    The game is held back by poor balancing that renders the silenced pistol the most effective weapon, the truly awful AI that seems to actively try to not detect you even if you run in front of them, and a lack of worthwhile activities to play outside of the main campaign.

    Sniper Elite 4 continues the style that has worked very well for Rebellion Developments on the previous releases in the series, but providing new elements that improve the gameplay. Unfortunately, it is not too innovative and some technical aspects of the game such as physics and the Artificial Intelligence should be more polished.

    The latest installment in the Sniper Elite series is better looking than ever. On the other hand the gameplay feels a bit uninspired, mainly due to lack of realism and a really silly plot.

    Gameplay Freedom
    Sniper Elite 4 is a 3rd person shooter where you play as the sniper Karl Fairburne in World War 2 hunting down Nazis…
    And you don’t even have to play like a sniper...
    Sniper elite 4 features 8 missions total and are all set in a different open sandbox with optional objectives and intel to collect along with your main objective and targets…
    These missions last anywhere from 20 minutes up to an hour depending on how you play and if you choose to ignore the optional stuff..
    It took me around 7 an a half hours to get to the credits…
    There are various difficulty settings here that not only effect the damage enemies do, but also affect how sniping works.. so for those 360 no scope pros, sniper elite will give you a great challenge as you calculate drops and wind…
    I’m not one of those people…
    You have the option to find a vantage point, pull out your binoculars, mark your targets and pick them off..
    But with too much noise they’ll be able to triangulate your position, so it’s important to move...
    sneaking through the shadows and bushes…
    calculating and planning every move…
    sneaking up behind enemies and stealth killing them
    Holding your breath, lining up the shots for a slow mo x ray vision kill
    Or you can play like I did and throw all caution to the wind…
    Sniping people without a care who hears or sees you… pulling out your assault rifle if too many enemies surround you...
    loot their bodies for more ammo, medkits, and grenades... swap weapons…
    just having a blast destroying enemies on these maps and completing objectives
    My favorite part about this game is that it doesn’t punish you if youre not about that sniper life..
    You can play this game any and every way you want...
    And the maps change up enough to keep the game feeling fresh... it never drags out…
    the overall campaign though feels like its lacking a bit of knowledge...
    the story feels like no effort was put into it... and the most interesting possible target for a world war 2 game, adolf hitler, was reserved for pre orderers.. So if you’re a smart gamer and actually wait for reviews... you don’t get the only target whos even a little interesting…
    Its going to run you about $10 in the playstation store, so I highly recommend you make a statement by waiting for a sale before you pick up sniper elite 4 and its dlc…
    This is a really fun campaign, but this greed level from the publisher is too high.
    There isn’t just single player here though...
    You can also play co-op in the story, survival mode, or scout and sniper mode... as well as play competitive modes online...
    These modes are about as fun as youd think a bunch of snipers running around a large map trying to snipe eachother could be..
    High paced and full of action... just kidding... nothing happens... hardly anyone plays... waste of the developers time…
    Sniper Elite 4 isnt a shooter oyu buy to play online.. This game shines in its open sandbox styled missions
    I just wish these missions were a bit more interesting

The new Melee and stealth X-Ray kill cam system is fantastic, it adds a new exiting element to the game. Also the European WWII atmosphere is a welcome return to the game. All is all, Sniper Elite 4 is a another hit in my book. The game is smooth and the lighting is fantastic. And it is always a blast to blow up a truck with a single bullet from 500 meters away!… Full Review »

I love this game so much and am very glad I got it. Sniper Elite 4 has many fun missions where you actually need to be stealthy to win best. It feels very realistic and fun. The DLC for it called "Target Fuhrer" is a very good addition. Totally worth an extra $10 to kill Adolf Hitler. This game is highly recommended to anyone who likes shooters.… Full Review »
