After a rather safe third outing, Sniper Elite 4 could give V2 a run for its money as the best the series has offered to date as an experience that is more in-depth for veterans, yet still wholly accessible for complete newcomers alike. Yet for a genre trying its utmost to please anyone and everyone (shareholders included), you can’t help but balance that line of thought out with some due appreciation for a studio like Rebellion. But the series pits player satisfaction against player patience I may very well like a Sunday Roast, but having it for every meal of every day…it’s perhaps the best comparison to be made on how a game’s lone strength (appealing as it might be) can also, potentially, be its undoing. Whether or not the Sniper Elite series’ persistence is purely down to its recognizing the joy in such a simple premise - of taking out targets from long-range, watching as your good work unfolds in rather Hollywood-esque dramatics and bone/organ-obliterating delight - will of course vary from person to person. It’s a well-known fact snipers are by far the best class in any shooter-orientated game when it comes to both abilities offered and abilities used by the players themselves.There’s a gratifying zeal to garner from taking one’s foe out from a distance - concealed, hidden and more importantly, orchestrated by way of careful strategy as opposed to bold, perhaps brash guns blazing.
