Sniper Elite is honestly my favourite franchise I've gotten into this year, being not particularly into the whole shooting genre of games, this game does a great job like its predecessors for having satisfying kills and gameplay even if you're not good at shooters, because one of the biggest parts of the game is stealth, and this game even goes the extra mile by adding non-lethal options to getting about the missions. In my opinion I prefer the story in this one over SE4, but partly because this game was a lot more cinematic than the previous. The graphics are fantastic, and my favourite part is probably being able to customise your guns and ♥♥♥♥, I must have spent a solid 20% of my total playtime in the testing range and analysing gun stats at a workbench XD my ass should not be allowed to cook at a game with any form of customisation.
I probably prefer the actual gameplay of SE4 more, but in this game, one of the big highlights is probably Axis Invasion, as it definitely freshens up the whole experience a lot (everyone has got to try it at least once, I promise it's fun).

The only real huge problem of this game is the cost for how much content you actually get, realistically, if you play through the whole campaign only and don't really spend time into customisation or exploring any of the extra objectives/collectables, you could probably beat all the campaign in 8 hours, and that's not even getting to the weapons, there's a huge lack of guns in comparison to SE4, and not even a shotgun in the base game!!! Trench gun comes in a free DLC luckily, but man if only the rest of the DLC didn't cost as much as the game itself. It really is a shame. But I do love this game so I'd definitely recommend it, and you should definitely get it when it's on sale. It's not exaaactly worth the full price when you compare it to the amount of content in the previous games.
