The collecting part leaves something to be desired, but the co-op and invasion gameplay modes more than make up for that.Ī copy of this game was provided to App Trigger for the purpose of this review. It’s easy to get lost exploring the giant maps in Rebellion’s Sniper Elite 5, it’s been a while since I’ve played a game where I lost track of time. If only I could find all those workbenches I might not have anything to complain about. New additions like the invasion mode are hopefully going to allow the game to have some staying power. Besides a great campaign to play by yourself you can do it again in co-op, something I can’t wait to do now that everyone has access to the game. The x-ray kill shots are back, and a fantastic detail is carried over from previous entries. There is tons to explore while you attempt to take down the Axis powers all by yourself. Sniper Elite 5 is as big and massive as its maps are. And of course a traditional free for all, team, and squad deathmatch. ![]() There’s also an endless horde mode, letting you try to survive wave after wave of troops. ![]() Your goal here is to take out the person who’s game you’ve randomly joined. An invasion mode allows you to play on the other team’s side, invading someone else’s campaign. That is not your only way to play online either. You can even change the difficulty mid-mission if you feel like things are too heated, or too easy.Īpparently, the co-op mode put Sniper Elite on the radar of a lot of gamers, and thankfully it has returned.

Not only can you choose how to play overall, but you can control the combat, sniping, and tactical aspect of the game. You can choose from civilian, cadet, sharpshooter, sniper elite, and authentic. I love that Sniper Elite 5 comes with a lot of different ways to customize the difficulty. I was never blown away by the storytelling, but I didn’t need to be, the gameplay sold me. I don’t want to spoil much else when it comes to the story, but I will say, I enjoyed how real-life events from World War II were weaved into the story of Sniper Elite 5. Luckily you’re a one-man-powerhouse, able to clear entire battalions of troops with your skills. ![]() The Nazis have something called Project Kraken in the works, and it’s up to you, Karl Fairburne, to make sure it never gets off the ground. Fortunately, I wasn’t let down on the kill-shot vids. When the chance came up to play Sniper Elite 5 I wasn’t sure what to expect, other than a few close-up x-ray sniper cutscenes of taking down the Axis soldiers. I somehow just never played any of the games in the franchise. Let’s be honest with each other, I’m brand new to the Sniper Elite series.
