The game is fine, but that's not what this review is about
The game is fine, but that's not what this review is about. The new 'invasion' mechanic is implemented horribly. I don't know who worked on it, but it suddenly expects you to play like you're in some battle royale arena instead of Sniper Elite. I was invaded in the first level, died because I tried to be aggressive, and was immediately invaded again, so I decided to find a defensible location and watch my angles of approach (y'know, like a sniper, in my sniping game) but was immediately penalised for 'camping' by having my location revealed. It wouldn't be so bad if there was some incentive to approach each other over time, but with open maps the size of some small countries, no time limit, and no regular hints about where the other guy is hiding (unless you use telephones, which can be booby-trapped), dealing with a single invader can take upwards of ten minutes. And this, in turn, wouldn't be such a big deal either, if you didn't get XP docked for playing with invasions disabled. If Rebellion is so proud of this new "feature" that they'll punish you for opting out, you'd think they'd have made sure to iron out the kinks first. I'll review this game properly if they find some way to make the invasions fun, or stop punishing people who opt out, because right now, they're a stain on the whole experience.

Unfortunately a 6.5/10 for me at the moment
Unfortunately a 6.5/10 for me at the moment. Core elements remain the same as in previous iterations, but new mechanics are implemented very poorly and detract from the overall experience. Most notably, the developers added vertical movement (a la Assassin's Creed), but--unlike in AC--while you can climb *some* surfaces such as vines, you can't even walk up the bank of a road or hop over a small pile of rocks. This leads to extremely awkward gameplay where you are never sure whether you can climb over something or not (usually not), and have to try first to find out. The aforementioned problem also means that the large open map, another new feature, is actually not large at all. For example, there are some roads that you simply cannot walk off of because you are somehow unable to ascend a 15 degree incline, despite being able to climb the side of a house. Compounding this problem are barriers that have absolutely no reason to be barriers, such as slightly-dense foliage and low walls. Why can I climb over medium walls but not low walls? The worst is when you find out you can actually climb something, such as as a side of a house--only to realize that it leads to a dead end (i.e. you cannot top out) and your only option is to climb back down. Remove the ambiguity, please. The redeeming quality is that, once you get past the fence that could only be cut in one place but not another, and actually get sniping, it's the same old goodness as before.

I'm an older gamer and enjoy sniper games
I'm an older gamer and enjoy sniper games. Not as fast paced, and I don't play online war games as I usually get my butt kicked fairly quick, so, the sniper games are fun for me. I have the complete Sniper Elite series and have been playing them since the first one was released. I play mostly on the cadet mode as that is where, for me, it is most fun. I get this "review" is not what most are looking for but I just wanted to say I am having fun and so far enjoying the game as I hope you will too.
