Sniper Elite 4 - PlayStation 4

Originally bought this for my husband. Watched him play while sitting in the room working on something else. It was interesting how you can go anywhere and go after most options in any way you wish to do them. Depending on how difficult you set it up, it changes the way the Nazi's behave.I am not a huge video game fan, however, I started on Sniper Elite 3 and really enjoyed it. Then I finally bought this game on disk, so I could play it too as hubby was always playing in his free time. I have gotten to the Sniper Elite difficulty but decided not to go further because I didn't want to have to figure out how to aim without the aid of the little diamond and like seeing where the Nazis are on the little map.There is so much built into this game that it is one of my favorite video games ever. The first game I ever played was Pong. So I am old school. I like the games that allow you the freedom to shape your play in a way that fits you. My husband goes gangbusters into herds of Nazis and I like to kill them with head shots from a distance. I like to kill every single Nazi until there are none left and my husband just finishes the missions. Both of us are happy with the freedom. I actually like to play it when I am trying to relax after working or when my brain is too tired to study.San Celini is a nice introduction to the game. There are no snipers in that mission. Good one for distance sniping. The second mission (the Village) is more difficult. If you are not stealthy, the radio guy will call in the Jagers and you will have your hands full. You can hear the Nazis killing the Partisans in the background, so there is a sense of urgency. The visuals are stunning. Lots of the missions are near water. The quality of the water and waves is great. During night missions there are even bugs around the lights. During the Viaduct mission the scenery is lovely. I highly suggest you wear headphones on that one and some of the others because you hear crickets and birds, depending on where you are. I have all the extra missions too. You have to have those. The trophies are fun sometimes. You can even shoot out most of the lights, just for fun. Depending on the mission, you may wish to use generators as a sound masker or rig them so one of the Nazis will get blown up when they fiddle with it. I killed an officer just the other day by rigging the generator. You can choose what weapons and other devices you bring with you when you start. I am a fan of the silenced rifle ammo.Again, this is my favorite game. Everything is winnable. There are no missions that are too challenging. I would have rated God of War better if the last Valkyrie was not so hard to beat and there were a little more too it. I also liked the Lara Croft series of games but again, they have silly bosses that are just put in to make it difficult. The crazy difficult bosses actually detract from fully enjoying the game when you have to play a boss over and over again to get to the next location or level. I don't find that enjoyable.All around, for the reasons that I have mentioned, Sniper Elite is fun to play, as challenging as you desire it to be, and not distracted by levels that are too hard to beat. You can play it over and over again and still get surprised by the programming. You can change how you approach the missions every single time. The extras are awesome! Scenery is realistic. Movement of people is realistic, although not perfect. Bodies can end up quite contorted when they die or sometimes float above the ground. Aiming is very good, although yesterday, there was a lot of drift and the Nazis were jerking around a bit. Part of the design. It changes based on what level of difficulty you choose or if you customize the difficulty.If you are going to buy any video game for a first person shooter, I could not recommend this one more strongly. Just buy it. You will thank me. :-)

In my opinion, the best Sniper Elite so far with one exception... other than the primary sniper rifle, the other weapons (until you can upgrade them) are useless unless you get a headshot. All the AI's seem like supermen as I hit them with 10, 15, or 20 rounds before they die. I gave up shooting close in enemies preferring to melee them instead. Maybe when they make SE 5, they'll actually have local citizens on the streets and in homes and buildings to add another dimension to finding and taking out the enemy. As it is, aside from the cut scenes, a few partisans appear in two chapters in very negligent roles, otherwise the only other players are the enemy. I love the fact that you can melee from the front as well as from behind, huge improvement.Update... As of this writing, I finally achieved the rank of "Elite 100" but it took awhile . Along the way I learned a lot about this game and how to keep it interesting instead of repetitive. I'm pretty much hooked on playing it in the "Authentic Hardcore" level of difficulty because of the greater point totals for each kill/destruction. Of course the challenges are that you have very little help while playing through each mission. There is no "Hud" help, no target " Reticle " (red crosshair), there are no targets visible or distance to them, no weapon load, health indicators hud, you have to use the bumpers to select weapons and ammo type, no scope adjustments, no binocular adjustments, but you do get the "windage indicator" as your only help. The only difference between "Authentic Hardcore" and " Authentic Plus " is that you get all the target information after a kill ( distance, type..liver,headshot, etc. assisted, high ground, weapon type and more) Authentic Plus gives you nothing except point totals when you complete the mission.A good set of surround sound headphones will give you a good advantage because you can hear the enemies sneaking up behind you. Really need to be cautious and SAVE OFTEN!!You will find yourself in some real tough situations that you may not want to repeat over and over again, very frustrating. She upgrading weapons, it's best to do so in the "Cadet" level of difficulty as it will be much easier and faster.Since this is an "Open World" or Sandbox" type game, you can play it in many different ways attack from many different directions,and use a variety of weapons to help with each mission. There are small maps like "Bitanti Village" where all targets are less than 200m. Then there are large maps like the "Rigilino Viaduct" where the "Stone eagles" are nearly 800m away!After playing SE4 for some time now, I am pretty sure I've seen all the features, including near impossible shots, that "Rebellion" has to offer. What a great game. I'll keep playing it until hopefully they offer SE5!

Great game, everyone should get a copy and especially the Season Pass. The silenced rife (Deisle Carbine) is fun as heck. Bought the game for about 45 bucks and a week or two later, it dropped in price to 30. My bad luck. lol Game is worth 45 but wish I had waited and got it for 30. Game does have some bugs in it. Satchel charges will not appear on the bridge with the rail gun, vehicles will sometimes not have satchel charges on them (very rare). Driver slots that you can sniper thru to kill the drivers of armored vehicles are sometime missing. Can't kill the driver or gunner. Quick tip, if you can't use a satchel charge because it glitched away. Use TNT with a timer or some explosives from your inventory to destroy smaller armored vehicles. Adhesive grenades are not going to stop a tank but are great to use on a Nazi sentry. Your guns might not appear that you have purchased thru DLC. If this happens, switch to another game (digital game is easier) and switch back your Sniper Elite 4 game and the guns should be back. The Silent Pack is excellent. SPOILERS Poor shots will like this. You have to stop the plane from leaving the tarmac with the missile and going off to kill President Ike. The plane will take off and circle back. If you are a good shot and take out the engines, you win. If you are a poor shot, Ike will get killed by the missile and you will fail. Instead of going for the engines, TAG the plane with your binoculars, take out as many as the soldiers firing at you as you can. Save a health pack for lowering your heart rate. Shoot the missile under the plane and the plane blows up. Mission accomplished. Great game with plenty of replay value. You can play and save anywhere at anytime, wish all games had it.

Very satisfied with the game.Great line of games if that's your type

My first sniper game, great graphics, large open world per scenario, game play. Excellent slow motion shots.Bought the next one in the series.

O produto chegou rápido e bem embalado, estou muito satisfeito.

Llegó más rápido de lo esperado.

Este juego me ha dejado muy buen sabor de boca, jugablemente quizás podría estar un poco mas refinado pues si se seinte un poco tosco. Pero en general es bastante bueno.La tensión que provoca cuidar tu estamina para no perder el pulso a la hora de disparar, el estrés que transmiten los enemigos cuando han detectado nuestra ubicación, son sensaciones inigualables.La balística se toma muy en serio, afectando sobre la bala tanto la caída por gravedad como la velocidad y dirección del viento. El juego te premia por hacer muertes ocultando el ruido de los disparos con otros sonidos como explosiones, aviones que pasan cerca, etc.Ofrece distintos niveles de dificultad yendo desde lo mas sencillo, donde el juego se vuelve un paseo por las praderas y villas Italianas. Hasta modos de juego para los mas hardcore sin ningún tipo de ayuda.Muchos coleccionables y objetivos secundarios que lo vuelven altamente rejugable.En conclusión, muy recomendable si te gustan los juegos de Sigilo.
