- Sniper Elite 5 is a solid follow-up. It won’t change the formula or anyone’s mind who finds these games boring or shallow. Still being available on Game Pass day one is a huge bonus. It is more than worth playing and I recommend at least checking it out. It is unapologetic violence and the design is high quality. This is the definition of gaming fast food, a treat for all the senses.
Ken McKown · Jun 22, 2022 Reviewed on Series X|SRead full review - Ultimately, Sniper Elite 5 is a tactical shooter you enjoy alone or with a friend. There is an exact number of improvements from the predecessor. With the improved mechanics, you can create more methods of eliminating your enemies, and the kill cams are better than ever. The bugs and glitches should be addressed.
Junior Onunkwo · Jun 13, 2022 Reviewed on Series X|SRead full review - Sniper Elite 5 makes small attempts at innovation but not enough to stop it from being a fairly safe entrant into the Sniper Elite franchise. The enhanced killcam, extensive weapon customization, and better skill trees help to improve the experience over Sniper Elite 4.
Rebecca Smith · Jun 06, 2022 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - If you’re wondering if it’s worth picking up, I guess I’d say that it probably is. If you’ve never played a Sniper Elite game before, Sniper Elite 5 is as good as any to jump in with. You don’t need previous experience to understand what’s going on.
Zoey Handley · Jun 02, 2022 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - Under the right circumstances Sniper Elite 5 is a decent, occasionally great, stealth game—surprising enough to give it an edge, but too inconsistent to keep it. It wisely has its eye on the competition; it just can't quite hit the mark.
Sam Greer · Jun 01, 2022 Reviewed on PCRead full review - The new invasion mode also makes missions more challenging by allowing human players to enter your game and take the role of an Axis sniper, though you can obviously disable this mode if you just want to stick with single-player action. So overall, Sniper Elite 5 has a little bit of everything, eventually creating one of the most solid gameplays of the year so far.
Bogdan Popa · Jun 01, 2022 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - Sniper Elite 5 is definitely the best of a series that continues to grow with each installment. I’m happy to say that this one has some of the most meaningful updates to its formula to date. The heavy focus on more involved maps, and gameplay freedom within them is a breath of fresh air and exactly what this series needs. The addition of the multiplayer elements with invasions adds an entirely new dynamic that is exhilarating.
Jordan Hawes · May 31, 2022 Reviewed on Series X|SRead full review - Sniper Elite 5 is a great game with a few flaws that hold it back. It still shines like lens flare at the distance aiming you down. And if you let it shoot, it will catch you by the brain and truly make you do nothing but get sucked into the world of strategic sniping.
Jarren Navarrete · May 31, 2022 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Sniper Elite 5 successfully builds on the foundations of Rebellion's long running series, but some glitches do hamper the experience somewhat.
Ash Bates · May 30, 2022 Reviewed on Series X|SRead full review - Despite the minor issues and that odd design choice, Sniper Elite 5 is a fun game for newcomers to the series and longtime fans. It caters to a wide variety of gamers, providing both easy and difficult challenges that anyone can set up and then overcome in their own way. Overall, it's a high-quality game that further improves the stellar legacy of the entire series.
