Sniper Elite 5 is back to its very best. After its brilliant and brutal base game campaign, its DLC offerings to date have been a mixed bag. Its Rough Landing DLC map is a stunning throwback but lacks bang for its buck; while its French island outing is a neat switch up of the formula that's let down by middling weapons.
Operation Kraken, however – the latest mission that's part of the game's Kraken Awakes content pack – captures everything that makes Sniper Elite enjoyable. It marks the end of the Sniper Elite 5 Season Pass Two, and is a victory lap that not only celebrates the strides this mainline entry has made over its forerunners, but the momentum the esteemed series has sustained since 2005.
