Sniper Elite: Resistance Reviews
As someone who hasn’t played the series since the first game, getting to experience how the franchise has changed over the last 20 years and evolved really shows how much Rebellion Developments has put into making a realistic but fun WW2 Sniping experience.
Rebellion knows how to make quality games, even though they didn't even try to bring something new in the latest Sniper Elite: Resistance, rather they wanted to quickly offer a smaller supplement for fans of the series.

A carbon copy of Sniper Elite 5 - it's hard to shake the feeling that two and a half years later you're replaying a game you never intended to return to. I would really like to see a serious evolution of the series - even the once beloved features like X-Ray no longer grab you because at this point they're kinda boring.

Although it doesn't surpass Sniper Elite 5, it tells another story from the same era. At the moment, there's no better alternative where you can prevent the end of the world by clicking on heads. The online options, where you can join other people's games and hunt them down, are quite satisfying. Sniper Elite Resistance manages to live up to its name, neither falling short nor overdoing it.

While the returning sniping and stealth mechanics keep Sniper Elite: Resistance on target across some good open levels, the lack of innovation means it is not a surefire hit for everyone.
Can you destroy the Wunderwaffe before it's too late?
Fans of the series will grit their teeth and play. The rest may suffer, but they will also complete the adventure. However, it's a shame that the developers with Sniper Elite: Resistance didn't decide to make the revolution that the series needs.

Sniper Elite: Resistance's switch of scenery to France proves to be the correct move for the series. Fans of the Sniper Elite series will find plenty to enjoy with this Resistance.
Sniper Elite: Resistance is a fantastic time, with its minor flaws rarely impacting the experience.
Sniper Elite: Resistance disappoints with a derivative, lackluster campaign devoid of innovation, despite the solid sniping gameplay still holding up and the overall longevity. The dated graphics are also a drawback, while the new Propaganda Challenge mode will appeal to more skilled players.

Sniper Elite: Resistance is as enjoyable as any other Sniper Elite game out there and offers the best of all options, especially if you’re new to the series. For those returning from Sniper Elite 5, you may find this a tad disappointing as the game feels very similar and, beyond the campaign, doesn’t offer a whole lot that’s new. That said, between the multiplayer options, the medal upgrades and amount of collectibles per mission, as well as forthcoming DLC you’re going to have a great time here and for a healthy, sustained period of time while you wait for SE6.
Sniper Elite: Resistance doesn't make many changes to the series, but it isn't supposed to. Rebellion's World War II series is about sound, alternative gameplay, and efficient fighting, not Hollywood dramatization. Resistance adheres to that premise but doesn’t do anything extra special to stick out.
Sniper Elite: Resistance offers an enjoyable experience that combines sniping and military tactics in a realistic and thrilling atmosphere. Despite its strengths in environmental design and diverse missions, it suffers from some technical issues that might affect the experience for some players. If you’re a fan of sniper games and enjoy strategic challenges, you’ll find this game worth your attention, while keeping in mind the possibility of encountering a few technical obstacles during gameplay.

Sniper Elite: Resistance is here, and it's not reinventing the wheel. It is the same craft that we've seen, with a more cheerful protagonist, in different locales. But that's not a bad thing, as Rebellion have only striven to improve the head-popping formula that they clearly care about. Another trip back behind enemy lines, Resistance is just as fun as any of the Sniper Elite's before it.
As a spin-off, Sniper Elite: Resistance bears a strong resemblance to the franchise's last main opus. As a result, series regulars are unlikely to feel the same excitement as new players. Especially as the main campaign is rather short and the multiplayer modes will not appeal to everyone. While it's still just as satisfying to pull off precision shots, the rigid gameplay of close-quarters combat is starting to show its age. It's hard, therefore, to fall completely in love with the game, even if I'm convinced that a portion of the community will appreciate it.

While Sniper Elite: Resistance offer the same gameplay hook that we're all accustomed to, it also comes with a bonus of derivative level design and barebones campaign.
Nevertheless, it's hard to escape the impression that Sniper Elite: Resistance is one of the laziest games I've encountered in recent times. It's OK, but nothing more than that - it gives the impression of empty sequel, a production in which neither heart nor passion was put. It's a game created at low cost, just to spend something and make money on fans of the series. Yes, you can have fun with it, but at the same time it disappoints on almost every level.

Sniper Elite: Resistance does not contain too much innovation in comparison to a previous game in this series. Someone can claim that this game is more like expansion than standalone game. SE: Resistance provides a new story with new SOE agent. Alas, used game engine looks little outdated, but game is still quite funny and interesting. For fans of this series it is an instant choice, mostly because SE: Resistance is part of Xbox Game Pass subscription from day one of its release.

Sniper Elite Resistance is yet again a great addition to the series. Hats off to the team over at Rebellion for sticking to what works and building on an already amazing and fun franchise.
Is the game fun? Yes. Is it in any way innovative? No. If you love the series and just want to keep blasting Nazis to kingdom come - then you'll definitely have fun here. But, if you're looking for new and exciting twists to the worn-out formula, you'll be disappointed.
