V2 focused so much on sniping that levels were effectively linear corridors with no real room for experimentations so to speak. What I'm mostly referring to here is level design, where Sniper Elite 1 provided you with a lot of autonomy, presenting you with fairly open maps with objectives and a variety of tools to allow you to accomplish your goals, it was as much a stealth game as it was a sniping game. I takes all the improvements and refinements introduced to the series in Sniper Elite V2, refines them a bit more and then manages to reintroduce some of the aspects lost in that process from the original Sniper Elite. I don't think I could go back now.ġ7h 18m PlayedI really enjoyed Sniper Elite III. If you plan to play either of the first two games, I recommend playing them before you play any of the games that come after. This game is what the first two should have been, it takes the idea and refines it into a genuinely good game. The first two games weren't bad per se, but they had some glaring issues. Also a minor detail, the game doesn't tell you the distance for your kills. Wind requires minimal compensation and your target is never that far away so you never have to compensate for drop that much either. Sniping is a bit too easy even with full physics and no tactical assistance. I'd say this game's biggest flaw is that the maps are kinda small, you rarely shoot anything that's further than about 100-150m away. I do feel like Sniper Elite V2's bottles were better as a collectible, as they were placed along the path you'd be going, but were well hidden and not blatantly obvious, so you'd still have to look for them. There's some extra collectibles to get too, but I didn't feel like going for these as you'd need to scour the map while slowly crawling around the entire time. The game also has a nice little sprinkle of extra features added on top too, such as adding customisation to the weapon's setup, and being able to adjust your loadout before each level. The levels are also a little more open-ended feeling, it doesn't feel like you're following a narrow path the entire time. The Africa setting is a nice change of pace, and one I feel is a little under-represented in WW2 games. There are also more opportunities for stealth, such as being able to sabotage enemy generators to provide you with sound masking. Completing objectives doesn't randomly alert enemies to your position and cause them to rush you. Stealth gameplay is also much improved, in that you can actually stealth now. Gone are the issues of clearing an area or sweeping the battlefield with your binoculars, only to have an enemy sniper spawn in the spot you just checked. Enemy spawns are also vastly improved over the last game. Controls are vastly improved, particularly in terms of inventory and item selection. The feeling of two snipers slowly trying to figure out where each other can be extremely suspenseful as whoever gets found first is dead.ĩh 57m PlayedA big improvement over the previous two games, this one was significantly more enjoyable. If they could take the experience of the last DLC mission and make that the entire game, then that would be perfect. Overall, it was a pretty fun experience and would recommend it for something fresh other than your run of the mill Call of Duty or Battlefield, but it can be annoying at times and gets old towards the end. Story was pretty much non-existent besides some small cutscenes and picking up some war diaries, otherwise it's just you single handedly murdering everyone in sight. What I thought would have been a little more realistic, even on higher difficulties, was still more of an arcade style stealth game with small noises canceling out your gunshot from being heard and such. The slow-motion bullet penetration through Nazi soldier skulls really never got old and was one of the highlights of the game for sure. Short campaign but is probably the perfect length in my opinion. The game starts off pretty addicting, but the gameplay gets pretty repetitive towards the end unfortunately.
