Set in 1943, Sniper Elite 4 follows covert agent and marksman Karl Fairburne as he works with the Italian Resistance against German forces. Its campaign unfolds across large, separate missions in varied Italian locations.
Each mission gives you primary and optional objectives, targets to hunt, and room to choose your route and tactics. Scout enemy positions, use cover and climbing routes, then snipe from a distance, sneak in for close takedowns, lay traps, or fight openly.
Rifle shots account for factors such as wind, gravity, and heart rate, while weapons and explosives offer different ways to handle threats. Skills and weapon traits can be upgraded, and missions include side tasks and collectibles. The campaign can be played in online co-op, alongside separate co-op modes and competitive multiplayer.
Players often enjoy the freedom to explore large mission maps and choose their own approach, along with the satisfaction of lining up long-range shots and seeing the X-ray kill cams. Several also praise the stealth and trap options, replaying missions with different tactics, and playing the campaign with a friend. Some reviewers find the story forgettable, and opinions on enemy AI and combat balance vary.
