Sniper Eliite 5 Review

Platapus · 02-16-23, 05:03 PM

There is a guy on Youtube who does SE4 and SE5 missions with no or only the required killing, just sneaking on authentic difficulty. It is quite impressive despite the editing that you are not supposed to notice.

Still some of the moves he pulls off is quite impressive. I might try the ultimate sneaking game play next play through.

Definitely need to give it a try.

I bought Sniper Elite 4 (Italy) with all DLC for $8 and change during the Steam Summer Sale. It's grand fun!

Based on my experience with SE4, I want to add SE2 Remastered, SE3, and SE5 eventually.

I also have Sniper: Ghost Warrior Contracts 2. That too is very good.

Is this a third person game? I can't stand them.

Yes, it is, and one of the reasons I suggested Ghost Warrior as an alternative to Sniper Elite. I don't like third person either, but I'll still do it if the game is good enough. Witcher 3 and Hitman WoA being a couple examples. Even in GTA and RDR2 I played exclusively in first person even if it is a bit clunky and there are disadvantages to playing first person, particularly situational awareness in PvP.

The Ghost Warrior series, including the Contracts spin-off is pretty good when you sum up the parts. Nothing in isolation will blow your socks off, but taken as a whole it is a solid tactical sniper game. Turn off the bullet cams and HUD elements and it's right about where I want it to be.

I just picked up SE2 Remastered, SE3, and SE5 on sale on Steam The series just went on sale today.

I also HATE third-person games, but with the Sniper Elite series, all the actual sniping is first person, through the scope. And you won't have to walk very far in third person before you spot your next target. So it's probably the least offensive third-person title that I've ever played.

Sniper: Ghost Warrior Contracts 2, as noted above, is very enjoyable as well. But that's the only title in that series that I know. Maybe someone else can comment on the rest of that series.

Anyway, as of the time of this post, the entire Sniper Elite series is on sale on Steam with major discounts. So if you want to try it, now is the time. I love SE4, the one set in Italy, and the ones that I just bought get excellent reviews.

The original is a bit long in the tooth and has that blocky, old game look, so I passed. But SE2 Remastered, SE3, SE4, and of course, the latest, SE5, all look good.

So now I have Italy, Germany, France, and North Africa covered. Time for some X-Ray head shots, LOL!
