Sniper Elite: Resistance Review (SkacikPL)
50 bucks for a standalone DLC for SE5
If you like SE5, then just get this one via gamepass, there's no point for paying 50 bucks for something that was already sold to you three years ago.
Other than that it's literally SE5 with its own missions and different set of weapons, some of it is better, some of it is worse but it doesn't inherently change anything meaningful from its base proudct.
To reiterate
What is the same:
The engine itself, exact same features from a product that was already late to the party back in 2021. No temporal anti aliasing, no raytracing, nothing.
Animations, sounds, models, textures - vast majority has been built from assets already made for SE5.
What has changed:
Texture resolution has been increased noticeably, in essence nothing that couldn't be a free DLC to SE5.
What is new
Weapons
Campaign and story (shorter than similarly priced on launch SE5)
Main character
New voiceovers
Some music?
Some multiplayer maps (whilst others are reused from SE5 but have different time of day)
Gestapo and SS enemies but they have no real functional difference from commanders/soldiers from SE5 besides the model.
Separate propaganda mission mode
Quite sure that the spinoff deliberately focused on separate character to somehow justify it being a separate product but all it boils down to is a new main character that looks like the chinese gopher meme, starring in grand total of 2 visibly hand animated cutscenes.
This does not mean it is inherently a bad game, it's about as good (or bad) as SE5 is but it's clear it's not worth 50 bucks when it's free on gamepass. Unless you're hardcore series fan, there's no need to spend this much money on something that probably costed pennies to produce and was mostly built off an older product that you have already bought.
