Sniper Elite 4 Deluxe Edition

Maybe the best stealth game I've ever played since the original PS1 Tenchu and Tenchu 2. Or maybe better to say that it's the one I've had the most fun with, which isn't quite the same thing. What I tend to hate most about modern shooters is the tendency towards damage sinks and frantic action, because given the choice I'll always be slowly emptying the base from a distance. Sniper Elite 4 is probably the best experience of that I've ever had, with workable stealth, enemies smart enough to respond but not so smart that their response is realistically boring (like those Splinter Cell levels where detection = instant loss, as it probably would in any genuine infiltration of a military base), and levels large enough to both maintain an open-world feel and support a wide variety of approaches. (Snipe most of them, yes, but mine a body here and set a tripwire there...) The best part is how differently it plays at different difficulty levels and the fine-grained control over that difficulty. On the easiest preset it is essentially impossible to lose. If you get seen then you can just run towards enemies and full Rambo them. To die you have to do something like run through a minefield or attack a tank with a pistol in the open. The minimap and magic binocular tagging (see someone once and you will know exactly where they are forever!) are amazingly exploitable. The breath mechanism makes it all but impossible to miss with a rifle even at extreme long range. It doesn't matter if you're seen because enemies will forget 30 seconds later and just start patrolling over their dead comrade's exploded testicles. (Sidebar: apparently this series is known for its "kill cam", which shows a detailed view of the bullet entering and hitting skull, neck, lungs, heart etc., or indeed balls. You can turn this off.) Conversely, the two hardest difficulty levels ("Authentic" and "Authentic Plus") have realistic ballistics (wind is especially painful) and breath control only steadies the reticle. Scopes and binoculars can no longer zoom. Hitting anyone at extreme long distance is genuinely extremely difficult, let alone getting a perfect headshot. Enemies are very alert. Even UI elements are removed, e.g. you have to rely on heart-rate sounds to determine breathlessness. I find it too hard to be fun and the jankiness becomes more frustrating, but I can see why people like it as a more serious and immersive sniper simulator. For me it's perfect somewhere in the middle, a...

The best sniper game ever, they fix problems with AI.

Sniper Elite 4 is a very good sniper game in a nice setting in Italy, with the option to play the campaign in co-op with another player. There is also an alternative horde mode. The Deluxe Edition includes the season pass with all DLC, such as new levels, new weapons, new weapon skins and characters.

I bought a good game cheaply and I'm having fun with my friends. Thank you for the good game.

Tense sniping action, and close quarters for those who like to get close and personal. Sniper Elite 4 has these in abundance, with an excellent selection of weaponry and vast, detailed locations in war time Italy. With co-op in the campaign for those who enjoy playing alongside a friend/ally, Sniper Elite 4 is the pinnacle of the series so far.

This game is very interesting and has beautiful graphics. If you buy this game, you'll know you've done a great thing. Enjoy...

Pretty much just another entry into the sniper elite series, same gameplay and mechanics, different story. Not a bad game, not exceptional either.

Sneaking around killing Nazis. Sniper cam never gets old. Improvement over previos games in the series.
