This nuisance also rears its ugly head in the survival mode when you’re having to do it under fire.Īcross its French backdrop, Sniper Elite 5 is often a sniper’s paradise, taking an often non-linear approach to its mission structure, and being a haven for experimenting with its weapon and equipment variety. While that may sound like I am nitpicking such a minor annoyance, it can be a bit frustrating in picking out intel in a safe when it’s filled with ammo or bandages that you are already fully stocked on. This results in several animations not lining up with your actions within the environment, not being able to open a door while remaining crouched, or trivial things such as having to manually pick up items, which was automatic in Sniper Elite 4. While Sniper Elite 5 is certainly bigger, better, and more polished, there is still a mild clunkiness to the series that still remains. So, with Sniper Elite 5 finally released, I was eager to finally jump in, and see what this series was all about, and honestly, I sort of wish I had jumped deeper into this franchise long ago as it is some good mindless fun.Īfter rolling credits, I immediately loaded up Sniper Elite 4 to take a look at how much this latest title has improved upon its predecessor over the last four years. My larger experience with the franchise however, was through its spin-off, the Zombie Army Trilogy series which I absolutely adore. Sniper Elite has always been a franchise that I’ve had in my peripheral, but apart from its x-ray bullet cam and penchant for killing nazis, I couldn’t tell you much more about it.
