Description

Observe. Plan. Execute. ADAPT.

The latest chapter in the award-winning series, SNIPER ELITE 3 takes players to the unforgiving yet exotic terrain of North Africa in a savage conflict against Germany’s infamous Afrika Korps.

Stalk your targets through the twisting canyons, lush oases and ancient cities of the Western Desert in the deadly rush to sabotage a Nazi super-weapons programme that could end Allied resistance for good.

Use stealth, planning and execution to hunt your targets – whether human or machine. From signature long distance kills, to melee takedowns, distractions and explosive traps, you are as deadly up close as you are from afar.

It must end here. You are the turning point. Because one bullet can change history...

Not for everyone. While the X-ray kills are cool, the rest of the game feels repetitive. The AI is inconsistent and the missions get boring after a few hours. There are better sniper games out there.

Having bought the game for the listed feature of cooperative-play, we could not invite each other to a cooperative lobby at all, kept saying it timed out. We tried verifying files, uninstalling & reinstalling clean,

I picked up this game thinking I could play co-op with a friend, just like we did with Sniper Elite V2 Remastered. I was wrong. As of the writing of this review, every single minute of play time I have on this game was

Sniper Elite 3 is fun mostly when you’re sniping from a distance. Pulling off long shots and watching the slow-motion kills is easily the best part of the game. Maps are okay — sometimes you get a lot of freedom,

Sniper Elite III is basically a “hold your breath while deciding an NPC’s fate from 300 meters away” simulator. The North Africa setting is great: open maps, lots of routes, and plenty of ways to approach each mission.
