Sniper Elite 4 is all about choice. By that I mean, ‘Do you want to shoot a guy in the head, or do you want to shoot a guy in the eyeball?’
Yes, I’m being a bit facetious, but make no mistake: even though Sniper Elite 4’s wide-open campaign levels are tactical, fun, and primed for experimentation, this game is all about pulling the trigger and the thrill of what comes after. An eye shot is different from a headshot, as confirmed by a zoomed-in, x-ray, slow-motion camera. You can score intestine shots or testicle shots too, if you’d like. I don’t remember getting a heart shot or a kidney shot, but maybe that’s because I have bad aim.
The opening campaign level takes place on San Celini, an island off the coast of Italy. Intel confirms Nazis there have crafted a “wonder weapon,” which doesn’t sound as bad as a “weapon of mass destruction” but almost certainly is. After they destroy your reconnaissance ship, you’re sent in to assassinate a high-ranking German officer and learn more about their weaponry, with optional objectives to kill other Nazi top brass and destroy some cameras. After a brief cutscene, you’re dropped into a place where you can be untouchable one second and plate-ready prey the next.
