Instead of waiting decades for a new Grand Theft Auto release, there were numerous games that came out trying to satisfy the demand for open-world crime drama in the years between GTA releases. Games like True Crime, Saints Row, Mafia, Scarface, Crackdown, and many more attempted to seize this opportunity by offering players a similar experience while Rockstar was developing their next GTA installment. In a similar vein, since 2017’s Sniper Elite 4, I view the Sniper Elite series as a substitute for the Hitman series. Rebellion’s Sniper Elite: Resistance won’t surpass the exceptional quality of IO Interactive’s Hitman games, and it doesn’t seem to bring anything particularly new to its own series either. However, if you’ve enjoyed this type of game in the past and are eager for another one, Sniper Elite: Resistance appears to be a reliable alternative.
