Sniper Elite 4 review

Sniper Elite 4 is the campaign pick for PS4 owners who prefer patience and precision to chaos. The PlayStation Store page describes tactical third-person combat and long shots across large levels as covert agent Karl Fairburne works with the Italian Resistance, from Mediterranean coastal towns to forests, mountain valleys and Nazi megastructures. It lists a campaign for 1 to 2 players, dedicated co-op for 2 to 4 players and competitive multiplayer for up to 12. The list price on the US store is $59.99, the Deluxe Edition $89.99, and the game is in the PS Plus Extra catalog. The list price is steep for a 2017 release, so PS Plus Extra is the better route for most players. It is played in third person, which sets it apart from the first-person shooters on this list.
