From the Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sniper_Elite_5):
Sniper Elite 5 is a third-person tactical shooter stealth video game developed and published by Rebellion Developments. It is the sequel to Sniper Elite 4 and was released in May 2022 for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S. It was also included with the Xbox Game Pass subscription upon release.[1][2][3]
Similar to its predecessors, Sniper Elite 5 is a third-person shooter. Similar to Sniper Elite 4, the game features several large levels, which provide players with various opportunities to infiltrate and extract. When the player kills an enemy using a sniper rifle from a long distance, the X-Ray kill cam system will activate, in which the game's camera follows the bullet from the sniper rifle to the target, and shows body parts, bones or internal body organs being broken or ruptured by the bullet. Weapons in the game can be customized extensively.[4] The single-player campaign can be played cooperatively with another player. The game introduces Invasion mode, which allows a third player to join a game session and play as an enemy sniper.[5] A survival mode, which accommodates up to four players, is also featured.[6]
In Sniper Elite 5, the player once again assumes control of Karl Fairburne, an elite sniper from the Allied Powers who journeys to France in 1944 to destroy a secret Nazi project known as "Project Kraken".[7]
In March 2019, series developer Rebellion Developments confirmed that they had started the development of Sniper Elite 5.[8] The game was officially announced during The Game Awards 2021.[6] According to Rebellion, the team used photogrammetry when they were creating the game's levels. Some locations in the game were inspired by Guernsey. The game was released for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S on 26 May 2022. Players who pre-ordered the game will gain access to an extra mission named "Target Fuhrer: Wolf Mountain" in which the player must infiltrate Hitler's private retreat in the Alps to eliminate him and his guards.[9]
Sniper Elite 5 received "generally favorable" reviews, according to review aggregator Metacritic.[10][11][12] The retail version of the game debuted at No. 1 on the UK software sales chart in its week of release.[22]
EGM called Sniper Elite 5 "the best game in the series so far", citing its intricate level design, deep weapon customization system, and satisfying gameplay as its strengths, while taking minor issue with its underdeveloped characters and story.[13] Eurogamer felt that the title was "a true great of the genre" and "one of the most entertaining games of the year" due to its flexible sandboxes and imaginative interactive representation of World War II.[14] GameSpot claimed that the game's strengths rested in the core sniping experience, encouragement of player agency, tense multiplayer invasions, and the robust weapon customization model.[15] GamesRadar+ stated that the game was "the most well-rounded Sniper Elite game" and noted that while the series' core strengths and weaknesses remained present, the Axis Invasion mode elevated it above prior entries in the franchise.[16] Hardcore Gamer wrote that the game's variety, between its variance in visual design, "some of the series' best" level design, and Axis Invasion mode, which was lauded as "the best thing about [Sniper Elite 5]" were what made it better than its predecessors.[17] Shacknews similarly lauded the title, awarding it a 9 out of 10 while also praising the detail of the X-ray kills, but criticized the performance on PC and dated facial animations.[20] IGN, by contrast, felt that the title felt like "more of an incremental upgrade rather than a major revolution", and voiced disappointment in the recycling of objectives which caused the game's campaign to feel repetitive as a result.[19]
