Sniper Elite 5 Reviews
Sniper Elite 5 brings a few improvements to an IP that works well. But after waiting for over 5 years, we would have hoped to see a bit more new stuff, and to be able to enjoy up-to date visuals and animaitons. Still, if you like the series, this journey through France will be quite enjoyable.

Sniper Elite 5 doesn't have anything new to say, but its open-ended missions make for a devilishly enjoyable Nazi-slaying sandbox.
With the fifth installment of the series, Sniper Elite manages to hit the spot. Almost in all cases. For those who are looking, or playing Rambo, there are a few too many flaws to be found. But play calmly and carefully and you'll be rewarded with impressive levels that offer great opportunities to tackle each mission in vastly different ways. This is the opposite of all overly action-packed shooters, and it's exactly what we've been craving.

Sniper Elite 5 is a very good vintage. Complete, generous and really fun in cooperation, the soft ticks all the boxes of the AA nice to be done on occasion.

Sniper Elite 5 is yet another conveyor belt product. The whole concept of a sniper sandbox-game still very fun, but after how great the fourth game was, this one feels like a step back.

Sniper Elite 5 lacks a good plot, interesting storytelling, or a thrilling narrative regarding storyline and pacing, It also suffers from a weak main character with lackluster performance and a graphic level as archaic as if it was released a decade ago, but the gameplay has seen decent improvements regarding the sniping mechanism, the detailed shooting camera for each correct assassination, encouraging the players to indirectly adopt the method of stealth and concealment, and the distinctive design of each stage and absolute freedom in the way to deal with each target.

Invasion Mode is the saving grace in Sniper Elite 5, rescuing a safe sequel that would otherwise be tough to celebrate. With that said, I still need to experience the competitive multiplayer side of things, which could also be a highlight.
Sniper Elite 5 is still a satisfying and spectacularly gross way to shoot Nazis in their nether regions, but it feels like the series needs to start aiming its sights a little higher.
Sniper Elite 5 is a very continuous delivery, both in the good and in the bad, and even with several failures that spoil its image a little, Karl Fairburne's adventure in France is pure fun. And who are we going to lie to: we love watching the kill-cam in slow motion as we tear the Nazi army apart from afar.

A quality step-up for a series that's still short of greatness.
Sniper Elite is a fun game if you play in coop. Alone you will really challenge yourself, and quickly notice the game was meant to be played with a partner. It looks good, but could have been better. The x-ray shots keep on being really cool and during the nine hours the game lasts, you will not get bored easily.

Invasions make the gameplay in Sniper Elite 5 feel fresh, but in other respects it's almost the same game as Sniper Elite 4. This series starts to feel a bit stale, so in the future we'd like to see more innovations than just bigger maps and small gameplay improvements.

Thanks to the foundation built by its predecessor, Sniper Elite 5 is a good entry in the franchise, with large open levels and capable stealth mechanics. While it has several decent multiplayer options, better execution was needed to really hit all targets.
Everyone who loved the previous entry, will surely enjoy this one, that lacks real improvements and innovations

Sniper Elite 5 is a culmination of many years of gameplay systems and development processes being polished to a mirror sheen. Making tremendous strides in both technology and visuals, Sniper Elite 5 can stand amongst the likes of its AAA contemporaries with gorgeous, realistic environments and visuals. Character modelling and animation could still use some refinement and the narrative left something to be desired, though the story thread was enough to provide adequate pacing for the action on screen. If you’re a fan of the series or looking to finally see what all the fuss is about, Sniper Elite 5 is the best the series has ever been.
Even with a few too many technical flaws, Sniper Elite 5 continues to be an enjoyable and fun game, just like the chapters that preceded it. Thanks to the spectacular X-Ray kills, maps designed to be played several times, immediate gameplay and many different modes such as coop and invasions, the Rebellion title can keep the player busy much more than the ten hours required for the sole completion of the campaign.

Sniper Elite 5 makes small attempts at innovation but not enough to stop it from being a fairly safe entrant into the Sniper Elite franchise. The enhanced killcam, extensive weapon customization, and better skill trees help to improve the experience over Sniper Elite 4. Players will undoubtedly have fun roaming the large battlefields of France as long as they can get over the minor bugs, although we could do without those that can stop a playthrough in its tracks. While the standard multiplayer modes and Survival mode will keep players occupied for a while, Invasion mode is what will keep players coming back for more.
When Sniper Elite 5 hits right, it’s every bit the long-range murder simulator sandbox we wanted. When you’re completely in the zone, balancing stealth and precision and executing your plan of attack with utmost excellence, there are few games like it. Sadly, minor issues mount up and can harm your experience and tarnish some of what it does so well. Still, with a refined template, it feels Rebellion is on the verge of a bullseye here.
Sniper Elite 5 reuses a tried-and-tested formula that has made the franchise a hit. Unfortunately, that familiarity can wear thin as you continue to progress. Still, some multiplayer modes might keep you engaged.
Despite its artificial intelligence problems and simple story, Sniper Elite 5 manages to stand out with its fun gameplay and dynamics like XRay.
