Sniper elite 5 is a very solid WW2 3rd person shooter. It features great level design with some gorgeous vistas, level 3 "Spy Academy" in particular was phenomenal in this regard. The pacing and direction closely follows the recent hitman games. The areas are large with many areas to explore, different paths and starting areas can be unlocked. Much like the hitman games the perfect path can likely be found to speedrun through games. Where this game lacks a little for me is the amount of enemies and the difficulty in maintaining stealth. The levels, especially the later ones, are jammed full of enemies and the stealth options in this game are farily limited compared to other similar titles like Hitman or MGS5. Over and over again I ended up in all out gunfights, luckily the shooting and combat in the game is very fun, if standard, 3rd person combat. A fun game that took me around 13 hours to beat all 9 story missions 1 time. Will look forward to the DLC, thank you GamePass.
