  • Summary: As part of a covert US Rangers operation to weaken the Atlantikwall fortifications along the coast of Brittany, Karl makes contact with the French Resistance. Soon they uncover a secret Nazi project that threatens to end the war before the Allies can even invade Europe: Operation Kraken.As part of a covert US Rangers operation to weaken the Atlantikwall fortifications along the coast of Brittany, Karl makes contact with the French Resistance. Soon they uncover a secret Nazi project that threatens to end the war before the Allies can even invade Europe: Operation Kraken. It's Karl's mission to take out the high-ranking Nazi officers and end Operation Kraken once and for all. Based upon real world locations from France in 1944, the new game maps are the largest and most immersive in the franchise's history with the new traversal system offering players an even greater sandbox of options when it comes to taking out their targets. You can even invite a friend to help you on your mission with enhanced cooperative gameplay options.… Expand

    If you’ve played previous Sniper Elite games, you already know if you’re going to like Sniper Elite 5. If you haven’t, I can’t recommend it enough, as well as the previous entries. The quality is consistent all the way back to the first entry, and it’s a ton of fun. Don’t forget to check out the Nazi Zombie Army games as well. As I mentioned at the beginning of the review, Rebellion knows the meaning of “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”, and they’ve used that to pump out a series of great games.

    It’s easy to get lost exploring the giant maps in Rebellion’s Sniper Elite 5, and it’s been a while since I’ve played a game where I lost track of time. The collecting part leaves something to be desired, but the co-op and invasion gameplay modes more than make up for that.

    Sniper Elite 5 is unmissable for anyone with even a passing interest in stealth games.

    Sniper Elite 5 is the best one yet. It still has some technical issues, like the messy AI and it can be hard sometimes, but it’s still a lot of fun and probably enough to make both hardcore fans and newcomers happy. It’s a blast.

    Everyone who loved the previous entry, will surely enjoy this one, that lacks real improvements and innovations.

    Sniper Elite 5 is a culmination of many years of gameplay systems and development processes being polished to a mirror sheen. Making tremendous strides in both technology and visuals, Sniper Elite 5 can stand amongst the likes of its AAA contemporaries with gorgeous, realistic environments and visuals. Character modelling and animation could still use some refinement and the narrative left something to be desired, though the story thread was enough to provide adequate pacing for the action on screen. If you’re a fan of the series or looking to finally see what all the fuss is about, Sniper Elite 5 is the best the series has ever been.

    Sniper Elite 5 is a bad game, in part thanks to boring maps, lackluster graphics and a non-existent story, but most of all because of its fundamentally flawed AI that takes all the fun out of stealth and sniping.

    Juego divertido y con gráficos mejorados que supera a sus predecesores de PS3 y PS4.

    Tremendous stealth em up. Hitman WW2, only without costumes, fewer scripted events, but more guns.

    Not much has really improved in SE5 at all other than authentic mode, multiplayer is utter trash invasion mode is plagued with cheaters whoNot much has really improved in SE5 at all other than authentic mode, multiplayer is utter trash invasion mode is plagued with cheaters who can spam your location even before invasion phones are able to be used. Personally invasion phones are pointless and so are all of the easy modes as I beat the game on authentic an that is the best way to get your money out of the game.

    Anything multiplayer that isn't no cross is pretty much people running around and SMG-ing everyone


    Its like they really don't care about making anything actually fun in multiplayer why even add it into the damn game if you're not going to really invest any actually talent into making maps or flusbing out some good sniping maps.

    We buy a stupid clone year after year of a game and you give us stupid multiplayer and cheesy invasion mode that you ruin either by over thinking it as in invasion mode or utterly doing nothing as in multiplayer.

    Even survival mode is stupid as hell its pretty much defend a HQ and survive an the only point of the HQ is for ammo and medical care.

    Even in the stupid campaign their are way to many collectibles and bugs that still aren't patched.

    I'm really getting tired of buying games either filled with cheaters and or being bugged all to hell in back. Rebellion clearly just pushes out a mediocre campaign an weak multiplayer for a quick cash grab.

    Its time they let Karl die off and actually do something new other than giving us new missions each release or some stupidass zombie game whoch is more than played out by now they have absolutely zero creative talent or thinking skills.    … Expand

    Just spent a considerable amount of time writing an extremely long review but it wouldn't post so here's a quick one.

    The game is okay as    Just spent a considerable amount of time writing an extremely long review but it wouldn't post so here's a quick one.

    The game is okay as long as you never ever use your sniper rifle but that's why I bought it and I'm mad. The domino of consequence, should anyone be allergic to your presence is very harsh. But it's almost impossible to go unnoticed using your sniper rifle    … Expand

Played Sniper Elite 3 and 4 to completion and has so much fun. 5 I spent 2 frustrating hours on my PS5 and sold the game. The game appears to be open, like the previous versions, but is very much a corridor shooter. And the default controller configuration is very different and unintuitive. Skip this one.… Expand

    Worst installment of the franchise by a long mile. Gameplay is brutal and no fun at all. The AI in this game is comically bad. Fancy new genWorst installment of the franchise by a long mile. Gameplay is brutal and no fun at all. The AI in this game is comically bad. Fancy new gen of gaming consoles and the first Sniper Elite game on them is an absolute BUST. I wish Matacritic let you give negative scores, how could the people working on this game let this happen?… Expand
