While Germany is the core focus of the majority of World War II games, for obvious reason, Sniper Elite 4 instead turns its attention to Italy, and tasks you with a one-man liberation mission to free the country from the clutches of fascism. You’re talking between 1-2 hours per level – it really is fantastic stuff. The vast scale of the levels is something to behold. There’s a great case to be made, though, that the Sniper Elite series, and in particular Sniper Elite 4, serve up the greatest, standout Second World War gaming that the Switch has to offer. The Nintendo Switch, for all of its thousands of games, is actually pretty underserved by the genre, what with the Call of Duty series having bypassed the system entirely and other shooters heading off to cover other periods of time.
There was a time in gaming history where you couldn’t swing a cat without colliding with a game that was set during World War II.
