Sniper Elite 4 arrives in both digital and physical formats on Xbox One, PS4, and PC this week; but if you want to know if it’s worth a shot, international publications have started releasing their reviews for the highly-anticipated sharpshooting sequel. Here’s what they have to say…<\/p>\n
“Sniper Elite 4 feels like a natural progression for this series, as Rebellion continues to refine its systems and put a greater emphasis on the long-range shooting it does so well. Its stealth and action mechanics may be simplistic, but they’re functional and regularly enjoyable. And the maps–with their impressive scale, open-ended objectives, and clever level design–coalesce these disparate systems into a creative and fulfilling whole. There are still some issues with AI inconsistency, a bland story, and some dull competitive multiplayer, but it finally feels like this series is living up to its long-standing potential.”<\/p>\n
“Sniper Elite 4 is a bloody, good-looking but generic World War II shooter that sufficiently entertains but rarely ever surprises. It really is testament to the gruesome enjoyability of those hyper gory killcams that, even after four games, the sniping continues to be satisfying enough to warrant a look in. Sniper Elite 4 doesn’t miss its target, then, but it plays things safe enough to guarantee the kill without any undue risks.”<\/p>\n
