At the beginning of each mission, with the exception of the last, you start off in a safe zone where you can speak to a member of the OSS, Partisans, and/or Mafia depending on how far along you are. I say “in theory” because, as with previous Sniper Elite games, you’re flying solo as Fairburne. Without getting into much into the story - we like to stay relatively spoiler free here at Techaeris - while playing as Fairburne, you are assisted “in theory” by the OSS, Italian Partisans, and the Sicilian Mafia in your quest to hunt down the weapon and kill the man behind it - General Heinz Böhm.

The game starts off on the fictional San Celini island, and heads through a number of other fictional Italian locations across a series of eight missions in total. While the previous game took place in North Africa, Sniper Elite 4 sees OSS sniper Karl Fairburne headed to beautiful Italy in 1943 to track down rumours of a deadly new Nazi weapon. If you’ve played previous games in the series, Sniper Elite 4 picks up in the aftermath of Sniper Elite III (which, if you haven’t played, was a prequel to Sniper Elite v2). NOTE: given the game’s maturity level and rating, parts of this review is also going to be less PG that usual. Our Sniper Elite 4 review plays through the game as our hero Karl Fairburne heads to Italy for some jaw shattering, organ exploding, ball busting Nazi killing. Here we are a few years later, a few Sniper Elite and Nazi Zombie Army games later, and Rebellion’s latest is out. I’m sure his Swedish accent commentary had something to do with it, but the X-Ray Kill Cam also had me intrigued and I had to try it out for myself. It’s been a few years since I was first introduced to the Sniper Elite series after watching, what I thought was, a hilarious video on YouTube by Robbaz.
