#SNIPER ELITE 4 PS4 PATCH#
Today, it seems the game got an even more significant upgrade, with Sniper Elite 4's latest patch introducing next-generation enhancements to the sniping experience. The game has gone on to become one of the Sniper Elite series' most popular entries, making its way to Nintendo Switch last year and becoming one of the first games to sport Xbox's FPS Boost feature back in February. 8/10.First launching in 2017, Sniper Elite 4 is the most recent take on the seminal sharpshooting IP, seeing players utilize the franchise's now-iconic X-ray kill cam to net some grisly assassinations while venturing across an Italian setting. Its story may not be all that memorable, but its gameplay sure is fun. In the end, the game is well-made and entertaining. The 'x-ray' gunshot system is probably what most people associate with the series and I'm happy to report that it looks as good as ever you'll squirm whenever you see a baddie's testicles explode, I assure you.

Graphically, the piece isn't massively impressive, but it gets the job done and renders all of its elements consistently. Ultimately, the game is never so cumbersome as to be frustrating. Also, prone movement feels decidedly restrictive - although, this may be intentional. Some of the other gunplay can feel a little clunky at times, though this is especially true when it comes to the inconsistent nature of silenced pistol headshots. It's tactile, tight and, in and of itself, rather enjoyable. This back and forth is interesting as it provides the game with a consistent risk/reward dynamic. The best bet is usually to take someone out, then move to another position before the enemy knows exactly where you are. Of course, you can mask the sound of your shot by timing it to coincide with nearby explosions or a faulty generator. Maintaining that stealth is difficult, though, as you don't start any level with suppressed rounds (even when you find some, supply is short). Everything feels as though it is within your control, with complete stealth being possible throughout. They have a good balance of close-quarter encounters, difficult-to-sneak-though segments and long-range skirmishes. Although they feel like they have a distinct lack of prime sniping positions this time, the eight missions are rather large and well-designed. The main objectives vary from simple assassinations to kidnap efforts and sabotage, keeping things feeling fresh throughout. The core loop involves you sneaking your way across a variety of environments, taking out guard patrols or blowing up sea guns as you go. Thankfully, the gameplay makes up for this. It's serviceable but nothing more, entirely forgettable once you've finished the game. The story itself is fairly bare-bones and generic, even if it features a few double crosses and a couple of surprises along the way. This entry sees you take on missile manufacturers in Italy, with each level presenting an 'open world' space filled with side objectives and collectables.

'Sniper Elite 4 (2017)' is the fourth instalment in Rebellion's 'Sniper Elite' series, in which you play as an Allied sniper tasked with various missions during the Second World War.
