Sniper Elite is a 2009 third-person action game developed by Rebellion, set in war-torn Berlin during the final days of World War II. Players control an American OSS sniper caught between Soviet and German forces in what the narrative frames as the opening covert operations of the Cold War. The game combines long-range sniping mechanics featuring bullet physics with stealth mission design where enemy reaction systems and tactical positioning matter considerably. Reviewers highlight the game's x-ray killcam, which shows anatomical damage in visceral detail, as a distinctive feature that sets it apart. Players describe the overall experience as challenging and immersive, with the Berlin setting offering creative angles for vantage points and elimination strategies. Priced at $7.99 USD, the game holds a 71% positive rating from 1,334 Steam reviews and is marked as playable on Steam Deck.

About Sniper Elite: As World War II draws to a close, the first covert battles of the Cold War begin. Caught in the life and death struggle between Soviets and Germans in war-torn Berlin, you control the fate of a lone American OSS Sniper.
