*This game was 1 of 4 free games I got with a new video card back in September 2014,
an XFX Radeon R9 270x 4GB.*

I won't make this a super long review, so gonna just get to the point.


Campaign
The campaign overall was was good. It was a decent length, unlike many games can you can beat in maybe 4 to 5 hours. This was longer, having much more to offer.
Some levels, Halfya Pass for example took me at least 1 hour 30 minutes.

I was also glad at how large some of the levels were.
I like more open levels that this game had, with multiple approaches to objectives.
This then helped improve strategy and tactics for completing levels.

Go 1 way, tag many enemies, then go another way so you (with sound cover) and take them out 1 by 1.



Game Engine
I liked how well optimized the engine. The game felt very smooth, didn't lag pretty much at all.
Graphics I thought were pretty good. Honestly, I'm somebody whose not picky about graphics at all.
The Bullet Cam is always a positive thing, I like it's improvements.

The Engine as a whole, did seem like a major upgrade over previous Sniper Elite Games, including Nazi Zombie Army.
NZA II really lagged for me, regardless of settings. This game ran much better and was better optimized.



Multiplayer
*Will Update on this later. I haven't played the MP part of the game yet.*



Coop
I played a few Campaign levels with a friend, as well as some Overwatch levels.
Overwatch was fun, switch off between spotter and sniper. My friend kept letting me be the sniper since he said I was a better shot (more consistently accurate).

Both the Campaign Coop and Overwatch, at least for me, greatly increase the game replayability, since me and a friend can mess around.

I have not played survival mode yet.
I already completed and got Gold on all the Shooting Range also.




Final Thoughts
Overall, the game was pretty good. I'd probably give it an 8/10 score, maybe an 8.5 / 10.
The $49.99 price tag right now is too high. If you plan on getting it, wait until it's $20 or lower.

(I don't have ANY of the DLC. Just adding this.)
