Sniper Elite 5 is the next installment in the series of sniper action games by Rebellion studio. This time we go with the mission to France occupied by German forces in 1944. Game improves gameplay mechanics and introduces new concepts to multiplayer modes.
Sniper Elite 5 is a sniper shooting game with stealth elements. Game was developed by Rebellion studio, team responsible for all other games in the series.
Plot
The action of Sniper Elite 5 takes place in France in 1944. The main hero is once again Karl Fairburne, who is sent this time to the Brittany coast in order to weaken the Atlantic Wall, the German fortification system. During this mission, he is on the trail of a secret Nazi plan known as Operation Kraken, which could lead to the final defeat of the Allies.
Game mechanics
Sniper Elite 5 is an action game that develops ideas from previous installments of the series. So we get a series of missions, each of which takes place on a large map with an open structure. The player receives tasks to complete, but has a lot of freedom to choose the methods of completing them. In the game, we eliminate enemies from long distances using a sniper rifle, frontal attacks, as well as a stealthy approach in which we try to avoid detection.
In the game we see the return of the series' trademark Killcam, which is a camera showing the damage our bullets cause to the bodies of enemies. In comparison with the previous installments, the realism of this mechanic has been increased even more. Additionally, it is now activated for hits not only from sniper rifles, but also from other firearms and knife attacks.
Sniper Elite 5 also offers improvements in the ballistics system and an extensive weapon modification system, allowing us to change many elements of each weapon, as well as use a large selection of ammunition types.
Game modes
The game offers an extensive story campaign, which can be played solo or in cooperative mode for two people. The latter option has been greatly improved in comparison with the previous part of the series, thanks to which players can share ammunition and equipment, as well as heal each other. It is also possible to invade other people's sessions. In this variant, we take on the role of a German sniper and hunt down other players in their campaigns.
Sniper Elite 5 also has more traditional multiplayer options. Classic PvP skirmishes are available, in which up to sixteen people compete against each other on one map at the same time. A survival mode is also available, where three people must fight against waves of increasingly powerful enemies.
Technical aspects
Sniper Elite 5 features fully 3D graphics. The game's maps are large and detailed, and improvements in killcam mechanics make eliminating enemies even more visually spectacular than in previous installments of the series.

Eurogamer: by Rick Lane
Through its invasion mechanic, Sniper Elite 5 achieves the ultimate goal of any sniping game, to capture the tension and drama of Jude Law and Ed Harris squaring off in Enemy at the Gates. If, like me, you watched that film when you were too young to do so, and thought "I wish there was a game that let me do that", rather than the more balanced "wow, war is terrible," then Sniper Elite 5 is that game, just without the Russian setting or Rachel Weisz. Couple that with eight superbly flexible sandboxes and the most imaginative interactive representation of the second world war in at least a decade, and you've got yourself one of the most entertaining games of the year.
IGN: 7 / 10 by Tristan Ogilvie
Sniper Elite 5 is still a satisfying and spectacularly gross way to shoot Nazis in their nether regions, but it feels like the series needs to start aiming its sights a little higher.
TheGamer: 4 / 5 by Jade King
Sniper Elite 5 is a great little shooter, and I had a lot of fun sinking into its sprawling levels and inventive mechanics. It doesn’t change the formula or even introduce anything particularly new to the wider genre, but perfectly understands what it wants to be and delivers on that expectation with significant flair. I viewed it as a palette cleanser of sorts, an experience that harkens back to a different generation of single-player shooters we don’t tend to see anymore. It’s almost nostalgic, and aside from Wolfenstein there is no better Nazi-murdering simulator out there.
The main pros of the game
- Gameplay Mechanics: Many players praised the authentic sniping mechanics, including the satisfying kill cam feature, which adds to the overall enjoyment of eliminating enemies from a distance.
- Graphics and Map Design: The game is noted for its impressive graphics and large, immersive maps that encourage exploration. Users appreciated the detailed environments and the variety of ways to approach missions.
- Customization Options: The weapon customization system was well-received, allowing players to tailor their loadouts to their playstyle.
- Replay Value: The game offers high replayability due to multiple mission objectives and difficulty settings, with many players enjoying the freedom to tackle missions stealthily or aggressively.
- Co-op and Multiplayer Features: Players enjoyed the co-op mode and the unique Axis Invasion feature, which allows for engaging PvP interactions.
The main cons of the game
- AI and Enemy Behavior: Several reviews criticized the enemy AI for being inconsistent and at times overly simplistic, leading to predictable behavior during encounters.
- Bugs and Technical Issues: Users reported various bugs, including crashes and glitches, particularly in multiplayer modes. Some players expressed frustration with the Easy Anti-Cheat system.
- Difficulty Balance: Some players felt that the authentic difficulty mode was too easy compared to previous entries in the series, while others found the mechanics clunky, particularly in stealth scenarios.
- Limited Innovation: A number of reviewers mentioned that the game felt like a minor upgrade from Sniper Elite 4, lacking significant innovation and creativity in gameplay and design.
The features or elements that are missing from the game according to users
- Localized Language Options: Players expressed disappointment over the absence of a French voiceover, which they felt would enhance immersion, especially given the game's setting in France.
- More Variety in Gameplay: Some reviews called for more diverse gameplay mechanics, including more options for dealing with vehicles and varied enemy interactions.
- Authentic+ Difficulty Mode: Users missed the more challenging Authentic+ difficulty from Sniper Elite 4, desiring a tougher gameplay experience.
- Expanded Story Elements: Several players noted that the storyline felt weak and uninspired, suggesting that more effort could be put into crafting a compelling narrative.
Summary
- Overall, while Sniper Elite 5 received a mix of praise and criticism, it was generally regarded as a solid entry in the series, especially for fans of the franchise. However, the game also faced scrutiny for its technical issues and perceived lack of innovation compared to its predecessors.

Sniper Elite 5 Reviews - Better Than Predecessors, but Not Perfect
The first reviews suggest that Sniper Elite 5 is a successful sequel. However, more stealth and exploration, nicer locations and impressive „finishers” are once again left to cover for poor storyline and unbalanced enemy AI.
