The writing never manages to drag itself above being utterly bland and there’s no memorable characters, as proven by the fact that I cannot actually remember a single person’s name outside of the main protagonist and the villain, although it must be said that’s only because I wrote down both names in a notebook purely for this review. You venture from location to location, the links between each tenuous at best, attempting to discover Vahlen’s master plan. The plot centres around Vahlen building a super weapon somewhere in Africa and is mostly advanced through dull cutscenes between missions that are narrated by Karl Fairburne, the lead character and titular elite sniper/lone wolf. There’s some sort of storyline going on in Sniper Elite involving a typical bad guy by the name of Vahlen and the most generic, gruff white male protagonist imaginable, but it’s not what you would call a gripping narrative. I might have arrived late to the party, but I’m glad I got here. ![]() Having missed the previous two games, but heard from many people that Sniper Elite V2 was actually a title worth playing, I went into Rebellion’s later effort largely blind, having only an understanding garnered from videos and research rather than hands-on experience. The story could be a little more inspired but the gameplay is just simply so fun that it more than So much fun sniper elite 3 on switch is.Platforms: Xbox 360, Xbox One, PS3, PS4 and PC The story could be a little more inspired but the gameplay is just simply so fun that it more than makes up for it. Incredibly realistic bullet physics that make sniping fun, with a brutal x-ray cam that rips through bones, organs, and muscles in a realistic manner being your reward for a successful shot. You aren't just limited to sniping your enemies either, you can stealth or go in guns a-blazing. Sniper Elite 3 is a third person tactical shooter set in Africa during World War II. You will be surveying each area with your binoculars and carefully choosing the best method for dispatching your enemies. The events of the game take place prior to those in the 2012 second instalment of the series- Sniper Elite v2. You play as the same character American OSS agent, Karl Fairburne, where you investigate a top secret 'wonder weapon' enemy program that has the. All the weapons feel very different and good. power and heavy round reduce the risk of collateral (as long as my shot placement is on par obviously). ![]() You can customize your loadout extensively even modding your sniper rifle, with different scopes, reticles, stocks, triggers, and barrels, which again all feel very different. The maps are laid out like little mini open worlds, if you have ever played hitman you will know what I mean, with optional quests and collectibles. The game is very optimized for the switch and performs amazingly, which is a feat because it has to manage all units across the entire map, and the game looks great on the switch and the framerate is good, and never drops below 30 fps even in heavy combat. The motion controls are also very well integrated and are almost as good as keyboard and mouse(definitely better than any other controllers without motion controls) Stealth mechanics are also very good and fun with higher-level enemies spotting you quicker, you throwing a rock to distract enemies, enemies spotting you slower in the dark, or if you're in foliage. There is also a fun co-op mode to play with a friend who has a switch and a copy of the game, which makes the game even more fun, with you and your friend tag-teaming enemies. There is a competitive online sniper battle mode which is fun but I wish there was matchmaking and you didn't have to join or make a server. Plus there is a wave mode with you alone or you and a friend seeing how long you can survive with waves of enemies in increasing difficulties. Definitely worth a buy on the switch, (I would buy this even if I couldn't play on the go.) It will crave an itch for a stealth game, a sniper game, or a world war 2 game wonderfully. ![]()
