![]() I really want to spoil the ending because of how daft the climax is, but I won’t ruin anything. It’s not only staggeringly trite, it fumbles over itself.

I remember how cool it was to shoot the hats off of enemies in Goldeneye for the N64, but look at how far we’ve come with Sniper Elite 5! With the “X-Ray” cam, you get that up-close and personal touch, and watching your shot tear through the innards of Germany’s footsoldiers is just gravy. Being a sniper is satisfying and all, but killing Nazis at a distance just lacks intimacy. The Sniper Elite series really hit gold with its X-ray kills.
