-breaking as there's a fairly decent amount of ammo around so you don't need to search every body.
    There's actually an abundance of bullets in Sniper Elite 4, which I was thankful for. In previous games you really had to save every bullet which meant gunfights with a lot of enemies were a nightmare. Conserving ammo is good for a true stealth game, but some gunfights were unavoidable scripted missions in previous games. This time around there's only 1 or two big gunfights and I didn't run out of ammo once. However silenced ammo is rare, and so for a lot of kills, you're still going to need to rely on sound masking and close-ranged kills. I think this is fair.
    Sniper Elite 4 doesn't seem to have many opportunities to sound mask. So this meant I spent the majority of the game with the silenced pistol instead of the sniper rifle, I also didn't realize there was an option for switching to silenced sniper ammo until a few levels in, but there are so few silenced bullets that you can only save them for situations you cant approach closely.

    I'm sad Sniper Elite 4 still omits the cover mechanic that existed in Sniper Elite V2. Whilst the game is still fun to play without it, I really enjoyed it in Sniper Elite V2 and had hoped for its return.

    SE4 also keeps manual saves and loads in addition to checkpoints which is much appreciated after the frustrations of Sniper Elite V2's few-and-far-between checkpoints. However within 15 minutes of playing SE4 the auto save put me in the middle of a death scene, and so anytime I restarted checkpoint I was imminently dead. Then later in the game an auto checkpoint save put me falling off a cliff so anytime I reloaded checkpoint I'd fall again. It'd be nice if the auto checkpoints didnt save when you're about to die, or only occurred if you didn't die in the next 30 seconds. Another reason to take advantage of manual saves which I took full advantage of from that point on.

    This time around there's wall-climbing mechanics. The game adds more rooftop traversal than in any previous game, allowing for climbing ladders, and jumping between balconies and rooftops, making the game feel much more like assassins creed or hitman than before.

    Something new in SE4 is bullet range adjustment. Now you can adjust the range of your sniper rifle for shots. I played with this in the first level, but then realized you can't really aim past 200 meters as the empty lung shots don't give you the red crosshairs past that point anyway so it's nearly impossible to make the shot regardless. I'm not sure I like this change but after setting the range on 200m I didn't bother changing it again, as it's fine for 100m shots too, and with the empty lung shots you are pretty much guaranteed a bullseye anyway.    … Expand
