Sniper Elite: Resistance MSRP $60.00 Score Details Pros

• Tight stealth action
• Satisfying ultraviolence
• Excellent level design

• Missions get repetitive

I wish I hated anything as much as Sniper Elite: Resistance’s creators, the folks over at Rebellion, hate Nazis. Talking about how much you detest fascism is one thing; dedicating your entire career to making the same exact ultraviolet execution simulator over and over again is a different beast entirely.

The rules are the same. This year’s visual upgrade is just a bit better. All the multiplayer modes you expect are accounted for. It’s a reliable continuation made by people who are positively gleeful about turning Nazi hunting into a time-honored blood sport.
