Sniper Elite 4 Reviews
Sniper Elite 4 isn’t a revelation, but it’s a solid game that shouldn’t be missed if you enjoy stealth games.
Sniper Elite 4 is a vast improvement over Sniper Elite 2 and 3 in terms of scenario design and ambition, but there's just something missing. The team at Rebellion have got the combat down. They've got the sniping mechanics down. They've even nailed the traversal mechanics – whether vertical or horizontal. But there's a distinct lack of fantastical set pieces that stunt Sniper Elite 4 from reaching its true potential. Instead, we have some greatly designed, open missions; but ones that grow repetitive by the time the game ends. Issues with pacing and repetition aside, Sniper Elite 4 is still a competent experience, and one of the more authentic and true-to-life sniping simulators.
Sniper Elite 4 continues the style that has worked very well for Rebellion Developments on the previous releases of the series, but providing new elements that improve the gameplay. Unfortunately it is not too much innovative and some technical aspects of the game such as physics and the Artificial Intelligence should be more polished.

If you hear the premise of Sniper Elite 4 and your first thought is "Wow does that sound awesome," then it's probably a game out of which you'll get some joy. For anyone else, it's a game worth playing but it might be better to wait for a sale.
You can shoot Nazis in the junk, across bigger maps than before, with more options and better AI. Were you expecting something else? Do you really want something else?
Enormous, open levels augment Sniper Elite 4 with some of the best long-distance shootouts that the series has seen thus far. The under-the-hood improvements – paired with the idyllic Italian backdrop – do give this entry the edge over its predecessor, but if you've played one of these games before then you'll know more or less what to expect. Nevertheless, as far as ball busters go, it doesn't get much better (or wince-inducing) than this.
Sniper Elite 4 may lack the bells and whistles of other World War 2-based shooters, but its top tier shooting mechanics and enticing maps make it a fun experience for the creative sniper.
Looking down the scope and holding your breath to line up that perfect shot in Sniper Elite 4 is exhilarating, as are the subsequent Kill Cams. It's just a shame that the poorly delivered story and wooden characters get in the way.
Sniper Elite 4 for Nintendo Switch is a good porting of the original game published in 2017.

It's a really exciting time for the Sniper Elite. After three games of the same, generic third-person cover sniper nonsense, Sniper Elite 4 has put the series in a good position and showed a lot of potential for even more improvement, possibly elevating it to truly elite ranks. It's not quite there, yet, though. With no details you can boil down my review to "You're good. Now get better."
It’s such an easy title to just pick up and play. I’d recommend upping the difficulty above where you’d think you’d sit, but beyond that dive-in and blow some Nazi brains out.
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.

Sniper Elite 4 is a good TPS, that has the guilty to not improve a lot from the previous chapter: sniping is good but the mechanics are always the same; on the other hand, the map and the exploration are quite good.

Sniper Elite 4 delivers a solid sniping experience and a lot of fun stealth moments. It has a forgettable story and a few technical quirks but succeeds in delivering all the skeletal nonsense that fans of the series have come to expect.
In single, isolated moments, Sniper Elite 4 is a great game. However, mediocre AI, a throw away story, and a lack of polish in some key places, prevent it, as an entire package, from being a great game.
With expansive sandbox levels, some thrilling stealth action, and (of course) those magnificent X-ray kill cam shots it’s easy to see why this fourth iteration of Rebellion’s popular series is generally considered the most well rounded. With that being said, the seams are beginning to show this long after the original release, and while the Switch manages to pull off the action behind the scope exactly the way you’d expect, your mileage with the middle of the road visuals and mostly bland story may vary. If you have an Xbox or PlayStation its likely you already have the game for free, as it’s included in Game Pass and was a PlayStation Plus giveaway last year. If you only own a Switch or are looking for a game of this type to play on the go however, you’ll find plenty of content to like behind the $40 price tag.
A solid sharpshooting experience that knows where its strength lie. The open ended nature of each level, as well as the myriad ways to despatch enemies makes each level interesting, but it is the X-Ray kills that remain the centrepiece of this particular franchise.
The Switch has now been out for about 3 years, in that time we have seen quite a few older Triple A titles get re-released onto the Switch. Games like Skyrim and LA Noire and newer games like Doom 2016. Of the many titles we have seen varied performance.
Sniper Elite 4 is an overly conservative game that does not introduce important new features but it's still funny as hell.

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
