Sniper Elite 5 alluded: hit or cross racket?

On May 26, 2022, Sniper Elite goes into the fifth round. We have been able to play the latest sniper adventure from developer Rebellion for a few hours and now tell you what interested eagle eyes with Sniper Elite 5 awaits.

Sniper action for a better world

We write the year 1944. The Second World War is in its last phase. As a player, you hatch the role of a American sniper , who helps French resistance to eliminate high-ranking Nazi officers.

Hitler's followers, however, try to win the war for himself with the mysterious project "Krake" **.

So much for the story. What follows is Sniper Elite how it lives and lives. Instead of an open world, you have 5 large, quite extensive levels in Sniper Elite. In our preview case, this was a rural area with a huge chateau in the heart of France.

You always get a main task that drives history and some optional goals and challenges.

How you solve your mission is still up to you. There are different ways, abbreviations and secret courses. A large part of the gameplay therefore consists of exploring the environment, exploring opportunities and observing enemies .

In theory, it is therefore possible as Rambo to simply storm onto the Chateau. However, this procedure is not recommended. Because even on the average level of difficulty , enemy shelling often ends with virtual death.

The procedure as a prudent sniper , on the other hand, not only does justice to the title of the game, but is also much more efficient. For example, you can do the said Chateau level without a single shooting.

However, this type escapes the typical Killcam , in which you follow the projectile in slow motion how it smashes the brain or the jaw of your goal. Of course, this is not new, but it also looks impressive at the hundredth time.

Never change a running system...

Speaking of new. What is lacking in Sniper Elite 5, however, is a real innovation. Those who played the previous parts, especially part 3 and 4, will immediately feel at home. This is nice on the one hand because the game remains true to itself, but on the other hand it is only "more of the same" .

There is no fresh wind or a new mechanics. For example, how about a cladding feature like in the Hitman games?

Especially in direct comparison with Hitman 3 of 2021, which is essentially structured in the core, is noticeable at Sniper Elite 5, How limited are the possibilities in the end.

And something was often limited in the game, namely the opposing AI. In our preview version, this was always strikingly careless or hyper-sensitive **. Depending on the situation. Although this is not a technical broken leg, it can sometimes be annoying. Especially when you are on a perfect run.

our conclusion after two hours

Sniper Elite 5 Gameplay | Let's Play Sniper Elite 5 Mission 2: Occupied Residence (PC Gameplay) In summary, after the two -hour preview, we can say that Sniper Elite 5 continues where the predecessor has stopped.
