Sniper Elite 4

The third-person aiming is clunky and I found myself preferring to hide, rather than taking on soldiers face-to-face. Much of the campaign can be completed solely by sniping enemies from afar, but there are a few parts where close combat becomes a necessity. I was always pleased when these sections were over quickly. My only other complaint about Sniper Elite 4 is that it’s not a complete package. Three years after initial release, the Switch version arrives with numerous DLC options that require additional purchase – none of which appear to be new content. I’m not completely against DLC, but it feels like players are being nickel-and-dimed here. Fortunately, the core experience is enjoyable enough to look past these minor shortcomings, and more often than not, Sniper Elite 4 hits the bullseye.

Beyond a technical sector with some obvious compromises and not always up to par, the hybrid version of Sniper Elite 4 runs without problems both in docked mode and "on the go". We therefore recommend Sniper Elite 4 to those who have never been able to play it at the time and to those who want to try the experience of the title in portability.

Sniper Elite 4 for Nintendo Switch is a good porting of the original game published in 2017.
