    Plainly put, Sniper Elite 5 not only managed to meet my expectations but far surpass them. What I thought would be a fun game for a couple of hours at most became quickly a phenomenal release I couldn't get more of. Whether I charged in guns blazing or tried to be the ideal sniper or I did the side quests or main objectives, I had fun.

    Putting it under the scope, Rebellion Developments has delivered a coherent, open-ended stealth experience filled with plenty of freedom. This is peak Sniper Elite, with so much about the game inspiring tactical, sneaky gameplay that makes you feel like a real wartime marksman.

    Overall, Sniper Elite 5 is a very high quality and very playable addition to the Sniper Elite series. It offers an interesting environment, great replayability, but also plenty of cooperation and multiplayer options. Really good choice.

    Sniper Elite 5 excels at being an entertaining experience with a high level of tactical challenge that matches the player’s engagement. It’s a game that delivers on everything it’s trying to provide and doubles down with excellent sniping mechanics, gun customization, and gorgeous environments. It can be a bit overly complicated in some areas, and the random AI glitches can hurt the immersion, but this is the best entry of the series to date, and I don’t see it slowing down any time soon.

    Sniper Elite 5 is the best game in the series so far. Its intricately designed levels, deep weapon customization system, and satisfying gameplay offer hours upon hours of entertaining ways to kill Nazis. After five games, the game’s story and character development still feel too underdeveloped, making every mission blend together in an unending series of contextless kill cams and gravelly voiced one-liners, but if you don’t care about any of that then you will still find a lot to enjoy.

    Although technically dated, the game offers a neat aesthetic and is based on French landscapes (including the very vertical Mont Saint Michel) which will have a particular resonance with the inhabitants of France.

    Sniper Elite 5 is a mission pack disguised as a sequel, with a bunch of small, unremarkable adjustments to the tried formula.

    + Variedade nos mapas e nas possibilidades de gameplay
    + coop e crossplay
    + Visual, som e história bem bacanas

    PONTOS NEGATIVOS
    - Bugs como: queda infinita após escorregar em barrancos, coleta de itens não funciona se estiver agachado, objetos e inimigos desaparecendo ou atravessando paredes. O jogo foi divertido mesmo assim, mas a frequência atrapalhou um bocado.

    Single player review.

    Only 9 missions that can range from an hour to a couple of hours each.

    It's more of a bunch of DLCs from Sniper Elite 4 than anything else. The graphics are nice but the character models are awful. Invisible walls everywhere so you are funneled into a few ways to get the job done but not much a tactical choice. The difficulty of this game is in the amount of NPC you need to get rid of but not much else. The game has not really evolved and this time the stories seems cookie cutter. The voice acting is very bad.

    You can run and gun. Stealth is just an option to slow down your play time.
    Bobby trapping vehicles and people is worth zero as nothing happens with stopped vehicles.
    The scenery and foliage are nice but are really beginning to show their age.

    This game will need to be made in unreal engine 5 or better to keep people for coming back.
    The Fu rear dlc is just a cheap gimmick and i finished it in half an hour. 1/2 hour for 8$ i am not impressed.

    Skill point system is just a cheap gimmick to give you buffs.

    The only thing going for this game is the gore of the bullet cam and the morbid glee we get out of it.
    The ranking system is fun as i made it to General on the single player campaign.

    It's not bad its just getting old. The game needs to change and find new enemies instead of just yatzees.

    Wait for a bargain price.

    I like it but the game crashes a lot and that makes it unplayable at some times
