    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

    I can't continue playing this game. It is almost like they forgot to make the game revolve around sniping and long distances. This is a ton of hallways and room to room combat There is no way you can engage without an alarm going off or being spotted then it's time to take o like 10 guys at once which nukes the immersion.

The ai just has too sensitive hearing for you to get away with anything. Just feels like they corrupted the main snipey stealth factor that made these games fun. At the very least they should let you start off with all available suppressors If the ai are going to be this touchy . get ready to fight off 8 to ten guys at once with a **** cover system. not fun… Expand

    Not 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

    Worst of the series by far. A trudge through unimaginative areas, poor games design and buggy AF. How they made it actually unpleasant to play after SE4 is a mystery...so disappointed

    FULL OF BUGS! Just cant keep playing it. I had to repeat two different levels because I was no able to exfiltrate at the end. The 3rd time I just throw the game away.

    Besides, the sniper make so much NOISE that you are not able to use it.

    Just a rehash of SE4 and the multiplayer is already a dumpster fire with PC cheaters ruining the experience for everyone. Turn off crossplay and you lock out Xbox which means there are very few lobbies you can play in. If Rebellion's history is anything to go by, they will do nothing about the cheaters. Time to go play a better quality game I think.

    Feels unfinished per usual in todays gaming world. Enemy AI detecting is feels clunky and broken. Wait for a sale.

    First of all: I love Karl's assignments in Africa (part 3) and Italy (part 4) and so I was very pleasured when part 5 was announced.... But what the hell was Rebellion thinking here?! Although the individual areas are larger- but they are mostly unsuitable for "stealth play". In France, our "super agent" can only walk the paths specified by the developer – get over a knee-high wall? –NoFirst of all: I love Karl's assignments in Africa (part 3) and Italy (part 4) and so I was very pleasured when part 5 was announced....

In France, our "super agent" can only walk the paths specified by the developer – get over a knee-high wall? –No way ! And in addition to the catastrophic topography (especially in villages/cities hardly find any hiding places) comes the sometimes INSANE amount of enemies. Rebellion should have focused on the strengths of the last parts and consistently continued them in France instead of chasing the multiplayer trend. The only thing that is the same in the new part as in the parts from 2014 + 2017 is the graphics quality (even though I played the new part on PS5!)

    Enemies are so bullet spongy and they will spot you through a wall half a mile away. Using your sniper is almost pointless in the 5th game of a series called Sniper Elite, make it make sense. I don't know how you found a way to take a step back with the franchise the way you did with this game. Hopefully some updates give this game the CPR it needs.

    a considerable amount of things are worse than they were for 4, and only a few things are any better. It looks much better but its a new generation. This company still uses manipulation tactics, so they can steal peoples money. AVOID!

    Horrible graphics that are very clearly downgraded from the trailer, horribly paced and confusing story, crappy gameplay, janky controls, and infinitely spawning enemies make this game nowhere near worth the $60 they’re asking. This game is a joke and clearly the end for sniper elite. It’s obvious they have nothing left to offer.

    New game engine and horrible gamely compared to previous versions. 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.

    Very bad! After Sniper Elite 4 was quite good and enjoyable I expected a lot form SE5! But, game is worse than SE4 in any way you can imagine (except gfx).

    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 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?

    I enjoyed SE4, but rage quit this game in level 2. It doesn't know what it wants to be. It basically feels like having the low resources of Agent 47 from Hitman, but then you're thrown into a level from Call of Duty. Do you want me to shoot everything that moves? In which case, give me the tools to do so, including a proper aim mechanic. Or do you want me to stealth my way through, inI enjoyed SE4, but rage quit this game in level 2.

Or do you want me to stealth my way through, in which case don't put 25 guards in one hallway. The graphics are top-level PS3/bottom level PS4, yet I'm playing the PS5 version.

    The graphic is acceptable, but the cut scenes aren't worthy of a ps5 game. The weapons are ok but the stealth mode is practically impossible, you'll be discovered immediately even if you use the sniper from a long distance. Almost impossible to start a full-sniper mission, you have to move in small zones and you have to use the silenced guns. The final mission is embarrassing, no other words necessary.    … Expand

    Sniper Elite 5 features the same great stealth combat that fans of the series have come to adore, even if its story and all guns blazing approach leave a lot to be desired. A few new upgrades like Axis Invasion mode and enhanced weapon customisation are welcome additions, making killing Nazis still damn fun.

    Bigger than ever, Sniper Elite 5 is a refreshingly direct and enjoyable stealth shooter with a multiplayer mode that elevates it to new heights. [Issue#16, p.126]

    Sniper Elite 5 does everything the previous installations did, except it does them better, in new and updated graphics. What are you waiting for? Get sniping!
