What is Sniper Elite: Resistance?

A third-person action shooter set in Nazi-occupied France during World War II. As SOE operative Harry Hawker, you use sniping, stealth, and close-range gunplay across campaign missions while working with the French Resistance to stop a new Nazi weapon. Missions have different entry and exit points, and the full campaign is playable in co-op.

For you if...

+you like patient stealth mixed with long-range shooting
+you want a campaign playable alone or cooperatively
+you enjoy accounting for wind, gravity, and heart rate

Not for you if...

−you dislike graphic slow-motion X-ray kill cams
−you expect a major departure from Sniper Elite 5

What players say

75% of 6,198 reviews are positive · 74% of 193 in the last 30 days

Players praise the stealth-and-sniping sandbox, level design, X-ray kill cams, and Invasion mode. The dominant complaint is that it changes little from Sniper Elite 5, with reused assets and some smaller maps making it feel more like an expansion than a separate full-price game.
