Sniper Elite V2 Remastered Switch Series Does Well
Boy, oh boy, if there’s one thing the Sniper Elite series does well, it’s the ridiculous kill animations. However, you can’t hold your breath if you’ve just sprinted and forced your heart rate to skyrocket, so a slow and methodical approach is required.Once you’ve found the perfect vantage point, when you’ve lined up a clear shot, pulling the trigger is brutal. Additionally, on lower difficulty settings, a red crosshair will appear on where your shot will land based on your current aim. These choices allow you to play the way you enjoy best, whether it be aiming straight for Nazi or Soviet scalps or needing to allow for natural physics, requiring you to aim above targets for bullets to hit their prey.Beyond the malleable settings, all good snipers need to know that a low resting heart rate is vital for precision – pressing “R” while scoped will hold your breath, steadying your aim and slowing down time to line up the killing shot. Fortunately, this one-trick pony performs its singular hook strongly.For starters, Sniper Elite V2 offers a decent suite of custom difficulty settings to tweak enemy AI, and the realism of bullet trajectory.
Naturally, a game about sniping will guide you towards using the main weapon, but you’re forced to use the others enough for this to be an issue.Sniper Elite V2’s level design isn’t overly inspiring, either. Trying to aim with the sidearms is arguably more painful than what the kill cam victims experience – the recoil and spray on these weapons is dreadfully unwieldy. Obviously, the most fun is to be had with a sniper in hand, but the close-combat weapons of pistols and light machine guns aren’t proportionally satisfying to use. Seeing a bullet spiral towards an enemy in slow motion before eviscerating their innards is forever spectacular.While each sniper rifle featured in Sniper Elite V2 feels weighty and packs significant stopping power, the same cannot be said for literally any other type of weapon. These kill cams never get old, either. You’ll hear the crunch of breaking bones and squelch of flesh exploding into a bloody mess – it’s equal parts horrific and mesmerising.

Although, Sniper Elite V2 features a surprisingly robust photo mode, accessible even during cutscenes – something I certainly did not expect.In all honesty, V2 would almost be better served as a more arcade experience, instantly moving you from one sniping opportunity to another and doing away with the lacklustre third-person components altogether.Sniper Elite V2 Remastered is a middle-of-the-road game with one top-class element. Despite its remastering, it still shows its age and is not a pretty game by any stretch. And you know by now how I feel about that.For all my complaints, Sniper Elite V2 is a perfectly competent port on the Switch. No matter how long you wait in your comfy sniping spot, they won’t appear until you’ve passed a certain point on the ground, forcing you to engage up close. All because you tripped an arbitrary pixel of land to invite the next bunch of lead bags to the party.
