Sniper Elite 4

Great game. Lots of achievements if that's your thing. Lots locked behind a paywall though

Satisfying and detailed sniping mechanics, the X-Ray is just fucking awesome, definitely get this, it's relatively cheap.

nice music, solid gameplay, delete nazguls.

Nice game overall 7/10.

This game lets you slow down and carefully plan how to eliminate the fascist squad guarding those crucial documents you need. Moving stealthily through the beautifully crafted, natural-looking environments, you’re free to approach each mission however you like, rather than being forced down a rigid, linear path.

The stunning visuals, immersive landscapes, and atmospheric audio pull you right into the world. The tension rises as Karl’s heartbeat races when enemies hear your shots and start searching for you. The way the German and Italian voices of approaching enemies blend seamlessly with the sounds of rustling trees and chirping birds adds another layer of realism. On top of that, the dynamic soundtrack shifts with the action—building suspense when you're hidden and intensifying as you sprint for cover under enemy fire.

The mission objectives—retrieving documents, blowing up bridges, and more—stay engaging because there are multiple ways to complete them. You can go in guns blazing or sneak through undetected like a ghost. As I played more, I discovered even deeper tactical elements, like using mines, decoys, and distractions to mislead enemies and shift their focus.

The only real annoyance I had was with the auto-save system, which sometimes saves right after I’ve been exposed, leaving me scrambling for safety every time I reload. Also, the AI can be a bit odd in alert mode, with enemies occasionally sliding strangely while running for cover or taking cover in bizarre spots.

And of course, the slow-motion x-ray kill cam? Absolutely satisfying after landing a perfect long-range shot.

7/10— Recommended!

This game was a lot of fun. It has clear objectives and very pretty scenery. The 'x-ray' slow motion shots when you pull off a special shot is also really cool. The button mapping for the xbox controller was well thought out and felt very natural - at no point did I feel ill equipped to execute a mission. This game is a fun way to kill a rainy Sunday afternoon.

This game is a combination of proper Sniper Elite mechanics, comfortable gameplay, and, for the most part, really beautiful landscapes. San Cellini Island, Abrunza Monastery, Bitanti Village, and Regilino Viaduct are all very picturesque settings. Not so much Lorino Dockyard and Allagra Fortress. But the missions and their relevant challenges are, overall, good and very good.

Fun third person "sneaker" with first person sniping. So many different ways to kill enemies and complete missions. I have been trying to get all the 5 extra objects for each mission. I just completed getting all the eagles.

An excellent sniper game, featuring expansive maps and diverse terrains, offering a rich variety of tactical gameplay options. Unlike other shooting games, it places a greater emphasis on the player's patience and precision. The kill cam provides players with an additional shooting excitement.

Sniper Elite 4 is pure gameplay fun. It is not about graphics and story but gameplay mechanics, and these work really good. Funny thing is, that the game feels almost like a game from the PS3 or Xbox360 era.

Excellent game, once I figured out how to aim, and more importantly, once I stopped treating it like a stealth game and learnt to just mow down enemies when things went sour, I found myself unable to stop playing! The only complaint I have is that you can't see where your rounds are landing on the firing range when you miss, would have been helpful figuring out the rifle at the start.

Otherwise, play authentic difficulty and don't look back!

Probably the best Sniper Elite game in the series to this day, and likely the closest the series has ever been to perfection.

Haven't even kind of liked a war game in like 15 years, but I only recently tried this out and I love it. Really great to see a campaign mode that isn't over as soon as it begins, and they really give you a tremendous amount of freedom to play it a number of different ways. Sniping is amazing, but I knew there was no going back after I sticky grenaded the patrol boat at the start of the second level and started to use the trip wire mines. So much fun, and they offer like 5 or 6 different skill options so you can play as casually or seriously as you like.

Pretty chill game for co-op and if you want to up the heat then the hardest difficulty is for you because it starts to remind of Dark souls. I love to pull my hair out of my scalp when the hardest difficulty doesnt have save games in a mission. If you die, you die... and start from the beginning.

Sniper Elite 4 takes everything great about the series and refines it into one of the best stealth-action games out there. The large, open-ended maps give you complete freedom in how you approach each mission, whether you want to set traps, sneak through enemy lines, or pick off targets from hundreds of meters away. The iconic X-ray kill cam is as brutal and satisfying as ever, making every long-distance shot feel rewarding. Enemy AI is smarter than in previous games, forcing you to think carefully about positioning and escape routes. With its deep ballistics system, satisfying stealth mechanics, and co-op options, Sniper Elite 4 offers a tactical experience that never gets old.

Even though it’s been out for a while, Sniper Elite 4 still holds up thanks to its solid gameplay and replayability. The campaign remains fun, and the multiplayer/co-op modes add even more value. If you’re a fan of stealth games or just love the thrill of long-range sniping, this is absolutely worth picking up—especially when it’s on sale. It’s one of the best in the series and still a blast to play today.

Great game that looks beautiful, has fun gameplay, innovates with new features, and keeps everything great about the previous Sniper Elite games. Great to coop with or play solo to eliminate your foes.

crashes a lot, can't remember playing a game that crashes this much. i9, 4090

pretty fun, but buggy as well and movement is a bit janky, so the fun factor gets chipped away. as i try for 100%, i feel like the game is buggy with drops. and the organ shots are more of dice rolls than accuracy shots

Very, very good. I have Deluxe Edition and it's worth it. The game has been bought on Black Friday with huge discount and I'm very happy of this purchase.

this is THE sniper elite game. the best one. dont bother buy sniper elite 5 or whatever that other new one is. resistance, or something.

What a great game! From the gun mechanics to the movement and the maps its just overall just a AMAZING GAME!

Without a doubt, the best Sniper Elite game to exist. Yes, it's better than 5 imo. The authentic+ difficulty is great, the achievements are fun, I love the map designs, especially Giovi Fiorini Mansion which is my all time favorite. Oh and Regilino Viaduct which I also really enjoy.
10/10 great game

Sound was completely broken for me, with 90% of audio effects being only in my left ear, which sort of ruined the entire experience. But the rest of the game is not really good enough to bother troubleshooting the audio issues when you can just play SE5 or SE resistance instead

Sniper Elite 4 is one of the best sniper-focused games I have ever played, offering a perfect blend of stealth, tactical gameplay, and open-ended level design. Set in World War II Italy, the game follows elite sniper Karl Fairburne as he works to weaken the Axis forces. Unlike many shooters, it does not rely on fast-paced action but instead rewards patience, precision, and strategy. The large, beautifully designed maps give players multiple ways to approach objectives, encouraging exploration and creativity.

One of the standout features is the X-ray kill cam, which makes every well-placed shot feel satisfying as it shows bullets tearing through bones and organs in brutal detail. The sniping mechanics are highly realistic, requiring players to account for factors like bullet drop, wind, and heart rate. This adds a level of depth that makes long-range kills rewarding. However, the game is not just about sniping; stealth and environmental kills play a major role. Setting traps, using distractions, and silently taking down enemies are just as important as lining up the perfect shot.

While the AI can sometimes feel predictable, the game still offers a solid challenge, especially on higher difficulties. The co-op and multiplayer modes add even more replay value, making it enjoyable with friends. The story is not groundbreaking, but it serves its purpose well enough. Overall, Sniper Elite 4 is a fantastic tactical shooter that delivers a satisfying sniping experience and a well-designed open-ended gameplay structure.

If more than 2 soldiers discovers me and can't kill them quickly, I scream at home and shut down the game with ALT + F4, after a while come back to play again until someone discovers me again or my heartbeat accelerates until I get uncomfortably stressed.

The game is fun but very repetitive.

in the current climate in the news, the US, the world in general, is there anything more satisfying than sniping Nazis for that one hit kill headshot?

Every game in this series is better than the previous one and this one is no exception
Absolutely worth playing

For stealth players, this is likely the best (and most stable) of the Sniper Elite series so far, IF you want to challenges from easy to veteran (authentic+) difficulty. This game has it all. Plus you can usually get it for a very low price(if you look around), including its season pass.

For anyone wanting to get a good start in the series, this is best way. It's the most well made and it's easily the least expensive of the recent entries, while still having a fine presentation and all the gameplay perks.

So far this is one of my favorite games. It's pretty much like Sniper Elite 3 except much bigger environments. You have so much freedom and open terrain allowing you a lot of choices on how you will carry out your objectives. The game gives you options so you can play the game the way you want. If you don't have patience and want to just go in Rambo style you can set the game to a low difficulty setting but on the highest difficulty setting you need to take a slower more stealthy approach.

The Ultimate Sniper Experience

I've played a lot of sniper games, but Sniper Elite 4 nails the feeling like no other. The Authentic difficulty is next-level—no HUD, no aim assist, just you, your rifle, and the battlefield. Every shot feels earned, every mission requires patience, and the immersion is incredible.

The open-ended level design lets you approach objectives your way, and the ballistics system makes long-range kills insanely satisfying. Plus, those X-ray kill cams? Never get old.

This series keeps getting better, and I want more.

If you're into tactical shooters, stealth, or just the pure joy of lining up the perfect shot, Sniper Elite 4 is a must-play.

10/10, see you in the scope. 🎯

Feels like a combination playing hide and seek and being agent 47 from the Hit-man series, but with explosions and a slow-motion X-ray cam for extra flair. You’ll spend hours perched on rooftops, feeling like a silent assassin ...until you miss a shot and alert every enemy within a mile radius.

It's a good Sniper Elite game.
It's got excellent gunplay, good level designs, good weapon selection and decent stealth.

BUT, the big issue is the wind in this game which for most people will not be a problem as you have the aim assist when you hold your breath while in the sniper scope. However, you don't get the aim assist if you're on Authentic / Authentic + difficulty modes and because the wind in this game is buggered, it makes landing shots in authentic + even from 50m away a very hard task depending on the map. It is made doubly hard by the fact you can hardly see your tracer and that every enemy has laser accuracy in Authentic. It makes the experience extremely hard and tedious.
But, if you play coop the game has a chance of shitting itself so it gives you infinite consumables which somewhat make up for the buggy and unrealistic wind.

7.5/10 for me overall

Excellent single player game worth the price when on sale.

Hours of FPS game play and allows multiple strategies. I played through twice. The first time, I was stealthy, using melee and silenced pistols to take down enemies, doing my best not to be seen or set off alarms. The second time, I stood off at 100m+ and blasted away with a sniper rifle. So, I was spotted -- whatever. Breakout the Tommy gun and spray away. Great fun both ways.

Some objectives have multiple options. For instance, blowing up a control room or blowing up the device the room controls. (Sniper Elite 5 had this too. )

It's one thing to watch a YouTuber play this game and it's another to play it. For a long time, I didn't play this game because I'd already seen a bunch of YouTubers play it but I was instantly hooked by the open world and guerrilla tactics. I'm now hooked on this series.
There's nothing like booby-trapping all the corners and entrances to a building that you're hiding in. I liked this game so much, I made sure to do all of the side missions. It was definitely a fun time.

I hide. I shoot. I very sneaky. In the game. Not in real life.

Of any game I have ever played as a sniper, this is my #1 favorite, even over all other Sniper Elite games.

Patience and stalking. 288.2 Hours into this game and it clearly passes the cost-benefit test. Any game where you play so many hours that you paid less than $1 an hour is a great game. Buy it. You will not regret it!

A fun yet difficult challenge of a game where you can be just a ghost sniper or a one man army. Now me personally I enjoy being a sniper in shooter games and this was my cup of tea, the wepons were also great M1 grand (even though it was dlc) and the Luger (unfortunatley also dlc) just great weapons to use so much fun.

perfected this game every part is perfect no bugs nor unrealistic parts (:

I've had a lot of fun with the game, even with it being a little clunky.
If you can get it for a reasonable price, do yourself the favour.
And don't sweat it, if you're not the best shot or anything, the difficulties are really flexible.

a game that can be quite fun to play. I got to shoot Hitler in the balls. the controls are fine, though they could be better. in comparison, MGSVPP controls are much more responsive so when it comes to shooters, MGSVPP has this game beat. Like for example, in SE4, the camera is harder to move while you are sprinting and you have to stop sprinting to get full control of the camera. the settings too could be better, like it has no option for DLSS/FSR because it's an older game. i think the devs made good design choices with these Sniper Elite games. i enjoy the artistic and visual design overall. it's a game with realistic graphics, but does not focus too much on photorealism, which is not a bad thing because that would tank FPS. basically, in terms of optimization, this game is alright.

not too hard. not too easy. great graphics. yes game

its's not bad really great experience ngl. the slowmo shoots are really cool but after a certain amount of time they going to feel really long. story is kind a long and little boring over the period of time. other then that it's really nice ! maybe going to try the 5 too

Still so much fun after all of these years. I played this on console and bought it on Steam for PC. I will never go back to console. Beautiful game. Challenging enemies and environments. Well worth the money spent.

Good game and solid entry in the Sniper Elite series. Gameplay lives up to standard of previous sniper elite games and fun to play, fans and newcomers alike will enjoy it.

It has great mechanics, even though I dont like the overall movement and patient, sneaky sniper experience. Also, it feels too repetitive. The rest is better, with great animations/bullet cam and graphics.

I didnt plan to play that much to care about storytelling parts and I dont think its the main thing of this series, so I skipped them. Still, its a good game with a 90% discount.

This game is very enjoyable but can be frustrating at times. I'm not currently a huge fan of the mechanic where you have a wheel to select items and then a key to activate the selected item as it feels like a double interaction to get where you're going, though it's something I could probably get used to.
It's not entirely realistic, but probably walks the line between realism and play-ability as competently as any other game of the genre.
The commentary can be amusing but a bit repetitive. The comments after they give up looking for you totally break immersion at times (The kind of commentary that Viva la Dirt League love to satire.)
In conclusion, it's not a sniper simulator, but it's an enjoyable arcade game if you enjoy the idea of being a sniper.

I bought this and Elite 5 in a sale, played this first and then returned to it after playing 5, great game, it's 90% of the titles which follow for a lot less money, in some ways this game is better than the later one. New to this type of game but really got into it, played 'easy' at first and now on much harder difficulty, really enjoying it. Plays beautifully on my PC, a really well crafted and coded game, great details. Recommended.

Good game, main campaign and general physics are cool.

Great CO-OP campaign game; Conversely, the graphic detail is exiting and the game play is challenging.

I was in a 1v1 game with my homie and we spent the whole match playing mind games with one another while sneaking around a large map.

10/10 experience
