Sniper Elite: Resistance - unambitious tech but well executed and lots of fun


How well does Sniper Elite: Resistance run on PS5 and Xbox consoles? Digital Foundry reports.

Visually, I think Resistance does a great job of depicting environments at scale: many of the game's levels have lush, abundant foliage, along with draw distances that push impressive detail deep into the entire player view. Rebellion relies heavily on screen-space ambient occlusion (SSAO) as a kind of indirect lighting hack to make environments look richer, but it's thick and applied indelicately, almost like an outline shader. That's not necessarily a bad trade-off, but I wouldn't mind seeing a proper 60fps option as well - preferably one that makes all the resolution and settings compromises needed to hit a decently consistent 60fps on Series S hardware.
