Sniper Elite 5 review — The Desert Ghost goes to France

World War II was, and still is, a popular setting for games. Most of the time you’re with a squad of soldiers à lIa Band of Brothers. Other times you are a Nazi-killing machine, bent on the destruction of the Third Reich. The Sniper Elite series leans way more towards the latter.

In Sniper Elite 5, you play as Karl Fairburne, sniper extraordinaire. When the game begins, you are off the coast of France assisting the U.S. Rangers. Your mission is to help weaken the Atlantic Wall in preparation of D-Day.
