Sniper Elite 4 Deluxe Edition

Very good gamne overall, lot of replay ability had a lot of fun.

Not what I thought about it when I saw the traile

Surprisingly, this fine game draws older guys. You seldom find people under 25 playing in co-op. No women stick around in this game. NEVER are co-op players under age 18. It's NOT a twitch game. I once played a four man survival game at age 74, and I was the youngest player! Okay, okay -- that IS rare. The survival modes are fun for friends to play, or to MAKE friends. Time to chat while plundering the dead, and then back to battle. The top two difficulty levels are particularly rewarding in all modes, but there's a challenging learning curve to overcome at that point. Maybe 2-8 hours of play. At these prices, it's well worth trying. And if you have an older gamer friend, it makes for a fine gift. Assuming it's a guy.

Played the first mission yesterday. I could not stop until I completed it. Planning on doing next.

Really good game, Improves on all aspects of the previous ones. I suggest playing it in coop.

This is one of the best stealth shooters with great story and gameplay, the graphics are very good even after 5 years, and it is running really well. Really good game overall.

If you want a sniping game that is a bit more realistic and in-depth (in terms of mechanics) this is likely for you. Depending on the difficulty, you have to adjust your aiming for range (to account for bullet drop and travel time). Your heart rate determines your stability of aim when scoping so you can't just rush in and then quickscope enemies. Other than that it's a relatively standard stealth game. Enemy AI is passable but not great - sometimes you get spotted seemingly instantly from across the map, other times they don't see/hear you when you're really close to them. Mildly annoying, but doesn't ruin gameplay. The series' X-Ray cam (slow-motion X-Ray of your bullet, so for example you see it entering the skull and penetrating the brain) is a cool feature because it's fairly unique but it gets boring quite quickly. It feels like there's <30 different things that can happen. A headshot almost always looks the same, regardless of angle. I would have liked some more variety. The X-Ray killcam can be turned off though which is a nice option. There's plenty of different snipers (and SMGs and pistols) with different stats, each of them can unlock 3 upgrades and then a "master skin" by grinding certain objectives (kill x enemies while crouching, get x environmental kills (explosive barrels), get x collateral kills, etc.). Whether this is worth its price really depends on how you play the game. I played through every level on (I believe) normal difficulty with a friend, which took us about 8h, roughly 30-60min per level. Each level has some main objectives and optional side objectives (which we tried to complete). After completing a level once, you unlock challenges for that level which you can complete. Stuff like "kill x enemies with y weapon", "don't let the guy on the watchtower call for reinforcements" and such and there's also quite a few collectables. So if you want to 100% the game, you'll probably get a fair amount of playtime. For just playing every map/mission/level once, you probably are looking at less than 10h of playtime, though it was mostly fun far for me. There is also PvP multiplayer which I have not played. Unless you are a completionist and/or really enjoy PvP, I'd only recommend this on sale. For ~12€ I'm quite happy with my purchase though

It's a good game, not really reinventing the genre but it doesn't have to.
