10 Severely Underrated PS4 Games That Deserve A Second Chance
8. Sniper Elite III
Though pretty much everyone seemed to hail Sniper Elite IV as the moment Rebellion Development's WW2 series finally matured, gamers who dismiss the previous entry in the franchise are only depriving themselves of an enjoyable title.
Sniper Elite III, which is set in the North African campaign during the Second World War, succumbed to criticism pertaining its protagonist, storyline and setting, and though there's nothing particularly memorable about SOE operative Karl Fairburne, his inoffensive personality in no way impedes the crux of the title - killing Nazis.
Following in the footsteps of Lt. Aldo Raine, the player is tasked with wreaking havoc on the Nazi war machine and with outfoxing the original Desert Fox, Erwin Rommel. It's great fun, with the series' infamous x-ray animations making each shot feel just that little bit more important, whether you be sabotaging or causing different kinds of chaos behind enemy lines.
It's not quite Sniper Elite IV, but it's still a cracking WW2 action game and one worth checking out all the same.
