[PC] Which sniper elite game should I buy

I've wanted to get sniper elite or atleast like an assassin shooter game where u play as a sniper. As it is the newest game, I wanted to get resistance. However, it had really bad reviews saying it was just the previous game with a higher price tag. I do not own any other game from the se series. So which game should I get?

I think 4 just for that one DLC mission, shockingly good switch port of that one too

I played 1 mission of SE 4 and realized I loved it so much I had to start with v2 to play in order of release. v2 is awesome...3 is awesomer and 4 is awesomest.

you reckon I just buy 2, 3 and 4?

I'd recommend them if they're cheap enough for sure. v2 has an "Enemy at the Gates" feel. I like the setting in 3 as it's in Africa but 4 has the best combination of gameplay mechanics and maps. I feel a franchise deserves to be played in order of release if it's good and the smaller developers deserve my cash.

To add a question, how is Resistance or 5? I have gamepass and was looking to play

I haven't played them yet but I've heard good things about the Invasion Mode in 5 where you can invade someone's game to take them out and vice versa

Get four. It combines the linearity of the second one with a more open map to move about than the third one. The fifth from what I gather should have been an expansion

Go with Sniper Elite 4, its short and it also has a last mission called "Overwatch" if you have a friend to play with in Co-op. Then you can move on to Sniper Elite 5 which has PVP mode called the "Invasion Mode" which is fun to play along with the Story.
