I’ve never really known much about Sniper Elite. I played a chunk of Sniper Elite V2 back in the day and mostly remember it as the game where you could shoot a Nazi in the groin and be treated to a gross X-ray clip of their nether regions exploding – oh, and there are zombies sometimes.
While I knew the game was about sniping, what I didn’t know was that Sniper Elite: Resistance has more in common with immersive stealth sims like Hitman: World of Assassination and Metal Gear Solid 5 than I had initially realized. Given that those are two of the best games of the last generation, you could say I was psyched to find this out when playing Resistance at a preview at Gamescom 2024.
