Trying to bring the fight up close turns into a frustrating, unresponsive, and cumbersome mess of a cover shooter. The 3rd person shooting here is fine as long as you’re sniping. It doesn’t help that Sniper Elite V2 does not feel responsive and this goes into the fundamental issues the game always had. Having the gyro aiming is almost a must since the Joy-Cons for me are terrible for precise aiming due to the small low profile joysticks. Then you also have the issues with the Switch itself, with its lack of accessible chat options and friends lists. When joining a server with only a couple of players I was greeted with poor performance and some glitches that allowed me to walk through solid objects. The matches only support up to eight people as well.

V2 does include that full suite of online modes, however, the player count was so low I could never even find a half full match. Now here are the unfortunate parts about this remaster some are from the game itself, but also a bit of a problem with the Switch. Slow motion x-ray shots are still as fun as they were before. This feature was one of the coolest things about Sniper Elite V2 and it’s just as satisfying today. Luckily, the awesome slow motion x-ray shots are still in here and as good as ever. It’s hard to tell if there were improvements to certain textures since I don’t have the original to compare, but with the small screen it’s difficult to tell. Also, some improvements to lighting and dynamic shadows are apparent immediately and add a lot to some scenes. There are some benefits of playing on the Switch and that comes down to being able to use the system’s gyro controls to let you fine tune your aim. This includes all the challenges, co-op, full suite of online modes, and all DLC that came out for the original. Being on the Nintendo Switch is already a plus, but they even included all the same features as the other consoles. Let’s start out with highlighting the good things about this remaster. The remaster may add a small amount of polish on this game, but it doesn’t improve on mechanics or level design, which was the crux of the original. This isn’t even based on an archaic control scheme, but the gameplay even in the original had major problems. While the story may hold up fine here, the rest of the game unfortunately has trouble staying relevant. The alternate reality WW2 holds up well even today since its not focused on the same main war events, but it doesn’t fully alleviate any WW2 burnout you may have. It’s only you against two warring nations. You will be using stealth, snipers, and a surprisingly large amount of large explosives to accomplish your mission. You will need to assassinate key leaders and help top scientists who wish to defect from the Russians and help the US. You’re tasked with stopping the Nazi V2 rocket technology from falling into the hands of the Red Army. In Sniper Elite V2 you play as Karl Fairburne, an elite US sniper who is sent into Berlin amidst the Germans’ final stand. However, I’m not saying Sniper Elite V2 Remaster isn’t worth playing, but let’s line up this remaster in the scope. My point is that this remaster seems almost pointless especially when its far superior sequel is right around the corner. But they also announced that Sniper Elite 3 Ultimate is coming to Switch as well and arguably it is a much more well rounded game than V2. Rebellion did announce they’re working on Sniper Elite 5, so the remasters are a good way to bring Sniper Elite to the Switch for the first time.

Or it’s a good way to re-introduce a series to gauge IP interest or to help create additional marketing for the new entry in a series. Typically a remaster gets green lit because it was a beloved game and fans want a newer version. Sniper Elite V2 Remastered is in a strange spot as far as remasters go.
