The complete edition of Sniper Elite III: Africa – another installment of the popular stealth/shooter series developed by Rebellion. In the game, one assumes the role of Karl Fishbourne, a sharpshooter sent to the African front where he has to face elite Afrika Korps units supported by Tiger tanks, which spread terror among the Allied forces.
Sniper Elite III: Ultimate Edition is a complete edition of the third installment of the popular sniper shooters initiated by 2005’s Sniper Elite: Berlin 1945 and developed by Rebellion. This game has been released for users of both 7th and 8th console generations (e.g. PS4, X360 and etc.).
The action of this game centers on World War II for its setting, however this time around our protagonist is sent to Africa, where in 1942 Germans are developing a new weapon able to crush the Allied Forces. Among all the people who can stop the Nazis from finishing their deadly weapon is Karl Fishbourne – a sniper at the United States Armed Forces’ service. Our protagonist is sent to Africa, where he has to face elite Afrika Korps units supported by Tiger tanks, which spread terror among the opposing forces.
The gameplay mechanics in Sniper Elite III: Ultimate Edition do not differ so much from the predecessors’ and features mainly assassinations of targets like high-profile enemy officers. When comparing Sniper Elite III to the previous installments of this series one can notice significantly larger maps with open structures, giving players more freedom in choosing the measures to undertake and execution methods best fitting the task at hand. A key gameplay element is the well-developed sniper mechanics. On higher difficulty levels, the bullet trajectory is influenced by such factors as wind velocity, wind direction and even gravity. The game also features a Sniper Elite series trademark: very impressive X-Ray camera, showing to the damage done by the player’s bullets in the smallest detail.
The PS4, X360 and etc. version of Sniper Elite III: Ultimate Edition includes, apart from the base game, 9 expansions released after the game premiere, featuring 3 parts of Save Churchill storyline, along with 6 weapon packs. The Ultimate Edition also offers additional multiplayer maps, new co-op mission and 2 new game modes: Capture the Flag and Shooting Range.

Screen Rant: 3.5 / 5 by Scott Baird
Sniper Elite 3 Ultimate Edition fits right in on the Nintendo Switch.
GameSpace: 8 / 10 by Chris Bowman
Overall, I had fun with the game. At times the controls proved to be difficult with the handheld mode, so I switched to having the Switch docked and used the controller on the TV instead. The aiming function takes a little bit of time to get adjusted to after having played other shooters before this one. Sniper Elite III: Ultimate Edition releases on October 1st for $39.99.
Nintendo Life: 7 / 10 by Dom Reseigh-Lincoln
There are few things in modern video gaming that are as perversely satisfying as popping a Nazi's testicles from halfway across a battlefield, so break out your M1 Garand and get reducing the Reich’s virtual headcount, because this game is well worth a look, despite its shortcomings.
