You’re in another country, you’re in World War 2 before Italy fell apart and you can’t find a single Italian to kill because “Nazis are bad”. It’s literally the Nazis in god damn Italy. So clearly our enemies might be the Fascists, or even potentially the Mafia, or what a…. You’ll be placed in a lot of different locations in Italy. In Sniper Elite 4, you wage war in Italy, before the massive invasion of Italy known as Operation Avalanche. What do I mean? We’ll let’s take a trip down the story lane, and jump in our history machine. Fighting the Nazis… even when you shouldn’t… Let’s get the sequelitis out of the way, this is a standalone game, while you do play the same character from the previous games, this is an all-new story, and you’re once again waging war in World war 2. However this is the latest and greatest, so is it worth picking up? It’s a rather interesting series, that I’ve played in past and had some issues with. Sniper Elite 4 is pretty much what it promises, the fourth game in a series about an elite sniper. We’ve previously covered Staxel, and still have Tales of Berseria to come. Welcome to the second in the series of Humble Monthly Bundle games for September 2018. That said, there’s enough openness to this map to make multiplayer seem like a natural fit at first glance, and it could be fun to keep an extra eye out for an enemy player flanking you or potentially even using your own tactics against you during a mission.Also Available on PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. Speaking of, it also sounds like there will be multiplayer features such as co-op and player invasions, kinda like in Dark Souls, though I did not get a chance to see this feature in action. It’s an awfully nice way to alleviate certain challenges if you’re struggling to get through the map. Each time you level up, you can place skill points into perks that unlock certain features, like being able to revive yourself after being gunned down. In addition to weapon customization, you also level up gradually as you complete certain challenges and rack up your kill count, and your level even persists between deaths – but only if you restart the mission after dying. It’s almost to the degree of Battlefield 4’s customization, and that’s a compliment. Weapon customization is one of the marquee features of Sniper Elite 5, and it’s astounding how many different attachments and add-ons you can play with here. The map that I playtested had three major lanes, culminating at a massive compound within the chateau that spanned floors and tunnels that I may not have even seen in a single playthrough, and it’s this level of openness that gives weight to the number of tactical options that are made available. For example, this tower contains a high-powered rifle that’s extremely useful for taking care of the Nazis guarding the front gates of this chateau, while this shed is filled with explosives. It’s never a great idea to charge into battle with the limited arsenal Karl is able to carry at one time, and he’s always about two or three well-placed bullets away from death, but there are also a fair number of powerful weapon pickups spread across the map that give each area a special tactical advantage. The series’ famous slow-motion killcam makes a return here, and your killcam shots also apply to pistols and SMGs if you manage to land a killing blow at a creative angle. Much like the previous Sniper Elite games, there are a variety of guns to play with, and each weapon has a signature feel to it.
