Sniper Elite 5 delivers some of the best-feeling gunplay in the series. Shooting is responsive, satisfying and flexible, with secondary weapons finally feeling genuinely useful instead of just backup tools. SMGs, pistols and rifles all have a place in combat, and the moment-to-moment shooting feels more natural and impactful than in previous entries. Even on higher difficulties, the core act of engaging enemies — especially headshots and mid-range firefights — feels smooth and rewarding. However, the map design is noticeably weaker compared to earlier games like Sniper Elite 4. Many levels feel less like heavily occupied warzones and more like loosely populated environments with combat “pockets” scattered throughout. Sightlines are often shorter, key defensive positions are inconsistently manned and iconic long-range sniper scenarios are less common. This reduces the feeling of being a long-distance sniper and shifts the experience toward mid-range infiltration. Enemy placement and escalation also feel less impactful than expected. Alarm states do not significantly change the flow of encounters and bases often feel under-defended despite having lots of visible military infrastructure like cannons and machine guns that are rarely used. Counter-snipers are easier to deal with and typically positioned in predictable, close-range locations, which further reduces tension during engagements. Overall, the game is worth recommending if your priority is satisfying gunplay and flexible combat. If you are looking for the classic Sniper Elite experience of long-range sniping, heavily defended strongpoints and high-tension battlefield planning, earlier entries in the series deliver that better. Sniper Elite 5 is at its best when you treat it as a tactical action shooter with sniper elements rather than a pure long-range sniper simulator.
Sehr gutes Action-Spiel, vor allem die Schuss- und Röntgendarstellungen und auch die Missionen sind schön gestaltet. Allerdings muss man auch sagen das es nicht ganz ohne Bugs ist, obwohl es ein Full Release ist, mir ist es schon passiert das ich durch einen Erdhügel einfach unter die Map gefallen bin und nicht wieder raus kam, was natürlich nicht so schön ist. Aber alles in allem ein sehr gelungenes Spiel.
Good
Why is this called Sniper Elite instead of Sneaking Elite? The game gives no incentive to use a sniper rifle, being more tailored to a Assassin's Creed-like approach, where crouching and sneaking to get a melee stealth kill yields better results. Refunded without regrets.
хорошая игра
Eine klare Kaufempfehlung. Das Spiel ist in jeden Modus (Kampf, Schleichen, etc.) spielbar und macht richtig Spaß. Gute Ablenkung für den Feierabend.

head go boom
Richtig gut gemacht das Spiel und als Taktik-versierte Spielerin habe ich mittlerweile einen Heidenspaß daran gefunden, in mein Spiel eindringende Scharfschützenjäger den Hintern ordentlich zu versohlen. Vor allem die klassischen "Call of Duty" Zocker habe ich besonders lieb. Wenn sie meinen, mir durch hektisches umherlaufen und wild durch die Gegend ballern entkommen zu können. Gegen ernstzunehmende Gegner zu spielen, die sich taktisch klug verhalten, macht es dann richtig Spaß! Wie eine gepflegte Schachpartie zwischendurch. Meiner Meinung nach der beste Teil der Serie.
