SpeedyGamer99 Today, we’re talking about Sniper Elite 5. As someone who loves speedrunning, I think Rebellion, the developer and publisher, nailed the pacing. While some feel the campaign could be longer, I found it just right.

PlayerProX I agree. Rebellion has created an exciting sniping game. The detailed environments, realistic gunplay, and character customization are all great. Some compare it to Hitman, but I think this game stands out on its own.

NewGamer One thing I really enjoy about Sniper Elite 5 is the immersive world. The campaign, set in real-world locations, feels fresh and fun to explore. Even though some parts repeat a bit, the overall design is impressive.

CompletionistMaster I’m thrilled to hear about the customization and variety in targets add even more fun. Finding the best sniper spot and getting the perfect shot is so satisfying. It’s a big reason why the game has great replay value.

SpeedyGamer99 The mechanics also bring a real challenge. Adjusting for things like gravity and wind while trying to finish quickly adds a fun layer of difficulty.

PlayerProX What makes Sniper Elite 5 special is how these mechanics come together. The PvP Invasion Mode and co-op options are great additions that show Rebellion’s creativity.

NewGamer The story is another strong point. Set in 1944 France, it follows Karl Fairburne as he teams up with the French Resistance. It’s a classic plot, but it’s told in an engaging way.

CompletionistMaster Agreed. For those who love lore, there’s a lot to find. Collecting hidden bits of the story, especially in side quests, is rewarding. And of course, the X-ray kill cam is still a cool feature.

SpeedyGamer99 The graphics are amazing too. Rebellion used photogrammetry to make real-world locations look stunning. For speedrunners, the well-designed levels are a big bonus.

PlayerProX The sound design is just as good. The background sounds, effects, and music all work together to make the gameplay even better.

NewGamer I also like how Karl Fairburne’s character develops throughout the game. It adds a nice touch to the story and keeps you interested.

CompletionistMaster Yes, and this game has a balanced challenge level. Plus, there are difficulties to choose from, making it a good fit for seasoned gamers and beginners alike.

SpeedyGamer99 For those who enjoy Sniper Elite 5, here’s a few recommendations: Metal Gear Solid 5 for its stealth gameplay and impeccable storytelling; Hitman 3 for the various assassination methods and its immersive world; and Far Cry 6 for its open-world and similar gunplay mechanics.

PlayerProX Don’t forget about Ghost Recon: Wildlands too. It’s similar in both gameplay and style.

NewGamer And I must mention Battlefield 1, given its WW1 setting, expansive campaign, and compelling story.

CompletionistMaster I would suggest trying out Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts for those who have a penchant for detailed sniping mechanics and enjoy mission-based gameplay.

SpeedyGamer99 I congratulate Rebellion for their authentic work. Sniper Elite 5 is a masterpiece not just for speedrunners like me, but for all types of gamers.

PlayerProX Ditto, with its mix of strategic gameplay, stealth mechanics, and multiplayer options, Sniper Elite 5 has given us much to discuss and enjoy.
