From Eurogamer: "Through its invasion mechanic, Sniper Elite 5 achieves the ultimate goal of any sniping game, to capture the tension and drama of Jude Law and Ed Harris squaring off in Enemy at the Gates. If, like me, you watched that film when you were too young to do so, and thought "I wish there was a game that let me do that", rather than the more balanced "wow, war is terrible," then Sniper Elite 5 is that game, just without the Russian setting or Rachel Weisz. Couple that with eight superbly flexible sandboxes and the most imaginative interactive representation of the second world war in at least a decade, and you've got yourself one of the most entertaining games of the year."

Glad I waited. They really went to town with the price gouging on this one. What did they think they were making? A fighting game?
As if!
Kraken Awakes is the latest DLC add-on for Sniper Elite 5. Sniper Elite 5 Kraken Awakes is the final piece in the Season Pass Two puzzle.
I really hope this one is a fully stealthy approach mission. So far, most of the missions try extremely hard to push you towards having to run and gun at some point in one or more of their map goals. But they say this is a stealthy mission, so it would be great to see that happen similar to the previous games.
Currently playing the main game, they have certainly ramped up the patrolling guards of the game and even on hunting. When the alarm sounds it’s almost impossible to get away or hide effectively. The guards have super sight and will hunt you down for a long while. Even after the alarm is over and the investigation is done the patrolling guards continue to hurry about.
Which leads to a more run and gun approach and bullying your way through the level because of the guards staying on high alert after every thing goes back to normal. The silenced pistols make a lot of noise apparently cause guards a good distance from your location will hear it and come to investigate. Taking out alarm with silenced shots still causes an alert, shooting generations to mask your shot will make guards come to your location.
Alll of that is just playing on normal/medium, thankfully I’m almost done, currently on mission eight. One more mission and then the closing mission ten which I’ve heard is really short and you can’t move about, it’s just to finish the game with a final shot.
I’ll look into possibly getting the dlc for the game as it’s a good game and excellent shooter regardless of my minor gripe.
