With bigger environments and far more details than sniper elite 3, we are witnessing great progress in all aspects in sniper elite 4 but Repetitive levels prevent it from becoming a great game. Sniper elite 4 is a Beautifull game which becomes so boring after a few hours of play.

If you're a longtime fan of the series, or just someone looking for a top-notch sniping experience without having to wade into competitive multiplayer, we can't think of any reason to skip out on Sniper Elite 4.

If you can get past the horrible AI, boring level design and the repetitive gameplay loop; you may find a barely functioning video game. Nothing more, nothing less.

With Sniper Elite 4, Rebellion Studio may satisfy some of the fans of the series but compared to Sniper Elite III, This game has so many little improvements. Although the maps are bigger and kill cams are more violent the story, character modelling and music are weak and these issues prevent the game to be a great one. If we put aside the weak points, the way you can finish the levels and great weapons, make the game worth finishing at least once.

Paired with some custom difficulty settings, and players can seriously crank up the adrenaline in this title. A lack of depth in character progression and weapon variety, coupled with a stagnant and unimaginative competitive multiplayer element hold the game back, but it’s still one of the best entries in the series so far.

Sniper Elite 4 takes everything that worked on previous games and bumps it up a notch, deepening the gameplay and widening the distance while keeping the core of the franchise intact. It's an example of how to evolve a franchise over time.

Sniper Elite 4 is a fun and rewarding shooter and now with the addition of open world, it offers multiple possibilities in approaching each enemy encounter.

The game succeeds in delivering the feeling of being a sniper undertaking missions through its wide levels, and the well-suited sniping and stealth for the game world. There is a huge variety in where and how to finish each mission, and many options that affect your playstyle. However, the weak story, samey missions - especially the side missions - and some development flaws affect the overall experience. I recommend the game for shooter or stealth game fans, and I recommend even more to play the co-op campaign mode with a friend.

Sniper Elite 4 focuses on a handful of things that it does very well, and the overall experience is one that I enjoyed. This is a more thoughtful, slower burning pace than the typical shooter, though it is punctuated by moments of intense action that stand out more because they are highlights and not a constant drone of gunfire and running. That being said, the series on the whole has room to grow and is probably overdue to put some more effort into its story and perhaps add a few more wrinkles to the overall gameplay as well.

Sniper Elite's argument is irrelevant and forgettable, its characters are poorly developed and the general appearance of the game is deficient;however, an outstanding level design and well implemented mechanics create a favorable and enjoyable game experience

Rebellion has built upon their winning Sniper Elite 3 formula. And although this newest installment is nearly brilliant, it ultimately misses the bullseye to make it a truly great shot.

Perfection eludes it due to the small amount of screen-tearing and somewhat repetitive sub-objectives, but Sniper Elite 4 is essential for the armchair sniper out there looking for their next sure-fire hit.

Sniper Elite 4 is a solid entry to the series that's stuck to its guns (pun intended) by not tampering with the formula laid out by its predecessor, but has instead built upon and improved everything that made it so great. Rebellion has delivered a true next gen sandbox shooter that looks fantastic, plays well and should keep fans of the long-distance kill entertained for some time to come.

Despite the similar formula to previous games, I'm feeling absolutely no franchise fatigue after hours of playing Sniper Elite 4. Every aspect of the game benefits from the change in setting and devotion to current generation hardware.

The Sniper Elite series has always been an interesting red-headed step-child off to the side of the FPS genre...

Sniper Elite 4 performs well overall on the Nintendo Switch and provides an opportunity to play the game on the go. There are no noticeable technical issues, and shooting enemy soldiers with perfectly-placed lung shots is still enjoyable. The Joy-Cons are not ideal for lining up each shot due to the twitchy nature, but they don't hold back an overly enjoyable experience.

Sniper Elite 4 is going to be a favorite for those who love shooting through a rifle scope. It cleverly injected strategy and cooperative play to suit its crowd. Unless you’re specifically looking for some sniping action and are able to play in high difficulty mode, Sniper Elite 4 can wait.

Now and then I love a good stealth game and that is what I have today. Sniper Elite 4 combines stealth gameplay with being a sniper very well, and I believe that this is also a wonderful port. So how does this game manage that? Let’s find out.

Sniper Elite 4 is a title that will appeal to both casual players and fans of the genre, especially those who prefer stealth. The Switch port has some visual problems that take away some of the charm, but the gameplay experience is good. The game is not a Triple A, but it achieves the same quality as one.
