The verdict
A big-map WWII stealth sandbox with satisfying X-ray kills and good co-op, but it plays more like Hitman than a sniper game. Skip it if you want long-range sniping.
Great for
Fans of Hitman-style stealth sandboxes, X-ray kill cams, and co-op or invasion play with friends
Main risk
Maps and AI push you into close-range stealth, so it lacks real sniping; co-op connection errors too.
