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

    Enjoyed this game alot, played the majority of the campaign in co op mode which is seamless. Invasions is a highlight of this game most definitely. It is in many ways what you may have come to expect from SE games set in new areas with gameplay and graphical improvements. Though for some it not might be the jump you are hoping for it is still a great step forward for the series.

    Good-
    Stealth mechanics are amazing. The gameplay systems are pretty impressive and the AI is pretty good. Sniping is as satisfying as ever. Gory X-Ray kill cams. Gunplay is improved from SE4. Level design is amazing (very similar to hitman). Maps are large and varied. Great amount of freedom in how to tackle objectives. Each map is brimming with side content, optional objectives,    Good-

    Bad-
    Story and writing are extremely underwhelming. The game does not look great. It definitely needed a bigger budget cause the game lags behind in graphics. The progression system feels bland and uninspired.

    Thoughts-
    Sniper Elite has been steadily building up to greatness over the last few installments, and with this newest game, it comes as close to achieving that stature as it ever has been. In fact, if we approach it purely from a design and mechanical perspective, even the somewhat less engaging combat and other fringe issues don’t really detract from the fact that it pretty much has achieved those lofty ambitions at this point. While Sniper Elite 5 does have some issues, the core gameplay and design are so incredibly engaging and consistently responsive to the player, it very much stands as one of the better stealth experiences in recent years, and easily as the best Sniper Elite game to date.

    Oh, and the sniping feels pretty darn good, too.    … Expand

    Seeing this game getting such a low user score is non sense.
    I've been enjoying it a lot so far (mission 7)
    It has nice graphics, smooth gameplay, a variety of play styles, AI is pretty nice (imo the best I've seen in a while), ...
    Story and cutscenes are pretty average and do not add a lot to the game.
    Sometimes a bit linear and invisible walls.

    I score it an 8/10.

    There are some great improvements in Sniper Elite 5, most notably with the weapon customisation, introduction of the invasion mode and the new and improved kill cam system. The intricate and accurate detail of the environment and the way that you traverse through them are also very impressive.

    I was not expecting much from the trailers, i was expecting pretty much the same game just in a different place, but man am i glad i got this game (I was wrong). The changes to the bullet ballistics, gfx upgrades, and new game modes really sold it to me after the fact. I am a history nerd so I thought that it was pretty cool that they didnt censor this release like they have in previousI was not expecting much from the trailers, i was expecting pretty much the same game just in a different place, but man am i glad i got this game (I was wrong). The changes to the bullet ballistics, gfx upgrades, and new game modes really sold it to me after the fact. I am a history nerd so I thought that it was pretty cool that they didnt censor this release like they have in previous titles (Swatikas, SS, etc) The story is quite interesting and each mission has tons of objectives to complete on huge maps that you can tackles in a non-linear way. You can spend over an hour on each mission on the easiest difficulty or fly right through them (your choice). There is also custom difficulty, say you want authentic bullet ballistics but you want full hud; you can do that. The Axis Invasion is probably my favorite part of this game. I wont spoil it for anyone but make sure you turn it on before starting your missions ;). This feature is EASILY the best feature in the new release and should be a staple in the franchise from here on out. I am a long time veteran since v2 and i have got to say that this is my favorite game yet! I really hope to see another release sooner than before (5 years) but if i have to wait, i will and thats okay.… 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!
