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.

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.

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

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

It's not perfect and it's not all bad. Sniper Elite 4 has huge levels with a lot of ways to complete, But most of them are repetitive and boring. However Sniper Elite 4 is the best game in the series and it can entertain you for almost 10 hours.

Sniper Elite 4 is the series best entry & possibly best sniper-driven game in 2017 that’s incredibly enjoyable. If you admire the poetic and colorful Italian setting and want a classic shooter with high freedom of choice and great stealth mechanisms, with a good story mode, enjoyable multiplayer & loveable survivor, Sniper Elite 4 is the defining experience.

Latest entry in the series copes with basic task – it's pretty fun and rewarding for a player to kill using a sniper rifle. Shame though that the story is boring, arsenal is pretty limited, and enemies' behavior is primitive. But the core sniping mechanic of Sniper Elite 4 can provide a couple evenings worth of entertainment.

Sniper Elite 4 takes its perch as the marquee, non-arcade sniping title on the market. Through its strategic gameplay, disgustingly explosive kill cutscenes, and jam-packed sandboxes, Sniper Elite 4 satiates the need for a World War II shooter, while not getting dragged down by the norms of the genre. Even with some technical hiccups and a less-than-likable protagonist, Sniper Elite 4 achieves, takes aim, hits its mark, and then some.

Going in it seemed like this was just going to be Sniper Elite 3 again but Sniper Elite 4 blows that game out of the water. It's such a complete package and one that feels so at home on much more powerful consoles that the absolute quality shining off this port easily puts it at the top of the war games available on the platform. Further highlighting developer Rebellion's fantastic work on the Nintendo Switch platform. Opening up the series to a completely new group of gamers who will hopefully love the brutal sniping action they have so sumptuously crafted. Don't sleep on this game.

So how to conclude? Well, it's another Sniper Elite game. Much like number three, which admittedly took some major steps forward over V2, but the same level of progress is missing. A new climate and a lick of paint have made another game in practically the precise mould of the brilliant Sniper Elite III, so I can't really complain. It's like going back to your favourite restaurant and ordering what you always order. Sure, it's a bloody delight, and there's not much bad to say about it, but perhaps something slightly different (aware as I am that this is vague and ill-defined) might have been nice?
