Sniper Elite III focuses heavily on long-range combat, stealth, and tactical positioning. The signature X-ray kill cam returns with improved detail, rewarding precise shots with slow-motion anatomical destruction. Core mechanics revolve around managing breathing, distance, wind, and bullet dropgiving sniping real weight and satisfaction.
Players can tackle missions their own way: stealth, traps, suppressed shots, or full firefights if things go wrong. The stealth system is basic but effective, with sound masking, relocation mechanics, and environmental awareness playing key roles. Gunplay outside of sniping is less polished, but competent enough for close encounters.
Enemy AI can be inconsistentsometimes sharp, sometimes obliviousbut it rarely breaks the overall flow.
Set in North Africa during World War II, the campaign follows Karl Fairburne as he battles Axis forces and uncovers a deadly superweapon threat. The story is typical for a Sniper Elite gamefunctional, straightforward, and mostly a backdrop for the mission scenarios.
Missions are sizeable and semi-open, offering alternative paths, vantage points, hidden collectibles, and optional objectives. Replayability is encouraged through experimentation and different playstyles.
Single-player campaign with eight large missions
Co-op campaign allowing two-player progression
Horde-style survival mode
Competitive multiplayer, including classic modes like Deathmatch and Distance King
Co-op is a standout feature, making the experience more enjoyable and tactical. Multiplayer is niche but offers unique long-range engagements.
On PS4, Sniper Elite III runs smoothly and offers clean, bright visuals, especially across the desert landscapes. Lighting and draw distances are solid, and environments have more variety than expectedvillages, canyons, airfields, and fortresses.
Character models and animations are average, but the sniping effects and X-ray visuals remain the star attraction.
Sound design supports the stealth gameplay well. Rifles crack with impact, suppressed shots are crisp, and explosions have weight. Environmental audiowind, engines, patrol chatteradds atmosphere. The orchestral score is competent but rarely memorable.
Voice acting is serviceable, though Karls stoic delivery remains intentionally understated.
Sniper Elite III improves on earlier entries with larger maps, refined sniping mechanics, and strong replay value. Its still a niche tactical shooter, but it excels at what it sets out to do: deliver satisfying, strategic sniping within flexible mission playgrounds.
