CONS: - TERRIBLE PROTAGONIST: The story of the game is mostly forgettable, and the beefy protagonist in particular is two-dimensional and hard to relate to. BEAUTIFULLY RENDERED LOCATIONS: The picturesque Italian locations are meticulously crafted, if a bit postcardy–and the graphics of the game does a great job delivering the beauty at (mostly) decent frames per second on the humble Switch. In that respect, Sniper Elite 4 doesn't disappoint: those long-distance perfect shots are immensely satisfying. VERY SATISFYING SNIPING MECHANICS: It's a game about sniping, after all–so we all know what we came for. The result is a riveting shared experience that creates endless moments worth remembering.


The campaign can be played start to finish in co-op, and the game even throws in a couple of asymmetric "sniper and spotter" mission. PROS: - ONE OF THE BEST CO-OP GAMES, PERIOD: With a communicative buddy or two (or three), SE4 is engrossing. Sniper Elite 4 is a good single player game for fans of military shooters, sniping and stealth–but it becomes fantastic when played Sniper Elite 4 is a good single player game for fans of military shooters, sniping and stealth–but it becomes fantastic when played cooperatively. All in all, an amazing game that I’m so glad that I took a punt on. This was fixed by starting the mission again from scratch, but was pretty frustrating. Also, I experienced a save game bug a couple of times where the game stopped autosaving during a mission, and also prevented me from manually saving. The base game is strong enough to justify the price tag, but it still leaves a slightly bitter taste in the mouth.

As for negatives, it seems a bit rough that Rebellion didn’t release this game as an ultimate edition with all DLC, considering that the game is over 3 years old, instead choosing to charge a premium for it. Having said that, I was fairly methodical, explored a lot, and had fun experimenting with different strategies to take down enemy mobs. Game length will vary from player to player, but I got a bit over 50 hours out of my campaign playthrough. It seriously exceeded my expectations by a fair margin. It’s a high quality game that is wickedly fun to play (and replay). If you’re a fan of shooters/stealth/tactical games, have a Switch, and haven’t played this yet, get on board. Whichever avenue you take, there’s always fun, exploration and experimentation to be had. Filled with 8 (very large) missions/levels that allow you to either tackle the objectives by being a true ghost sniper, a trap setter, or with a run and gun mindset, or a combination of all of the above. As for the game itself, it’s a sandbox wonderland that is amazing fun to dive into. I played it exclusively in handheld mode, and it’s clear that Rebellion haven’t just phoned this port in the performance is excellent, and the graphics are very impressive. I played it exclusively This is my first experience in the world of Sniper Elite, and I have to say that I wish I’d jumped on board earlier.

This is my first experience in the world of Sniper Elite, and I have to say that I wish I’d jumped on board earlier. If his mission fails, there will be no Operation Overlord, no D-Day landings, and no Victory in Europe.
