France, 1944. The roar of anti-aircraft fire silenced all the sounds of the night. At the same time, the German soldiers collapse one after the other on the horizon. Use your binoculars to find your targets and your trusty rifle to bring your enemies down like a house of cards on this hurricane autumn night. Sniper Elite is a series that dates back to 2005. You put yourself in the shoes of Karl Fairborne, a sniper of German origin whose goal is to sabotage the plans of the American army. The first thing that strikes you is that both the dunes of the third part and the Italian landscapes of the fourth part have disappeared. This time we landed France before Operation Overlord. The Allies are determined to invade Normandy and your first mission is to defend the coast from this invasion.
That’s right, it’s you, your binoculars and a submarine to win the war. At that point, I stop taking it so seriously and approach it like a summer popcorn movie. In short, the series continues its usual narrative of secret projects and “Miracle Weapon
I’ve enjoyed every part of this series since 2005 and I can say that nothing has changed in this fifth chapter. The fact that The levels are more open yes, it is an important and value-adding element, since they are more varied and fun than before. By scaling these levels, the different tasks and their focus are much better. The map has side quests that you discover by exploring and finding documents. These missions can range from killing an officer to sabotaging anti-aircraft guns.

Do you like that? Rifles, pistols or machine guns, the game offers a good selection that you can modify. The weapons sound very good, but they lack some recoil and reasonable weight. In addition, you have packages of at your fingertips Medicine, mines and grenades. The selection is good and I can see players using almost every ingredient. However, I quickly discovered the effectiveness of sneaking around with a gun silencer. However, earlier aspects like ballistics are affected by time, gravity, and distance. You can use the sniper weapons and their different types of ammo to complete all the levels. If you already have previous experience, I recommend you to adjust the difficulty level completely so that you have the best possible gaming experience.
After each mission you’ll get an idea of what kind of player you are. The statistics of your games are presented in a four-variable chart (Seizure, stealth, nonlethal force, and deadly force
The story fades into the background the graphics are pretty bad and the somewhat erratic synchronization. However, the ambushes on enemies are fun, the AI manipulation is entertaining, and the fantastic long-range shooting with x-ray effects when Nazi skulls explode will keep satisfying even after five games of the same theme. .

It’s a pity that Sniper Elite 5 doesn’t offer us a livelier game world and a stronger story. I would have appreciated if the characters or objectives had more twists or developed further. More movement and a bit more of a need for the player to adapt to changing circumstances and objective routines would have increased the complexity and certainly made it much more manageable. Both co-op and multiplayer are well done. It’s also nice to be able to test your skills in one Survival mode based on forbidding waves.
Sniper Elite 5 is a good action game packaged to be enjoyed in moderation. It’s more polished than its predecessors, with no major changes. The formula does not contain any important new ingredients, but reinforces existing ones. I like that it’s a niche shooter and despite my criticisms it hasn’t let me down. If you are interested in long range shooting and want to travel to France, you can save yourself a significant amount of money and make this your alternative this summer.
