I love killing stuff.

It’s good for the soul, I reckon.

), which is why I’ll shortly be petitioning the NHS to haveSniper Elite: Resistanceavailable on prescription.

Like an apple a day.

But, you know, violent.

For all the shooters I play - and I play alot- I’m not much of a lone wolf.

Your character, Harry, crouches behind a stone wall in the foreground in Sniper Elite Resistance. In the background, under a cloudy summer sky, sits a citadel or fort with turrets and high stone walls. A nazi banner with a swastika hangs over the entrance.

Sure, I’ll jump in for a couple of matches on my tod, maybe.

Spend a little time in a PvE playlist for an hour or two, perhaps.

Ultimately, though, for me, hunting is a group sport.

Harry sits atop a balcony and looks out across the dark night sky in Sniper Elite Resistance. A bridge connects where you to your objective, but there are dozens of enemies - marked by binoculars - between you and it.

The exception to this is Ubisoft’s well-worn open-world PvE blueprint.

You know the one.

All without setting foot in the place!

A view down Harry’s binoculars in Sniper Elite Resistance, which can be used to scout ahead, tag your enemies, and get further information on them. Somehow, Harry’s binocs tell him this shoulder has a heart rate of 59bps and is a Jäger Officer. He is 271m away.

Honestly, few things in this world make me happier.

Unsurprisingly, then, I am having aballwith Sniper Elite Resistance.

Can things go off-script?

Harry crouches in the undergrowth on a sunny day in Sniper Elite Resistance. In the distance is a French chateau and a dam. In the top corner, Harry has secured a medal for “Berthier Master” whilst the bottom-right explains there has just been a headshot at 139m. The bottom left shows the gunshot was heard.

If you remember him from prior Sniper Elite games, all I can say is I’m sorry.

I can only hope he wasn’t as stupefyingly chatty then as he is now.

The summer of 1944, to be exact.

Hawker’s been drafted into… actually, I don’t know.

Oh, and he murders Nazis, of course; there’s lots and lots of lovely Nazi murdering.

How you do it is up to you, too.

Your character, Harry, has just completed his objective as he crouches in a ramshackle civilian home in Sniper Elite Resistance. “Objective Complete” is at the top of the screen as Harry says: “Huh. A book on the Cathar ways… tunnels under St Raymond! So, Vertigo knew they existed beneath the city."

And the missions aregreat.

From huge, hulking Nazi superstructures to quaint French chateaus, you explore them all.

By the time I’d circled around on foot, almost everyone else was already dead.

Your character, Harry, crouches in front of a poster with “La Resistance” emblazoned across it in Sniper Elite Resistance. A pop up explains that if you collect the poster in every mission, you’ll unlock Propaganda mode.

Admittedly, it took a little while for me to find that rhythm, though.

And why does Hawker spontaneously drop his special weapon when he does a melee kill?

And don’t get me started on the mantling.

You’re a soldier.

Of course, Sniper Elite: Resistance has the typical multiplayer offering, too.

Nevertheless,Sniper Elite 5’s Axis Invasion mode returns.
