That said, it's grandfathered in a lot of Sniper Elite V2's AI issues, while also forcing players to micromanage too much when it comes to sniping. The sound masking system is poorly implemented, detracting from the core satisfaction of landing the perfect shot.

But it's almost too easy to forget all of these head-scratching issues when that bullet makes contact with someone's cranium. It's a shallow, crude pleasure, but the delightful disorder that's just around every corner is strong enough to overshadow an otherwise forgettable experience.

This is the rare game where one should miss the forest for the trees, as the sum of its parts is greater than the whole. There is a lesson to be learned here: playing it safe hampers chances for success.

I openly admit that I love gory kills and living the hero sniper fantasy, but Sniper Elite III only partially delivers on the latter. If you can't get enough of dramatic, transparent shots of enemies getting shredded by sniper fire, Sniper Elite III has you covered in spades. If you're interested in more motivation beyond the glory of the kill, look elsewhere.

A levelling system doles out new kit for your customisable loadout, and there’s co-op and online multiplayer to contend with when Fairburne’s mission is complete. But content is no substitute for quality, and while Sniper Elite III might have made for an engaging design document, it isn’t much of a game.
