Sniper Elite 4 Reviews
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.

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 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.
In the end, while there is a flat story with a protagonist that lacks any real personality, they aren't big enough issues to spoil where it matters most.
Sniper Elite 4 doesn't wholly shed its grindhouse, B-game origins, but it's definitely an ambitious step forward for a stealth series that used to rely more on gimmickry.
There are places for improvement in terms of AI and story, but it's still amazingly good TPS with fantastic open levels and exciting x-ray shots. If you try it, you certainly won't regret it.

Landing the perfect snipe on someone in a moving vehicle from miles away, locating a crane hovering ominously above a busy area of Nazi's at a dangerous stage in your mission – these are all scenarios that you play a game like Sniper Elite 4.
The jump to current-gen consoles (and increased power and draw distances) tackled last iteration, Rebellion truly shines in this new release.
Sniper Elite 4 isn't the most sophisticated experience, but it puts all of its strengths front and center and delivers a very polished shooter.
Sniper Elite 4 improves all areas of the franchise to a greater or lesser extent, and its protagonist remains the only real weak spot.
Sniper Elite 4 is a good game by many metrics, and is the best in the series so far. It's a good shooter, a good stealth game and has exceptional shooting mechanics, but as a whole it's rarely exceptional. It's one of the better stealth games of the last few years, with several distinctive ideas combined to create a tense game that, while not all that much bigger in scope than its predecessor, feels bolder and more interesting.
With a revamped stealth system, improved AI, and massive sandbox-style levels, Sniper Elite 4 is hands-down the best game in the series.
In the end, while Sniper Elite 4 may not be the most innovative of games, it wholeheartedly embraces all of the unique quirks the series has come to be known for. It respects its audience enough to know just what they want, and delivers exactly that: pure unadulterated carnage.
If you're looking for a fun Hitman-esque sneaky murder sandbox to blast about in, you'll have an absolute ball here.
Sniper Elite 4: Italia is the most beautiful and comprehensive game in the series, which offers a well-executed sandbox, modern graphics and really interesting tactical gameplay. The problems with AI and hitboxes can ruin the experience, but there is hope that all issues will be fixed with the patch. But even in this state it delivers the engaging gameplay of cat-and-mouse with sabotage operations against superior forces of infantry and military equipment. If you liked Metal Gear Solid 5 and want more tactics and sandbox stealth gameplay, Sniper Elite 4 is the best option to buy.

You can often measure a game like Sniper Elite 4 by how much fun you are having when everything has gone to hell.
Sniper Elite 4 is the best entry yet in this long-running franchise with great big meaty missions stuffed to bursting point with Nazis to snipe and stab in glorious slo-mo X-ray vision. There's a new-found flexibility to the gameplay, with Karl now able to shimmy and scurry vertically around levels and enemy AI that's much more up to the task than in previous iterations. There may be some slightly rough edges, with duff writing, naff characters and gameplay that doesn't change much from start to finish but, overall, this is playful sniper's paradise that lands on Switch in a truly impressive port. It's time to dust off that M1903 Springfield, find a nice vantage point and get to blowing great big bloody holes in fascist heads. The perfect antidote to 2020.
Sniper Elite 4 isn't without its flaws, but it delivers a number of noteworthy improvements over previous games in the series to make it an engrossing experience. The gruesome X-ray kill cams still haven't gotten old, and the more expansive and dense levels make the core gameplay all the more entertaining. It's definitely the best in the series yet, and is worth checking out for longtime fans and newcomers alike.
If you’re willing to look past the graphics and animation in certain pockets, the self-contained loop that is Sniper Elite 4‘s gameplay offers some of the more surprisingly striking moments of well-implemented level design and genuine curiosity you can have in a shooter.
Rebellion brings Sniper Elite 4 on the italian shores with the well know formula and some marginal improvements. The result is a well crafted experience and the extra composed by the possibility to play coop and versur with other players.
