A stealthy sniper gets to live another day, whereas a noisy one ends up getting shot in the face before they can cry out for help! The main event comes from satisfyingly taking down the enemies with the slow-motion X-ray death shots from a few hundred feet away! Each level is like a small open sandbox of death – not as much as we saw in the brilliant Sniper Elite 4, but there’s a decent amount of wiggle room for you to choose how you wish to play the game. The story may be rather simplistic and the goals for each mission are usually the same (clear out the local area then either set up an ambush or take someone down), but that’s only part of the experience. As you work your way through the surprisingly short campaign, you’ll travel through various locations befriending defecting key members as well as taking out those who stand in your way. Just like Danganronpa V3, the ‘V2’ within the title isn’t there for show, your mission is to prevent the Nazi V2 rocket from falling into the wrong hands, whatever the cost. Our protagonist is a soldier known as Karl Fairburne, an elite sniper who has been dropped into enemy territory during the Germans’ final stand. Technically, it’s a reimagining of the first game is it’s set in the same place and time but with a different narrative. Sniper Elite V2 is the second game within the Sniper Elite franchise, yet it has its own self-contained story so you don’t need any prior knowledge of the original game in order to enjoy it.
