While the action may have been enjoyable a decade ago, it\u2019s certainly become more formulaic nowadays, made worse by a threadbare narrative, an unengaging romp across the fields of France, and the fact that it\u2019s nearly devoid of new features.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div>\n<div><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Sniper Elite: Resistance - Features Trailer\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/YfhRzW2lUfA?rel=0\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" allowfullscreen allow=\"accelerometer; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share;\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">The most noticeable difference in <em>Sniper Elite: Resistance<\/em> is that you control a new operative: Harry Hawker. As far as rehashing ideas goes, the studio just replaced the protagonist from the previous games, Karl Fairburne, with someone who used to be an alternate skin in multiplayer matches, a bushy-bearded fella with a Jason Statham-esque Cockney accent. The writing itself has also hit a new low \u2014 and that\u2019s saying something for a franchise that\u2019s not known for its stellar narrative \u2014 especially with Hawker\u2019s quips about how tall grass \u201cprovides great cover,\u201d and that it\u2019s \u201citchy but stealthy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Story-wise, Hawker\u2019s arc runs parallel with the events of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/reviews\/23140180\/sniper-elite-5-review-release-date-platforms\"><em>Sniper Elite 5<\/em><\/a>, which I appreciated if only for a time. There were portions where I saw glimpses of plot points from the previous title, including the Operation Kraken plan to invade the Eastern Seaboard of the United States with countless U-boats, as well as various references to V1 and V2 rocket systems. During these moments, I truly felt like Hawker was part of a larger conflict and that the game didn\u2019t necessarily exist within a bubble.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Unfortunately, Rebellion tried to scrape the oil from the same pan one too many times, causing a flabbergastingly repetitive presentation. For instance, both the first and fourth missions take place on the same map, with the latter having a larger explorable area. The seventh mission, meanwhile, caused me to do a double-take, as it eerily reminded me of the layout of <em>Sniper Elite 5<\/em>\u2019s \u201cOccupied Residence\u201d chateau mission.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/sniper-elite-resistance-offers-a-forgettable-and-formulaic-fight-against-the-fascists-1.jpg\" alt=\"The image shows the player standing in a field. A large chateau can be seen in the distance.\" title=\"The image shows the player standing in a field. A large chateau can be seen in the distance.\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"Image: Rebellion via Polygon\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Perhaps the most egregious issue is that, for a game that has \u201cResistance\u201d in the title, I rarely got the chance to interact with the French Resistance. I merely received short mission briefings telling me that a high-ranking Nazi officer had developed <em>yet another Allied-Forces-Annihilating Wunderwaffe\u2122<\/em> that could potentially win the war for Germany, and that Hawker had to aid underground fighters in preparation for the D-Day landings. Sadly, the cutscenes involving Resistance members were woefully few and far between. (For reference, <em>Medal of Honor: Underground<\/em>, a game that was released in 2000 and was even ported by Rebellion to the Game Boy Advance, had you playing as a French freedom fighter named Manon.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Instead, French Resistance members are playable in time trial challenges, which you unlock whenever you find propaganda posters scattered in various levels. These activities require you eliminate all opponents within a given time limit, though you can add precious seconds via stealth kills and earn points through a score multiplier system. Given that Propaganda Challenges offer run-of-the-mill tasks that last around three minutes or so, and because there are only a select few of them, Resistance fighters don\u2019t really have a lot of time to shine.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">It goes without saying that Propaganda Challenges are the only notable new activity in the game, so if you\u2019ve already experienced everything that <em>Sniper Elite 5<\/em> had to offer, then there\u2019s hardly anything in <em>Resistance<\/em> that would entice you. Likewise, since we\u2019re talking about the lack of new features, I\u2019d be remiss if I didn\u2019t mention that even <em>Resistance<\/em>\u2019s skill tree is the same as its predecessor\u2019s, right down to having identical perks!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/sniper-elite-resistance-offers-a-forgettable-and-formulaic-fight-against-the-fascists-2.jpg\" alt=\"The image shows a French Resistance fighter stabbing a Nazi soldier.\" title=\"The image shows a French Resistance fighter stabbing a Nazi soldier.\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"Image: Rebellion via Polygon\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">So what can you expect if you still plan on grabbing <em>Sniper Elite: Resistance<\/em>? Truthfully, the series hasn\u2019t changed much since the third game. This game still has large, sprawling levels, though the ones here are set in the French countryside. The nine campaign missions \u2014 or more like seven, since the first and last missions are significantly shorter than the rest \u2014 are set in ruined townships with gargantuan fortresses, busy harbors situated next to railyards, factories making machines for the Axis war effort, and the aforementioned \u201cIs this the same chateau level?\u201d segment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">As usual, you can decide on how you\u2019d approach mission objectives. You could go gung-ho, taking out every Wehrmacht and Gestapo lackey as you see fit with submachine guns and pistols, or you could stealthily avoid combat by finding well-hidden passageways. Are there numerous soldiers guarding a manor? Perhaps you can climb vines to enter a room on the second floor. Are there dozens of hostiles patrolling the fields? You could go through a tunnel, find a distant tower, and pick them off one by one with your trusty sniper rifle. There were a few exhilarating moments whenever I found myself surrounded by enemies, and I had to rethink my strategy while looking for safer hiding spots and clearer vantage points.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Furthermore, the X-Ray Kill Cam, a series staple, is back, but there are no noticeable changes to it as far as I can tell. At best, you still bear witness to amazingly gory slow-motion sequences, such as a single bullet flying through the air to strike the innards of a target, or portions where you shoot an explosive barrel and watch as a soldier\u2019s bones break apart with a sickening crunch. Yes, killing Nazis \u2014 and shooting them in the balls \u2014 never gets old, regardless of the time period. However, after seeing the same Kill Cam sequences over the years, the overall flow of combat gets dull and tiresome rather quickly.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/sniper-elite-resistance-offers-a-forgettable-and-formulaic-fight-against-the-fascists-3.jpg\" alt=\"The image is of the X-Ray Kill Cam, which shows the innards of an enemy being pierced by a bullet.\" title=\"The image is of the X-Ray Kill Cam, which shows the innards of an enemy being pierced by a bullet.\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"Image: Rebellion via Polygon\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">The moment-to-moment gameplay in <em>Sniper Elite: Resistance<\/em> hasn\u2019t just gone stale; it also suffers from a few glaring issues. Chief among these relates to AI behavior, which is par for the course considering previous titles in the franchise. There were several instances in <em>Resistance<\/em> where AI soldiers would hear a noise and remain in a high-alert state for the entirety of the mission, running around or hiding while panicked.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">There were also segments wherein nearly half a dozen enemies, including those that were farther away, would come running at the sound of a blown generator or a damaged engine. Funnily enough, instead of using the noise to mask the sound of my rifle shots, it became a way for me to funnel in several hostiles so I could easily punch them in the neck.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Additionally, I\u2019ve experienced a couple of bugs related to Kill List challenges. These are side objectives where you eliminate high-value targets by using specific scripted methods, such as planting a rat bomb or poisoning their drink. One example was how I had virtually no way of interacting with an object that was required to trigger the death sequence.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Likewise, I\u2019ve seen quite a few issues with drab and slow-loading textures and poor lighting in several areas. At first, I was a bit surprised, given that my PC has an Nvidia RTX 3080 GPU, Intel i9-10900K CPU, and 32 GB of RAM. Thankfully, I\u2019ve been told that these issues would be fixed in time for the game\u2019s launch.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/sniper-elite-resistance-offers-a-forgettable-and-formulaic-fight-against-the-fascists-4.jpg\" alt=\"The image shows the player watching as several soldiers get distracted by a single damaged generator.\" title=\"The image shows the player watching as several soldiers get distracted by a single damaged generator.\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"Image: Rebellion via Polygon\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">In the end, the biggest problem with <em>Sniper Elite: Resistance<\/em> is that it retreads the same familiar beats and concepts without making significant changes \u2014 not fixing something that isn\u2019t necessarily broken, but a constant reheating of what is already stale \u2014 causing it to be eclipsed by its counterparts and contemporaries.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Most of the aforementioned Kill List objectives, at least the ones that aren\u2019t bugged, are as straightforward as they come. Now, compare this to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/reviews\/22237877\/hitman-3-review-io-interactive\"><em>Hitman 3<\/em><\/a>, where you\u2019d have to think carefully and creatively when attempting to assassinate targets, and it\u2019s pretty much night and day. Similarly, if you\u2019re just looking for a game where you can fight and take out Nazis, there\u2019s the superb <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/review\/491856\/indiana-jones-and-the-great-circle-review-pc-xbox\"><em>Indiana Jones and the Great Circle<\/em><\/a>, which has meaningful side content and an infinitely more memorable villain in Emmerich Voss, played marvelously by Marios Gavrilis. Lastly, if it weren\u2019t for the stellar X-Ray Kill Cam, CI Games\u2019 <em>Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts<\/em> would\u2019ve given this franchise a run for its money.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">All in all, even after over 20 hours of play as I completed the campaign and obtained all sorts of collectibles, <em>Sniper Elite: Resistance<\/em> just wasn\u2019t the exciting romp that I hoped it would be. As someone who\u2019s played all the mainline entries in the series, <em>Resistance<\/em> is a forgettable offering that you can skip. It\u2019s proof that the team at Rebellion needs to come up with something refreshing for its flagship franchise\u2019s future, as opposed to overcooking it in the proverbial air fryer and serving it <em>\u00e0 la carte<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\"><strong>Reviewer\u2019s note:<\/strong> As of the time of this review, I was unable to try <em>Sniper Elite: Resistance<\/em>\u2019s multiplayer component (i.e., its co-op campaign, invasions, and multiplayer matches). I\u2019ve been told that the game has cross-play functionality. However, when I tried playing with an editor friend (I was on PC and they were on an Xbox Series X), they kept getting incompatibility errors.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Sniper Elite: Resistance<em> will be released on Jan. 30 on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
