What it is
Sniper Elite 4 is a third-person tactical shooter and stealth game from Rebellion Developments. Set in wartime Italy, it follows covert agent and marksman Karl Fairburne as he joins the Italian Resistance against a threat to the Allied campaign. The campaign moves through coastal towns, forests, valleys and large Nazi structures, with broad levels where players can choose routes to objectives, locate sniper nests and pursue side missions and collectibles. Shooting accounts for wind, gravity and heart rate, so long-range shots involve more than aiming alone. Steam lists single-player, multiplayer and co-op, along with achievements, full controller support, cloud saves, leaderboards, Remote Play on TV and Family Sharing. The game is listed for Windows and macOS, while its Steam platform listing names Windows. Its listed Metacritic score is 78.
