Many players feel Sniper Elite: Resistance is essentially a DLC for Sniper Elite 5, offering little new. [1][2][3] Those who enjoyed Sniper Elite 5 find the core gameplay still fun, with great level design. [4][5][6] Some players recommend buying it only on sale due to its high price and lack of innovation. [7][8][9]

Let's be 100% clear, this is a DLC marketed as a new game. Nothing is new. Same engine, same gameplay, same enemy, same everything. In the storyline, even the same map comes round twice. Its a very low effort money grab. Entertaining? Sure, but dont expect anything new compared to SE 5. Get it on a good discount, for DLC prices, and you will be ok. Other than that, no i cant recommend it out of principle, and that …

It's not worth $50 without the DLCs included. Pretty mediocre effort all in all. The maps are small, and choices limited, the propaganda mode is timed and terrible with ZERO customization available. While I love the franchise this one let me down. At least throw in the DLCs to lessen the pain. No way am I buying seasons at this point.

Honestly, I have a pretty hard time reviewing this game because it barely feels like its own thing. It is basically Sniper Elite 5 copy-pasted with new maps, cutscenes, characters, and weapons. So if you played Sniper Elite 5 and just want more, this is perfect. But if you are looking for something new or different, you are at the wrong place. And if you have never played a Sniper Elite game before, either this or …

I'm surprised to see negative reviews for this game. Rebellion releasing another Sniper Elite game is no different to Playground Games releasing another Forza Horizon. They've found a formula that works, they know how to design interesting, challenging maps, and they happily give us lots of opportunities to shoot nazis in their privates. I'm not sure what gamers were expecting, but I was hoping for more of the same, …

If you loved Sniper Elite 5 and just want another campaign with more of the same, then Sniper Elite: Resistance will scratch that itch. The problem is that it barely does anything beyond that. This is essentially Sniper Elite 5 again. The gameplay is identical, the mission structure is identical, and even the overall length feels exactly the same. That's not necessarily a bad thing because the core stealth sandbox …

Been on a fun little kick playing the Sniper Elite series and the Wolfenstein series and want some suggestions for what can replace it once I run out of campaign missions to do in those games. While I would love to replay the campaign missions of COD, I ain't paying like $30-60 for a two decade plus old game from EA. While I do prefer shooting nazi nazis, I don't mind suggestions that have you shooting fascists in general.…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It all feels too familiar. Reused maps from SE5, no real visual or gameplay improvements, charging us for the Karabiner 98 and 1911... It all just leaves a bad taste in one's mouth. This should have been a DLC for Sniper Elite 5 and nothing more.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game should have been a DLC for the previous Sniper Elite. It's fine. The story is meh, the levels are meh, the new main character is meh, the final mission is a joke of a mission. If you love the Sniper Elite games and you can get this for cheap, it's fine. I regret preordering and paying full price for this.

neutral · AI labelView post →I got #SniperEliteResistance because I'm a huge fan of the series and shooting nazis is always a good thing, but what a bummer this game is. It's really just a SE5 DLC, and the removal of Karl Fairburne makes NO sense. Who is this dude Harry? I mean, I'll play it and kill nazis but I'm disappointed.
negative · AI labelView post →So this is a odd review. The game itself is perfect. More Sniper Elite gameplay. Nice amount of weapons, maps and modes. So why the bad rating? My game crashed every few minutes and I find out why. Denvuo. Once I reinstalled the game without it installed, the crashing went away. I contacted Rebellion and they tried blaming my M.2 drive it was installed on. I mean, I do get maybe thats an issue, even if I don't understand how. But the fact anti-cheat software crashes a game at all is a big issue…

positive · AI labelView post →I love sniper elite resistence, as new gamer I picked it up quite easy. However, I started on 5 and feel a little ripped off with the survival maps from 5 being reused on a game I paid new game dollar for and the fact that nearly a year after the games release there are still bugs in the maps.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Played all Sniper Elite titles, and this is the worst one. There’s nothing new, the graphics feel the same, and I spent more time hunting for documents than actually having fun. The difficulty is boring, the enemies are boring, there are no real threats, it’s way too short, and the 9th mission takes about 15 seconds to finish. It feels like this franchise is about to die. Thank God I only bought these games with huge discounts.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Really DLC for Sniper Elite 5. No real game changes. Don't pay full price for it That said, always fun to kill Nazis.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Honestly more of an expansion to Sniper Elite 5 than a true new entry, which would be fine if it was cheaper, the levels are smaller and less interesting on average than SE5 and the new protagonist some how managed to be even less interesting than the old one... unless you can't get enough of the SE5 invasion mode buy on deep discount other wise just buy SE5 if you haven't already

neutral · AI labelView post →What water headed idiot would pay 80 bucks for what is exactly an expansion for the last game? Nothing new or innovative. They want you to buy stuff that was in previous titles for free. Boring story, boring gameplay, LAME characters, poor optimization, reskins, reused assets, feels and looks cheap. I got this for 17 bucks and i still feel cheated. REFUND.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Don't waste your money! To be fair....IF you are going to play this SOLO, then it looks like it would be fun to play, like the other Sniper Elite games. HOWEVER...if you plan on playing this in co-op with a friend..forget it. The anti-cheat, or should I say, anti-playable Denovu crap, makes the game unplayable. It queues up the movement keys so bad, that when you release the key, the character continues to move for anywhere from 7-10 seconds longer. So off a cliff, into the enemy lines,…

neutral · AI labelView post →It's an OK game, but essentially it's just more of the same and the story is even worse than in the Sniper Elite 5. This series has a good gameplay foundation, but they NEED to evolve in terms of story/mission quality and variety and, even more, in setting diversification. I will not buy another WW2 Sniper Elite game, but i would gladly buy one with a setting in Vietnam war, Korea war, Winter War or any other fresh setting and good story.

neutral · AI labelView post →This game definitely deserves a 'meh' rating, but I'm leaning more towards not recommending it for a few reasons... it's just a straight up copy of SE5 with no fixes to the bugs that plagued it, map design is heavily linear and limits your options, and it overall just doesn't feel that fun to play. Would not recommend, even on sale
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I have played my fair share of sniper elite, to be exact I have played all of them. This game feels like an 8 year old took SE5 engine and assets and made this game in a week. Gameplay-wise this game is exactly the same as SE5 with new levels. This should have been DLC for SE5, not a stand alone game. Plus Rebellion didn’t even work on this game, Wushu studios did. This game has the more bugs than SE1. Not recommended! Personally this game was a waste of money and time.

If you want to go hunting down an enemy enemy players in sniper elite its pretty fun and tbh well balanced, the sniper being invaded has a lot of intel benefits. if you want a single player sniper elite game, its just the same thing again but you get invaded a lot if you wish to turn it on.
