This is a barely positive review for me, and strictly if you acquire the game with a 60%+ discount.

The game has two main issues for me. The first thing is AI's behavior, which makes zero sense. The moment they start investigate something and deviate from their strict up-and-down path, they lose it and run around like brainless chickens. Impossible to predict, and it completely breaks the immersion. The AI animations also feel out of sync, and they usually "snap" from one state to the other, instead of transitioning seamlessly.

Secondly are the levels/maps. They feel more like Hitman maps rather than Sniper Elite maps. It feels like the game drags you to go on foot and kill everybody with your little silenced pistol, rather than finding a sniper's nest. Opportunity wise, sniping also gets a smaller piece of the pie as well. It's just weird that the devs went that way, it doesn't fit that much the older style of games (e.g SE3), and it did bother me a little.

On the good side, the graphics are gorgeous. Story is generic nazi vs americans ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, but it's good enough, since nobody plays this for the story anyway. The maps even though they are not as "Sniper Elite like" they are nice and they are structured in such a way as to allow you multiple entries to the map as well as different exfill locations. Finally, you get more of those great killcams that this game is known for, so yeah, I'll add that to the list too.

Overall, if you get it for 15-25 bucks max, I believe it's a buy, especially if you like the style of Sniper Elite games and want some more of it!
