What players say
Set during World War II, Sniper Elite 4 puts players behind enemy lines in 1943 Italy. As an elite sniper, players must use stealth, strategy, and precise shooting to complete dangerous missions. With large open levels, a variety of weapons, and its famous slow-motion "X-ray" kill camera, the game offers a unique take on the World War II shooter genre. But does Sniper Elite 4 live up to its reputation? In this...

X-ray can be turned off, while still having kill-cams! i like the map size, big enough for me but not too big to be annoying, timed challenges can make the game less fun. they're using some custom AA shader, i'd prefer to have option for SMAA and SMAA T2X, but at least its better than most TAA implementation. 9/10
Enemies spot you through grass and bushes, leaves block bullets, and soundmask is still the laziest solution to a problem Rebellion created. So much for "tactical third-person combat". The Sniper Elite series continues to be an arcade game that lies about being realistic in any sense of the word.
