    Sniper Elite 4
    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
    I Give Sniper Elite 4
    a 7.5/10

    Entrega que recicla muchas cosas de la tercera parte y que no me ha llegado a entusiasmar del todo.

    Completado en cooperativo en dificultad Tirador (Normal) para disfrutar y pasarlo bien, es simplemente un paseo, puedes ir corriendo por enormes calles abiertas repletas de enemigos que sobrevivirás sin problema. Las ejecuciones cuerpo a cuerpo están simplemente rotas y puedes llegar a pasarte un nivel entero a cuchillo. Mi compañero y yo simplemente íbamos a lo loco modo Rambo ON disparando a todo lo que se movía y rara vez era la que teníamos que reanimarnos si jugábamos con cabeza.

    La campaña dura muy poco (unas 5h entre dos personas muriendo unas cuantas veces por tonterías). Sobre la historia, no puedo opinar porque la mitad de las secuencias ni le prestábamos atención, pero supongo que en la línea de la saga.

    Recalcar que en Xbox One y Xbox One S cuando apuntas con la mira del francotirador en secciones con densa vegetación el frame-rate baja a cifras insospechados (hablamos de 15-20 fps tranquilamente), aunque el resto del juego va más o menos fluído salvo en zonas con muchos elementos en el entorno.

    Recomendado para pasar el rato, pero nada del otro mundo.

    Es muy repetitivo ya después del 3 escenario, lo mejor son los paisajes y el control del juego.

    It’s fun shooting fascists in the head for a while but this game just gets stale fast.

    The game might have been able to keep my interest with a better story and characters. Or by changing the gameplay with either shorter, more concise levels or with a much larger sandbox, because as it stands the limited sandbox gets stale too quickly.

    Хороший но скудный сюжет. Геймлей достаточно интересный, вообщем и целом игра получилась хорошей. Жду продолжение, надеюсь геймплей немного разнообразят.

    I usually love World War 2 games, but something about this one just felt really hallow. I know that's not really the case, the semi-open world gives you so many ways to approach an objective, but that doesn't change the fact that the best tactic is to sit somewhere far away and one shot kill everyone. The AI doesn't seem good enough to engage the player at a distance, and the environmentsI usually love World War 2 games, but something about this one just felt really hallow.

The AI doesn't seem good enough to engage the player at a distance, and the environments are made specifically with sniping in mind, so most of the time it just feels like a low-stakes shooting range.

    It's slicker than a blood-drenched balcony and the dev's best fascist-smasher yet. [April 2017, p.82]

    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.

    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.
