Jan 27, 2025Sniper Elite: Resistance is here, and it's not reinventing the wheel. It is the same craft that we've seen, with a more cheerful protagonist, in different locales. But that's not a bad thing, as Rebellion have only striven to improve the head-popping formula that they clearly care about. Another trip back behind enemy lines, Resistance is just as fun as any of the Sniper Elite's before it.
-
Jan 27, 2025Sniper Elite Resistance is hilarious, chaotic fun. I encourage players to jump in — with a plan or otherwise — and just see how things play out in Rebellion’s expertly-crafted sandbox. Experiment, take risks, and above all else: fight the Nazis.

Jan 27, 2025Sniper Elite: Resistance offers some fantastic locations to allow you to play however you want thanks to exciting missions and gameplay.
-
Apr 8, 2025Sniper Elite: Resistance is easier and more fun-focused than past games. The shift is welcome, avoiding tedious repetition in more accessible difficulty modes.
-
Feb 13, 2025It's not that Resistance is impossible to resist but this war machine has been finely honed over several instalments and offers a thrilling if predictable ride.
-
Feb 3, 2025Sniper Elite: Resistance is a good addition to the series with tons to do. A stealthy approach is just as valid as going in guns blazing, how it pans out is down to you. The x-ray gore porn also returns for those that find it amusing. Yes, even the testicle shot. *sigh*
-
Jan 29, 2025Sniper Elite: Resistance doesn't break new ground for the Sniper Elite franchise, nor does it break new ground for the stealth-action genre. But those weren't its intentions. What Sniper Elite: Resistance did intend to do was provide another fun, complete Sniper Elite experience that stays true to the aspects of the series fans have come to love, and it achieves exactly that.
-
Jan 28, 2025Sniper Elite: Resistance delivers more of the excellent tactical stealth shooting action that Sniper Elite 5 boasted three years ago. It might be a familiar experience, but for genre fans, it's still an easy recommendation.
-
Jan 27, 2025There is nothing particularly revolutionary about Sniper Elite: Resistance, but games don't always need to do that to be good. This is a fun game that serves as a window to an important part of history, and if you enjoyed Sniper Elite 5, you will most definitely love this. If you are new to the franchise, I highly recommend giving this a go if you crave that tactical espionage fix typically associated with classic Metal Gear. Just remember: headshots only.

Jan 27, 2025Let’s be real here. Sniper Elite: Resistance clearly doesn’t reinvent the series, as it simply expands on where Sniper Elite 5 left off. Those looking for a full fledged next-generation sequel will surely be disappointed, but those looking to play more Sniper Elite will rejoice at the small refinements introduced in this new package. Viva la Sniper Elite 5.5!
-
Jan 27, 2025Sniper Elite: Resistance's switch of scenery to France proves to be the correct move for the series. Fans of the Sniper Elite series will find plenty to enjoy with this Resistance.
-
Jan 27, 2025Sniper Elite: Resistance may not innovate much on the series' standard blueprint, but it's still a challenging, rewarding, and deeply satisfying adventure.
-
Jan 27, 2025If you are someone, like me, who adored Sniper Elite 5 and are simply after more of the engrossing, visceral, and malleable stealth and sniping action provided by it, then you can’t go wrong with Sniper Elite: Resistance. It delivers a robust, ultra-replayable campaign that still has me hooked and a bevy of multiplayer modes if you want to dabble further after you’ve shattered all the skulls the campaign has to offer.
-
Jan 27, 2025A case of evolution rather than revolution, Sniper Elite: Resistance uses what came before to create something that's familiar, but consistently fun and occasionally tense. Plentiful collectibles and unlocks throughout the campaign, and a fantastic invasion mode, ensure this will last long past the final mission.
-
Jan 27, 2025Packed with that familiar caliber of intriguing level design and emergent gameplay, Sniper Elite: Resistance may not be the most radical of changes, but it undoubtedly makes up for it in its retaining the series’ joyous curating of tactile shots and careful planning alike.
-
Jan 27, 2025Sniper Elite: Resistance is a solid, but very consistent, game. The series' shooter formula continues to perform well, but it's true that it needs a change of scenery and improvements to its mechanics. This game is recommended for new/older fans of the series, but not for those looking for changes.
-
Jan 27, 2025Sniper Elite: Resistance delivers satisfying sniper gameplay with diverse tactical approaches, though the story is negligible and the campaign lacks variety. While the improved X-Ray Killcam impresses, limited movement and technical issues occasionally break immersion.
-
Feb 2, 2025Rebellion delivers a polished but conservative entry that feels more like an expansion than a full sequel, keeping its enjoyable mix of stealth, action, and exploration intact. While the core gameplay remains satisfying with large maps and flexible approaches to missions, the lack of innovation and graphical improvements makes it feel like Sniper Elite 5.5 rather than a true step forward.
-
Feb 13, 2025The Sniper Elite franchise itself is a whole lot of fun and a very different take on the World War era than most first-person shooter games. With the freedom to tackle each mission in whichever way you want, not to mention that it is already on Game Pass for Xbox and PC players, you have no reason not to jump in, have some fun, and shoot some Nazis in the testicles.
-
Feb 6, 2025Sniper Elite: Resistance doesn’t bring much innovation to the long-running series. While the solid level design and excellent sniping mechanics keep it fun, the familiar formula is starting to feel stale after so many entries.
-
Jan 29, 2025Sniper Elite: Resistance is a reasonable continuation of the franchise, its sniping highs remain as amusing as ever thanks to some neat environmental gameplay, but much of its content rehashes what came before instead of evolving the series concept for a true next-gen sequel.
-
Jan 27, 2025Sniper Elite: Resistance offers up just as much, if not more than Sniper Elite 5 did. But despite a new campaign, a new story and a new protagonist, it still doesn't take enough steps to right any of the notable wrongs from Sniper Elite 5. But regardless of its shortcomings, Sniper Elite: Resistance is a fun and satisfying shooter. Just don't expect it to do much more than the previous games.
-
Jan 27, 2025Though Sniper Elite: Resistance ranks somewhat lower on the scale of games in the long-running franchise thanks to small bugs and a milquetoast campaign and protagonist, engaging in some sandbox Nazi-killing is still as fun as it’s ever been. From every viscerally satisfying shot that can sail through a Nazi’s skull to the hectic gunfights that hectically erupt across the battlefield, what remains as stellar as ever is the high-octane action. The game is bolstered by the emphasis on replayability with the quality of additional game modes and the fact it’s a side-offering to the main Sniper Elite narrative, leaving it a fitting venture for newcomers and veteran Nazi slayers. No matter who you are, Sniper Elite: Resistance is an action shooter game worth your time because, and say it with me, all Nazis must die.
