Save Italy! Sniper Elite 4 Review

in Hive Gaming9 months ago

Hello game lovers! Today we don't have TFT on our menu and today we are a sniper! We will try to save Italy from Nazi fascism. I know it's not an easy task, but the mission awaits us guys!

When I bought this game a few months ago for a very cheap price, I didn't have any expectations and I've never played a stealth game before, I've never played a game about sniping, unless you count a few silly games I played in the browser as a kid. When I first opened Sniper Elite 4, it was a bit of a pain for my computer, but then I turned the graphics down a bit and everything was fine. Despite that, I have to say that the game looks amazing graphically. Some of the landscapes in the game are perfectly designed. I watched some of them for a few minutes while sipping my coffee. It's too bad the game doesn't have a photo mode, but since our goal is to kill people instead of landscapes, I'm okay with that :P

There is a short tutorial at the beginning of the game. There they show you the basics of the game and as the game progresses you discover some things yourself. There is a mission system in the game and there are usually 4-5 missions to complete on a map. The maps are not huge but they are still big, especially some of them are really big. You can go around a lot of places like an open world. It's too bad that you can't enter most of the buildings in the game. They probably didn't want to bother with filling the buildings. One of the things that annoys me is that some of the buildings that can be entered are also empty. It shouldn't be so hard to make buildings with ammunition, bandages, different weapons inside. When there are already very few buildings that can be entered, don't make them empty!

Another thing that I didn't feel good about in the game is the stealth element. Yes, in some situations you really need to hide, but when I started the game I literally tried to play hiding and it's impossible! You can't go from one place to another hiding. After a couple of attempts I took a look at YouTube to see how people do it and they don't hide, not at all. It was like a classic action game, take cover, kill enemies, move forward, kill more enemies, clear the area and keep moving forward. It was weird for me because I thought the main theme of the game was stealth. A sniper should be stealthy, right?

Some of the mechanics that I liked in the game are that you can loot the people you kill and you can carry their bodies. Don't get any ideas, we're not Nazis, we're just hiding them so our enemies won't find them XD I played the game for more than 15 hours and there were very few places where I ran out of ammunition. This is a positive point for me, I don't want to look for bullets everywhere. The artificial intelligence in the game is not very advanced, but I think this is entirely due to the fact that I play in normal mode. I shoot their friends and they look for me and sometimes they look in the wrong place, anyway it doesn't feel too bad. When you kill two people, the third one detects where you are and starts attacking.

Oh if you bought the game and you are planning to play it, I recommend you to turn down the sound. I think I was doing mission 2 and someone was chasing me and the music suddenly got so loud I was shocked. Calm down dude I'm not really going to die, you don't need to wake up my upstairs neighbor. Other than that, I have to say that the sounds in the game are good. It immerses you in the atmosphere.

Let's talk about the bugs in the game. When you switch to another tab while playing the game, the game gives an error and you cannot open the tab of the game. You have to close the game and restart it. Isn't that the most ridiculous thing in the world? I mean, how can there be such an error? And it's still unnoticed? And when you play the game, you mark the mission locations on the map and go there. Your mission is to find and kill someone in an area. Guess what! The person you are looking for is not in that area. Or maybe there is a tunnel under the ground and the path to that tunnel may be above the ground, but the man is underground and outside the area XD I experienced this while completing the 5th mission and I can say that it really stole time from my life.

These are my opinions about Sniper Elite 4. I can say that the game is good in general, but you can get bored after a while. Maybe it can be good as a game where you relieve stress for 45 minutes a day. That's why my score is 6.5/10.

Thank you for reading, I hope you liked it. Have you tried this game before? What are your thoughts about the game? Don't forget to share with me in the comments section. Take care and have a great day gamers!

You should report the bugs you found. They’re so funny 😂 I can imagine the frustration you felt when you went to the marker on the map only to find the target missing. 😂

Seems like a good game to pass time, like few minutes of time. But probably not worth buying if it’s too expensive.

I don't know what the price is in your country now, but I bought it for less than 1 dollar at the time.

I did it through Steam, I hope they make the necessary fixes XD

I understand when you buy without expectations and you simply find that it is a game that you may never finish playing. You should do a review in your store account about the game and the bugs you mention, I would definitely only try it if Epic gives it away hahaha. Greetings and thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the advice yeah I made a report for the bugs.

I hope you can get it for free, you can finish the game in 15 hours btw I think mine take that time

Thanks for answer my friend! yeah i try to catch up when see a good free offer xD

I am impressed with the graphics of this game. In the meantime I'm playing Call of Duty 1 without a graphics card hahahaha. I'll see if I can upload screenshots of each mission played here.

Excellent review my friend, it's good everything you mention, thank goodness you warned me, because I play with my headphones at full volume, I don't want my eardrum to explode if I ever play this game. And on the other hand we agree that it is impossible to allow this kind of bugs like the tab. It seems like they released the game for sale without reviewing it, crazy. Best regards my friend!

Man, I'm listening to songs on YouTube and I've never heard my computer so loud before. It was like the game world was inside my house XD

Looking forward to see your screenshots and review about Call of Duty 1
