Hitman Sniper: The Shadows Critic Reviews

Arguably one of the best sniper games on mobile, the level of creativity here is fantastic, and it stays true to its roots. Hitman Sniper: The Shadows is a must-play for longtime fans and new assassins alike.

Hitman Sniper: The Shadows is a very nice shooter with stealth elements that requires precision, planning, adaptability and speed. Unfortunately, the free-to-play model appears to be a bit limiting and hits you with a paywall after just the first two chapters.

Favouring smaller, more scripted levels than its forebear, you’ll once again need to bump off targets while preventing your handiwork from being noticed by security. That means engineering ‘accidents’ by shooting pieces of scenery or gunning down targets where their bodies will fall conveniently out of sight. While still entertaining, PvP contests often seem as though you’re playing a bot rather than a human and the whole package feels a shade less compelling than the original, which is currently available for 49p.
