5/7/2023 0 Comments Sniper elite vr sniper elite 5![]() ![]() Sniper Elite 4 offered some sizeable levels with different routes and a decent sense of freedom. ![]() Sometimes you’re standing in a small area, fending off waves of enemy soldiers, and sometimes you’re sneaking into a base while whistling the James Bond theme tune. The narrative is an excuse to propel you through a variety of locations and objectives. I can’t even remember the old man’s name, or give you any idea of who he is or what he’s like. After spending over a dozen hours shooting Nazi’s, I still don’t have a clue who anyone is. Likewise as the old man speaks of friendships forged it’s hard to care when you’ve barely seen them. It’s hard to care about a possible traitor in your midst when you’ve never even spoken to any of them. That makes the story tricky to connect with, especially since a heavy portion of it revolves around trust and betrayal. The actual plot is delivered through narration only, with no other characters ever speaking or properly interacting with you. Between missions you get to watch the old man’s family messing about in the garden and flick through available missions in a scrap book. The story is framed as an old man sitting in his garden, reminiscing of his days as a sniper for the Italian resistance during World War 2. So how does Sniper Elite handle the jump into VR? Is bringing a rifle to your face, aiming down the sight and pulling the trigger as much fun as it sounds? Y’know, as soon as I learned about Sniper Elite VR I though, “Actually, that makes complete and total sense.” What’s not to love about hefting a sniper rifle in VR and delivering a perfect long-shot straight through the ball-sacks of Nazis? This spin-off is developed by a different team with Rebellion mainly acting as the publishers, probably so they can carry on working on the inevitable Sniper Elite 5.
