Sniper Elite 4

PC Gamer US Edition|October 2016

Rebellion shoots straight for our hearts.

- Ben Maxwell

Since Sniper Elite V2 introduced X-ray kill cams to the series, the ability to witness lingering, slow-motion testicle destruction has been something of sore point for players (in every respect). But while “nut shots” have floated to the surface in an otherwise serious, and rather ambitious, series, there are much greater horrors to be found in Sniper Elite 4.

Take the occasion I loosed a shot at another sniper searching for my position, and watched as it skimmed the edge of the sights he was using and plunged into his chin, shattering his jaw into jagged splinters. Or the time one of my bullets carved a channel across the back of a hapless enemy, then ricocheted off his shoulder blade and deeper into his chest cavity. Or the panicked moment I was surprised by a patrolling soldier and watched as the knife I thrust into his heart ended its beating. It’s thrilling stuff, but it is horrible, too.

Special Report- Stacked Deck - Monster Train, a deckbuilding roguelike that firmly entrenched itself as the crown prince to the kingly Slay the Spire back in 2020, was the kind of smash success you might call Champagne Big.

Monster Train, a deckbuilding roguelike that firmly entrenched itself as the crown prince to the kingly Slay the Spire back in 2020, was the kind of smash success you might call Champagne Big. Four years later, its successor Inkbound’s launch from Early Access was looking more like Sandwich Big.I’m not just saying that because of the mountain of lamb and eggplants I ate while meeting with developer Shiny Shoe over lunch, to feel out what the aftermath of releasing a game looks like in 2024. I mean, have I thought about that sandwich every day since? Yes. But also, the indie team talked frankly about the struggle of luring Monster Train’s audience on board for its next game.
