So this come up a lot as my group is still stuck in some old 3.5 habits. As far as I can tell the only creature types immune to these things are ooze & elemental. Incoporeal is immune to criticals and sneak attacks.
It does not seem like any other type has any immunity tho those things. I am fine with that but i just want to be clear.
What would be really useful is a list by attack type and then list what types are immune to it.
Critical: ooze: elemental, & incoporeal
Sneak attack: ooze, elemental, & incoporea
Flank: ooze & elemental
It could continue on with bleed, stun, etc. That makes it much easier to look up I think as some creatures have a ton of immunities.
Swarms are immune to them also.
Also not the incorporeal creatures lose said immuntiy against Ghost touch weapons.

AFAIK only creatures with All-Around Vision are immune to flanking.
(Improved Uncanny dodge give immunity to flanking too, but it is a class feature, not a creature ability)
Ooze and elementals are immune to precision damage. Precision damage is mostly sneak attack damage, but there are a few other way to deal it, like the Precise Strike teamwork feat and the duellist Precise Strike ability.
When making a melee attack, you get a +2 flanking bonus if your opponent is threatened by another enemy character or creature on its opposite border or opposite corner.
Edit. Swarms are immune to flanking too as they composed by a myriad of small creatures.
