There’s almost always more than one way to go about it, too, and the map teases you by positing that there is, in fact, more than one way to skin a cat.

You’re dropped into a large – though not quite open – map and given a general objective. Sniper Elite 5 has a fairly straightforward setup, but the way it’s executed this time is what makes the difference. I expected a good stealth game (and a satisfying sniping sim-cade) but I wasn’t ready for how ambitious, and often brilliant, Sniper Elite 5’s mix of stealth and action is.
