Microsoft has unveiled another batch of titles heading to its Xbox Game Pass subscription service, with Sniper Elite 4, OlliOlli 2, Rise & Shine, Sheltered, and Grip: Combat Racing all due in November.
Sniper Elite 4 and OlliOlli 2 lead the charge as far as oldies-but-goodies go, with the former scoring a coveted Eurogamer Recommended badge when Martin Robinson reviewed it last year. Despite Sniper Elite 4’s inevitable rough edges (“doge references aren’t particularly welcome anywhere in 2017, least of all in mission text for a WW2-themed video game”, said Martin), Rebellion’s latest series entry is its finest yet.
“Such blemishes aren’t enough to mask the brilliance that shines through here,” he opined, “Rebellion has folded in the essence of stealth greats such as Splinter Cell and Metal Gear while keeping the characterful flavour of Sniper Elite itself, and for the first time it’s not necessary to make any excuses on its behalf. Sniper Elite 4 is a really good video game. It’s as simple as that.”
