Being detected in any way meant an instant revert to a previous save and, although we've given in to some of the more bombastic aspects of the game as Rebellion has finessed the mechanics and AI around "going loud", we've never really been 100% comfortable outside of a pure stealth route. The Sniper Elites of old, for us at least, were save-scummy affairs first and foremost, games we simply had to play a certain way, remaining as a ghost as we spirited through enemy lines, picking off grunts, officers, generals and celebrated Nazi bastards.
#SNEAKY NINJA SNIPER GAME SERIES#
It's been seventeen years now since we first got a taste for Rebellion's superlative Sniper Elite series and, in the years that have followed, it's a franchise that has steadily grown and evolved into a sure thing, a safe bet, in terms of serving up slick, satisfying and highly replayable slo-mo sniper action for fans of exploding skulls and X-Ray testicle shots alike.Īs fun as it's always been, this is a series you can sense has been restlessly shifting over the years too, as it attempts to find some sort of perfect balance between its sneaky stealth shooting and the all-out action gameplay that results from best laid plans gone awry.
