So covering how the game actually plays, it’s a fairly standard third person shooter mixed with a pretty good stealth game. There’s two sides to this, yeah the guy might have just became a family man, or they may be really young, or even really just new on the job, but they’re also still nazis. You can even learn about the people you’ll kill in messy ways by examining them with your binoculars. This adds a little bit to the experience. These can just be random conversations with people you stumble upon, letters to home, and more about nefarious plans. While the overlying story didn’t really do it for me, you do get more to learn and hear with notes you’ll find throughout the vast levels you play in. World War 2 stories are as generic as they come at this point, but I always enjoy a good excuse to kill nazis.
It’s up to you, the hero Karl Fairburne to take them out. The nazis have made a new weapon, discovered in Italy. Now, you can turn this whole thing off, but why would you want to do that? Bones shattering, organs exploding, it’s all incredibly gruesome, but at the same time makes taking anyone out with skill a more the better. The game suddenly gets cinematic, and follows the bullet as it speeds off into your target, then showing in graphic detail, much like the modern Mortal Kombat games their demise. So how exactly is it so satisfying? The Sniper Elite series is well know for a particular thing that happens upon a clean kill, a slow motion, x-ray kill cam. My first thought was that it’d be a game like Silent Scope, but what I got instead was a rather good third person shooter, stealth game hybrid with unbelievably satisfying kills. Before playing Sniper Elite 4, I was only remotely familiar with the series, mostly with a certain feature the games had.
