IGN: 7 / 10 by Tristan Ogilvie
Sniper Elite 5 is still a satisfying and spectacularly gross way to shoot Nazis in their nether regions, but it feels like the series needs to start aiming its sights a little higher.
Hardcore Gamer: 4 / 5 by Jordan Helm
While a few issues remain that hamper the experience, it's a no-brainer to proclaim Sniper Elite 5 has taken everything that made 4 as great as it was and improved it.
Metro GameCentral: 8 / 10 by Nick Gillett
More highly addictive Nazi cranium popping, that improves almost every aspect of the experience – especially in terms of the open world and expanded weapon options.
The main pros of the game
- Graphics and Atmosphere: Many users praised the game's graphics, stating they are among the best in the series, with impressive environments and detailed character models.
- Gameplay Mechanics: The gameplay has been noted for being smooth and satisfying, with improvements in combat mechanics, including the introduction of new movement options and a refined sniping experience.
- Replayability and Variety: Players appreciate the variety of approaches to missions, allowing for both stealth and direct combat strategies, and many enjoyed the co-op mode.
- Kill Cam Feature: The iconic kill cam, which shows the damage inflicted on enemies, remains a highlight and adds satisfaction to successful shots.
- Content and Length: Some players mentioned the game offers a fair amount of content and hours of gameplay, making it worth the money.
The main cons of the game
- Stability Issues: Several users reported frequent crashes and instability, affecting their overall experience and enjoyment of the game.
- Lack of Sniping Opportunities: A common complaint is that later levels shift away from sniping to more close-quarters combat, which disappointed players who expected more traditional sniping gameplay.
- Forced Save Mechanic: The game?s save system was criticized for forcing saves during firefights, leading to frustrating situations when players die and are respawned in difficult scenarios.
- Minor Glitches: Some players encountered bugs, such as being unable to move or being shot through walls, which detracted from the immersion.
The features or elements that are missing from the game according to users
- More Kill Animations: Some players expressed a desire for additional kill animations to enhance the sniping experience.
- Improved Sniping Mechanics: Users noted the need for more authentic sniping opportunities and mechanics, particularly in later missions where the gameplay shifted towards gunfights.
- Customization Options: There were requests for more freedom in customizing weapons, particularly regarding scope options, which felt limited compared to previous games.
- Longer Campaign: A few players mentioned that the game felt too short and could benefit from more missions or DLC content that doesn't come with a steep price.
Summary
- Overall, while Sniper Elite 5 has received praise for its graphics and gameplay improvements, it also faces criticism for technical issues, gameplay changes that stray from its sniping roots, and some design choices that have left certain players wanting more.

Sniper Elite 5 Description
Sniper Elite 5 is a sniper shooting game with stealth elements. Game was developed by Rebellion studio, team responsible for all other games in the series.
Plot
The action of Sniper Elite 5 takes place in France in 1944. The main hero is once again Karl Fairburne, who is sent this time to the Brittany coast in order to weaken the Atlantic Wall, the German fortification system. During this mission, he is on the trail of a secret Nazi plan known as Operation Kraken, which could lead to the final defeat of the Allies.
Game mechanics
Sniper Elite 5 is an action game that develops ideas from previous installments of the series. So we get a series of missions, each of which takes place on a large map with an open structure. The player receives tasks to complete, but has a lot of freedom to choose the methods of completing them. In the game, we eliminate enemies from long distances using a sniper rifle, frontal attacks, as well as a stealthy approach in which we try to avoid detection.
In the game we see the return of the series' trademark Killcam, which is a camera showing the damage our bullets cause to the bodies of enemies. In comparison with the previous installments, the realism of this mechanic has been increased even more. Additionally, it is now activated for hits not only from sniper rifles, but also from other firearms and knife attacks.
Sniper Elite 5 also offers improvements in the ballistics system and an extensive weapon modification system, allowing us to change many elements of each weapon, as well as use a large selection of ammunition types.
Game modes
The game offers an extensive story campaign, which can be played solo or in cooperative mode for two people. The latter option has been greatly improved in comparison with the previous part of the series, thanks to which players can share ammunition and equipment, as well as heal each other. It is also possible to invade other people's sessions. In this variant, we take on the role of a German sniper and hunt down other players in their campaigns.
Sniper Elite 5 also has more traditional multiplayer options. Classic PvP skirmishes are available, in which up to sixteen people compete against each other on one map at the same time. A survival mode is also available, where three people must fight against waves of increasingly powerful enemies.
Technical aspects
Sniper Elite 5 features fully 3D graphics. The game's maps are large and detailed, and improvements in killcam mechanics make eliminating enemies even more visually spectacular than in previous installments of the series.

Sniper Elite 5 Reviews - Better Than Predecessors, but Not Perfect
The first reviews suggest that Sniper Elite 5 is a successful sequel. However, more stealth and exploration, nicer locations and impressive „finishers” are once again left to cover for poor storyline and unbalanced enemy AI.
