This is important, because the level I played in Sniper Elite 5 gave practically no assistance in the form of sound-masked shots. Bigger picture, I felt more aware of where Karl Fairburne was in his world. Details like Fairburne’s heart rate (critical for scope-shot sniping) and the noise he creates (running versus sneaking) are now centralized and consistently located in the UI, giving the player a more immediate and natural understanding of how their movement might draw attention. Sniper Elite 5, launching at the end of May, follows its predecessor by almost five years, and the gameplay systems I saw spoke of an effort to refine visual information to its most necessary components. Fairburne, grimacing manfully, is here to shut it down. Naturally, the Nazis have some spectacular doomsday idea cooking, and it’s called Operation Kraken. But he’s trapped behind enemy lines and regrouping with French resistance fighters. The Allies have broken the Nazis’ Atlantikwall at Normandy and elsewhere, with Karl among the invasion force. In Sniper Elite 5, the one-man surgical strike known as Karl Fairburne is inside France in 1944, pressing the Allied liberation onward from Italy ( Sniper Elite 4) and North Africa ( Sniper Elite 3). It took all 150 minutes I had with Sniper Elite 5 to blunder through the second chapter mission and complete only its core objectives - not even the optional kill that usually represents a level’s greatest tension and action. Such gut feeling, that You-will-go-to-the-Dagobah-system imperative, is absolutely necessary to enjoy a game that demands the player meet it on its terms, and play at its pace. I think about that premonition every time I have played the game, from 2014 to 2017’s Sniper Elite 4, and in a two-and-a-half-hour preview of Sniper Elite 5 that Rebellion organized two weeks ago. Where Richard Dreyfuss sculpted a mountain out of mashed potatoes, I would buy Sniper Elite 3. In the summer of 2014, my subconscious was rinsing out whatever I’d read on the internet that day, and I woke up with a compulsion I have never felt before.
