Sniper Elite: Resistance delivers satisfying World War II stealth‑sniping action and solid tactical level design rooted in the series’ familiar formula, but critics note it offers little innovation beyond its predecessors while still providing tense, replayable encounters.

The 12th and latest entry in the franchise, Sniper Elite: Resistance doesn't break the wheel by any means, but it does exactly what it needs to.
Sniper Elite: Resistance is a solid stealth-based shooter, but it fails to set its sights high enough in order to pull off a truly spectacular execution.
Sniper Elite: Resistance is a fun but inessential addition to the franchise.
Sniper Elite: Resistance may not innovate much on the series' standard blueprint, but it's still a challenging, rewarding, and deeply satisfying adventure.
With dense missions, gorgeous environments, a clever new mode in Propaganda, and a likeable new protagonist, it’s a solid entry in a fantastic series. But it doesn’t do anything new: this is the same shooting and sneaking as it has been for almost a decade now, and Hawker alone doesn’t bring enough to help Resistance stand out as anything more than just more Sniper Elite.
A case of evolution rather than revolution, Sniper Elite: Resistance uses what came before to create something that's familiar, but consistently fun and occasionally tense. Plentiful collectibles and unlocks throughout the campaign, and a fantastic invasion mode, ensure this will last long past the final mission.
Rebellion's sixth Sniper Elite entry is still a fun Nazi-destroying simulator, though this feels like the last one that can get by on rolling out the same, largely unchanged formula.
Quintessentially "more of the same" it may be, Sniper Elite: Resistance's intricate level design proves that's anything but a detriment.
