![]() ![]() That’s where the similarities end as the game is nowhere near the imaginative joy to play with in this regard to its dad Hitman. In certain circumstances, you can even kill your foes and targets by using Hitman-style environmental takedowns and traps. Although I found myself always trying to take them down long-range it’s good to have the option of sneaking through grass and going hand to hand or just ignoring the alarms blaring and going gun blazing into the action. Searching for a viewpoint to scout out an area of enemies and then deciding how to take them down is now a lot of fun. Fairbourne is a joy to control and it is a massive improvement from the short period I spent playing SE3 and 4. It’s underdeveloped and has some cheesy dialogue, but it’s enough to carry the game through some impressive level design and a multitude of different ways to play the game.Īnother big upgrade from the earlier games is the player movement. The story helps keep the game moving along but think more war story from the bargain bin at Woolworths than Saving Private Ryan. SE 5 is one of the first games in the series that can quite easily be played without stealth, as someone who hasn’t even been very good at this, I’d say it’s a plus, but some others might not agree. It’s gruesome and although it might be slightly overused in places (however this can be adjusted in the settings), watching your builts pierce through bad guys will always be a draw, brains will fly multiple times during your time in the game.Īs I noted earlier not much feels new and shiny, except Invasion mode at least, but the worlds look better, the gunplay feels better and it even feels less strict for how you decide to take on objectives. It is amazing to watch in action and something a huge number of players will be uploading to social media to show off. The selling point of the game is no doubt the return of the gruesome kills that feature, the X-Ray cam returns and this time show off even more blood, guts and broken bonds as you take down enemies over the sprawling environments. ![]() You don’t need to go it alone as the campaign can be played in 2 player co-op, and a few features called Invasion even let a 3 rd player join in on the opposing team and take down the other players. You can take a direct route and just play the story objectives, but each level has plenty of additional tasks that can be found and completed if you want. The levels in the game are large sandbox playgrounds for players to decide how to explore and complete objectives. Sniper Karl Fairbourne is set to task with helping an Army Ranger battalion with gaining a valuable foothold in 1944 France during World War 2. The story is set after the events of SE4 and a year before the sorry of SE V2. Sniper Elite 5 (SE5) remains an over-the-shoulder 3 rd person-action and stealth game like its predecessors. Clear some space on your hard drive though as the game comes in at a whopping 95Gb download. Playing on PC through Gamepass, I’ve had no issues in terms of stability which is great to see, especially considering some of the launch issues Forza and Halo had. It’s a welcome addition to Gamepass and it’s a more high-profile game than most others the service has had recently.ĭon’t go into the game expecting to be blown away with new features if you experienced any of the previous games in the series, it’s very much a refinement of what came before, but similar to my review of Far Cry 6 last year, that is a good thing. Recently I’ve been playing Sniper Elite 5, it was released into Xbox game pass on its release date and so far I’ve enjoyed it.
