Sniper Elite 5: France (Xbox One/SX)

Das gewohnt gute Sniper Gameplay sorgen für einige Stunden Spielspaß und der PvP Modus wie auch die Invasion sorgen für weitere Abwechslung. Die Grafik könnte generell ein Upgrade vertragen und es fühlt sich an, als wenn hier zu sehr an alten Generationen festgehalten wird. Auch kleine Bugs könnten noch ein wenig Aufmerksamkeit der Entwickler vertragen.

If you’ve never played a Sniper Elite game before, Sniper Elite 5 is as good as any to jump in with. You don’t need previous experience to understand what’s going on. If you’ve played every game in the series, then you know if you’re going to like this one. However, if you bounced off the previous titles, this one absolutely isn’t going to change your mind.

Invisible barriers tend to break the immersion at times, and the AI can be overly finicky as it veers between competence and incompetence. Fairburne isn't the most graceful protagonist, either, but these shortcomings aren't damaging enough to seriously dampen the glee that comes from shooting Nazis in the face from 300 yards away. When it comes to long-range combat, Sniper Elite 5 has mastered the craft.

In the end, Sniper Elite 5 is by no means a terrible game. In fact, if you love the series and wanted nothing to change from the previous installment, then you’ll be more than satisfied. As someone who has played enough of the series in the past and was hoping for a little more growth, I was thoroughly disappointed.
