Sniper Elite 4 is the next game in the award-winning, chart-topping shooter series for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Sniper Elite 4 PS4 combines genre-defining ballistics, breathless emergent stealth, and gripping third person action across the largest and most diverse environments ever seen in a Sniper Elite game. Features:Beautiful new 1943 Italian setting: The most diverse environments ever seen in a Sniper Elite or WW2 game including mountains, valleys, beaches, forests, fishing villages, monasteries, Nazi fortresses, and much much more.
Campaign levels are gargantuan; the smallest level is 3 x bigger than the largest level in Sniper Elite 3! Each intricate environment can take many hours to play, with side objectives, secrets, hundreds of enemies and the longest shots in Sniper Elite history. New and brutal X-ray Kill Cams for trap kills, shrapnel kills and melee takedowns. And the acclaimed rifle X-ray kill cams make a welcome return with an eye-watering visual overhaul.
New tactical traversals: Elite covert agent Karl Fairburne can now climb and traverse bridges, ledges, roofs, drain-pipes and more, allowing him to get the drop on enemies from any angle. New tactical takedowns: Combined with new traversal abilities, Karl Fairburne can now kill enemies silently with a suite of new takedowns, whether hiding in cover, or hanging from the side of a Viaduct. New co-op and adversarial modes, including the first ever 4-player co-op mode in a ‘mainline’ Sniper Elite game.
More freedom, weapons, customisation, enemy types and much more. Every aspect of the Sniper Elite series has been expanded or improved, offering a breath taking sense of freedom and gameplay choice.
Sniper Elite 4 is the best sniping game I’ve ever played, and is absolutely the high point of the series. This is a perfect example of what can be achieved if a developer understands what their game’s potential is, and never stops working towards it. Rebellion has made huge leaps forward with every new entry in this series, and they’ve finally reached a point where the results are flat-out incredible. I can only imagine the great things they’ll accomplish in the future.
If you prefer your shooters to be more methodical or enjoy taking out enemies with pinpoint accuracy rather than just blindly rushing into skirmishes, Sniper Elite 4 will delight your trigger finger. Whether you’re a long-time series fan or someone just who wants to test their sniping skills, Sniper Elite 4 hits its target.
With a revamped stealth system, improved AI, and massive sandbox-style levels, Sniper Elite 4 is hands-down the best game in the series.
We’ve missed the WWII theatre, and Sniper Elite 4 is a rollicking good reason to get back to Nazi-blasting. Story isn’t amazing, but the joy of stealth-sniping – particularly in co-op – is Reich on target. [April 2016, p74]
Sniper Elite 4 is a well-rounded experience that delivers on multiple fronts. The campaign is flexible and full of satisfying objectives, and I enjoyed jumping into missions with a friend. The unique collection of competitive multiplayer modes rounds out Sniper Elite 4, giving shooting fans a game that’s worth a look despite its flaws.
Sniper Elite 4 is a good TPS, that has the guilty to not improve a lot from the previous chapter: sniping is good but the mechanics are always the same; on the other hand, the map and the exploration are quite good.
Sniper Elite 4 is a game for stealth enthusiasts. Setting up the perfect kill from a huge distance after sneaking past a base full of Nazi soldiers feels rewarding and earned. However, the scenarios fall flat, and the scope of the game is fairly limited. Attempts to offer more options and extend its lifespan don’t really pay off, but it’s still satisfying to shoot someone’s eye out.
