Now you can pull off 1 or 2 shots in a single area, providing that you’re secluded and leave a decent time between them, before Fritz gets any ideas. The biggest and best change though was the revamped relocation system. It still retains that fun and arcade style feel so you don’t have to be an ARMA level expert to pull off a grizzly pinpoint testicle shot, but (at least on the higher difficulties) it still offers a fair amount of challenge for those out looking for it.
#Sniper elite 4 ranks series#
If I had to put it simply it is the best sniping experience the series has offered to date, and possibly one of the best out there right now. Instead I put my attention first and foremost into the sniping of Sniper Elite 4, which is the most important aspect of a game with “Sniper” in the title. However, with only half an hour of time to demo I decided to mainly ignore those smaller objectives.

My objective here was simple, get to the railway bridge, plant some explosives and get out of the area with some smaller side-objectives in between. The mountain ranges, lush fields and compact villages are definitely a positive step away from the dry deserts and crumbling ruins. The Italian setting is much more interesting and diverse than the previous game’s African locale. One thing I will give the game right off the bat is that it is a very stunning looking game. The level on show was an Alpha build of the game, on the railway bridge level that has been showcased previously by Rebellion Games. It was with these thoughts that I entered the Sniper Elite 4 booth at EGX this year, with rather low expectations. This was particularly the case in 3 with the relocation system. I always felt the series was very rough around the edges in terms of its AI, which at points made it frustrating to advance. It was just never a series that could grab me, even as a lover of stealth games. I dabbled in V2 a bit and even though Sniper Elite 3 was one of the first games I got for my PS4, it remains uncompleted to this day. I’ve never really been a huge fan or follower of the Sniper Elite series.
