its a classic, and offers a no hands held experience if you prefer it difficult.

I don't know how to put it, but this game, despite its age, remains the most atmospheric of this series of games: all these explosions, shots, screams, even the noise of the surroundings makes it clear that this is not some kind of shooter, like Call Of Duty - this is a simulator of an ordinary soldier, where you can rely only on yourself. Unlike other parts, this one conveys the experience of a sniper best of all. No enemy marks. You yourself must determine the distance to the target and make an accurate shot. No minimap. You don't even know what awaits you behind the nearest break. Complete realism. Absolute Cinema.

Oct. 2024

This is by far the best Sniper Elite game there has been. The first game is gritty, cold, violent, and realistic. No fancy action heroics the later games create. At times, it almost feels like a survival game, and this is why it nails the lone operative in Berlin of 1945 scenario perfectly. I wish the series would divert back towards that approach instead. Obviously, it's from 2005, the graphics are dated, and there are some bugs with enemy patrols, but still LOADS of fun. Highly recommended.

Oct. 2024

The first Sniper Elite game I ever played was Sniper Elite V2, so I didn't have high expectations delving into the original. However, the game surprised me. This game holds up unbelievably well in most aspects including graphics, sound and map design, and of course, gunplay. The high quality textures astonished me and I honestly can't believe this game is from 2005. It's immediately noticeable that this game will absolutely not hold your hand. It's much more hardcore compared to its sequels and it sort of reminds me of the early Hitman games. The missions are fun and diverse and have you doing different things every time, so it doesn't feel repetitive by the end. The movement is a bit off, the enemy AI a bit too crazy and notices you too easily and you need to mess with config files and patches to get it to run right, but considering the game's age, one shouldn't be too surprised. I recommend this classic.

July 2024

Though its dated, Sniper Elite holds up as one of the few to bring a touch of patience back. The game expertly blends stealth, tactical gameplay and marksman shooting to make an all-around engrossing experience that even holds up today. Players are drawn into authentic World War II combat scenarios that utilize realistic ballistics and historic environments, enabling squads to affect the battlefield. 100% took me about 25 hrs
