Developer Rebellion should certainly be commended for Sniper Elite 4’s rich environmental design. These are all staples you’ll see several times throughout Sniper Elite 4’s campaign, but the game manages to find a good rhythm despite its uninspired objectives.īy allowing the freeform exploration of its large hub areas, you’re free to approach objectives how you want to. Your key objectives start, and stay, perfectly simple: locate this hidden intel, destroy this strategic position, or kill this high ranking officer. The good thing about Sniper Elite 4 is that you rarely have to think much more beyond “who do I have to shoot now”, but this works because the sniping is so darn moreish you don’t really want to be thinking too much beyond your next long distance takedown. You’ll infiltrate quaint Tuscan towns overrun with Nazis, vineyards overrun with Nazis, sun soaked forest canyons overrun with Nazis, military docks overrun with Nazis, and monasteries perched atop hillsides that, you guessed it, are overrun with Nazis. Moving from the deserts of Africa seen in Sniper Elite 3 to the mediterranean countryside of Italy, brings a whole host of new environments to explore and kill within. The game’s unobtrusive, inoffensive plainness, in some ways fits quite well into the humdrum second world war-era tale it tells. By putting you behind a scope, tracking your target from 300m away, the game creates a sniping experience that’s so good the rest of Sniper Elite 4 – a serviceable, visually impressive open-world shooter akin to Far Cry – feels generic in comparison. But Sniper Elite 4 does a superb job of that. Rather than using firearms as an emotional release or a tense show of force, games often feature the firing of a weapon as a formulaic means of earning progress to fight your way from A to B to earn a new cutscene, a better weapon or a climactic boss.įew games nowadays succeed in making the actual act of shooting the main reason to play. T he act of shooting a gun – occasionally dull, frequently unsatisfying, universally overused – has become gaming’s primary interaction.
