Karl Fairburne’s latest stint as Sniper Elite’s protagonist drops him onto the Italian front, an unusually bright, beautiful setting despite being crowded with the German presence. But it’s also often soured by inconsistencies, AI that swings between the idiotic and superhuman, and shock that loses its value.
Sniper Elite 4’s campaign is filled with potential high points and anxious moments deep in enemy territory.
The gore remains untouched in this sequel, delivering a gruesome splatter fest alongside a sometimes tense stand-off between a lone American soldier and hundreds from the ranks of Nazi Germany. Sniper Elite 4 marks Rebellion’s fourth round for their World War II marksman, and it doesn’t lose sight of the series’ slow motion hook: showing the internal damage of bullet strikes, with bones, arteries and organs included. While social media debates the ethics of punching Nazis, Sniper Elite 4 continues to consider how best to perforate their spleens.
