I'm going to do something a little different for July and August, I'm going to play through and do writeups of the three games I bought during the Steam Summer Sale 2017.
The next game I'm going to play is Sniper Elite 3.
Originally released on June 27th, 2014 I've had my eye on Sniper Elite 3 since I learned about it after getting Sniper Elite V2 for free via a Steam Promo. It currently has a rating of Mostly Positive with 79% of the 7,978 reviews being positive.
I really enjoy ranged combat and sneaking around. Last week's Shadow of Mordor impressions post should be evidence enough of that, but also every one of my characters in Skyrim have ended up being some sort of Archer Thief because I prefer sneaking through the dungeons and thinning out the groups of bandits, Falmer, or vampire thralls that I come across.
Anyway Sniper Elite is one of those games that really scratches that itch, especially with showcasing the grisly damage a well-aimed shot does to its victim. I stopped playing V2 once I got to the third mission or so because I was sent to infiltrate an underground rail system of some kind and I got frustrated because there was no good way to move around undetected since the shot reports were so loud and would echo through the tunnels alerting the rest of the guards who would then swarm me. I played a demo of Sniper Elite 3 some time around when it was launched and I really liked the bright North-African setting compared to the drab West-Germany setting of V2.
I'm really looking forward to this playthrough and I'm curious to see what I got with the Season Pass.
