Deal | A Humble Bundle with a popular tactical shooter offers 5 Steam games worth $242 for $14

The latest Humble Bundle caters to buyers who enjoy shooter games that require patience and planning. With refined targeting and stealth mechanics, the Sniper Elite series has amassed a loyal following. One bundle configuration includes all mainline Steam games in the series, except for the 2025 Sniper Elite: Resistance.

Sniper Elite 5 alone currently costs $49.99 on Valve's marketplace, making the $14 minimum donation more appealing.

The Sniper Elite franchise began in 2005, with the Rebellion Developments game debuting on the PC, PlayStation 2, and Xbox. The follow-up releases share many similarities in gameplay, characters, and settings. Players take control of Karl Fairburne, who despite his German origins, is an operative for the Allies during World War II. Although gamers explore areas from a third-person perspective, the targeting camera resembles first-person shooter games.

What separates the Humble Bundle Steam games from other shooters is the tactical requirements. Relying heavily on sniper rifles, Fairburne often attacks from afar. Players must find a position that provides a clear view of the enemy, without alerting his allies. Wind also influences trajectories, stepping up the realism of missions.

Sniper Elite V2 introduced the X-Ray Kill Cam, which became a fan favorite. Through a slow-motion sequence, gamers see the precise trajectory of a bullet and the damage it inflicts on targets.

How the Sniper Elite tactical shooter games have evolved

Over the years, the series has expanded its maps, providing players with more ways to achieve objectives. Sniper Elite 3 previewed some of the open-ended sandbox gameplay in later entries. The Humble Bundle deal includes the Season Pass DLC for the game, which adds to the variety of missions.

Many critics and players consider Sniper Elite 4 one of the best tactical shooter games, along with some Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon titles. It addresses criticisms of its predecessors by improving enemy AI. Competitive gamers can also access new multiplayer modes like Capture the Flag and Elimination. The fourth Sniper Elite sets new high marks, boasting a 90% Steam rating.

Some fans don't view Sniper Elite 5 as highly, noting that enemy behavior and level design regress. Nevertheless, the Invasion mode is well-received, where other players impede single-player campaigns.

For as little as $14, the Sniper Elite Classics Collection is an alternative to waiting for discounts on the individual Steam games. Without paying $242, gamers can also decide if the most recent Sniper Elite: Resistance is worth the investment.
