Patience is a Virtue in Sniper Elite 4’s Open World of Choice In a game predicated on stealth and strategy, the ecstasy of long-range murder waxes but ultimately wanes as your tour of duty lengthens. But it’s never been quite as frustrating either. Being a homicidal voyeur has never been so exhilarating or fun. That’s how one early scenario played out in my first few hours with Sniper Elite 4, Rebellion’s newest (and arguably best) entry in the sniper-sim franchise set during World War II.
