Sniper Elite III‘s decidedly bare-bones narrative (which can be completed cooperatively with another player) details the exploits of OSS sniper Karl Fairburne, 2014’s blandest protagonist, during World War II’s North Africa campaign. The video game equivalent of a pretty decent birthday present wrapped in six-year-old newspaper and duct tape, Sniper Elite III finds a way to feel both exciting and dated at the same time. Though it is arguably the best place to experience long-distance military gameplay, nearly every other aspect of Rebellion Oxford’s skull-popping third-person stealth shooter leaves something to be desired. Enter Sniper Elite III, the prequel to Sniper Elite V2, the part-remake part-sequel to Sniper Elite (it’s not just you, the series history is somewhat perplexing in general). When developers play it overly safe, two things automatically happen: the game’s ceiling gets lowered and players generally feel underwhelmed.
