SeekerSniper Elite 4
A lot of games tout the ability to “play how you want to play,” but Sniper Elite 4’s missions and mechanics actually are robust enough to back up that claim. Picking apart the Nazi war machine piece by piece, using whatever plan comes to mind, is a blast. The way it encourages you to stay mindful, experiment, and get better is a refreshing vote of confidence, even if it doesn’t always reward the extra effort you’re putting in.

Sniper Elite 4 is a game built around these stylish, slow-motion kills. Whether you’re stabbing someone in the gut while hanging from a ledge, severing their spinal cord from a vantage point 200m away, or popping their bollocks while squatting in a bush, any direct hit on a vital organ (ahem) will be met with sweeping, dramatic action-cam footage.

Sniper Elite 4 is without a doubt the best in the series, adding in badly-needed mechanics that provide a springboard from a good game to an amazing one. The open world layout and relaxed approach to objectives gives gamers the freedom to tackle each environment as they desire, and when combined with new climbing mechanics, opens the doors to impressive, long-distance shots. Bullet Time provides instant gratification, and gives an insight to the internal damage that other shooters completely forget about. If you’re looking for a solid open world sniper game, you’ll struggle to find one better than Sniper Elite 4.

Sniper Elite 4 doesn’t wholly shed its grindhouse, B-game origins, but it’s definitely an ambitious step forward for a stealth series that used to rely more on gimmickry.
