Sniper Elite V2

Post by Plan B »

A sequel to the 2005 sniper game, as in "Version 2", but moreso a reference to the nazi V2 rocket program.

Nice to see a highly tweakable game for PC again, both in the control settings and visual department.
Mouse/keyboard input is freely configurable, where you will like to turn off interfering shit like mouse smoothing/acceleration.
Don't know how demanding this game is, but I run everything maxed out without probs.
Bit dated graphics, but adequate =>

After a thorough tutorial introduction to the controls gameplay is good.
A satisfying mix of stealth (when patient) and action (when restless).
The killshots are delicious slomo horrors of your accurate snipage.

Of course it gets a bit repetitive, but that's pretty much inherent to the shooter genre.
I'm having a good time with this, it's very well put together.
Definitely worth more than how most reviewers score it.

Played a few hours, it seems fun but i think the repetivity (is that a word?) will cause me to not complete it. They should have reserved the xray vision for key kills as it's already tiresome.

It's also really hard on the top difficulty >:E
