Sniper Elite V2 Remastered

Sniper Elite V2 Remastered brings a classic into the modern age. There are plenty of new bells and whistles, but the core gameplay and design remain the same. For better and worse.

Sniper Elite V2 Remastered is a solid remaster that allows you to experience the campaign, DLC levels, and visceral, satisfying shooting the game is known for again in 2019. Some aspects of the game have not seen much of an upgrade if any upgrade at all, with the game's AI and the audio system showing its age. Despite that, the game is an enjoyable way to hop back into Rebellion's classic franchis...

Overall, Sniper Elite V2 Remastered is a fun if slightly dated affair. Having played Sniper Elite 4, it’s difficult to go back to V2 and not be influenced by hindsight. I can so clearly see how much Rebellion has improved their craft from Sniper Elite V2 to Sniper Elite 4 in virtually every single aspect of game design. However, this is a review of Sniper Elite V2 Remastered, and not its successor...

A remastered game is still the same old game, but with prettier graphics. Current owners of Sniper Elite 2 probably won't find better graphics to be worth a purchase, but new players wanting to start the venerable series near the beginning might want to give it a try.

Despite a graphical upgrade, Sniper Elite V2 Remastered shows its age in almost every way — but that doesn't mean it's not a good time.

As was the case with Rogue Trooper Redux and Battlezone Gold Edition previously, Rebellion has done justice to one of its most enduring franchises here. While Sniper Elite V2 Remastered isn’t the series' high point, it does offer a fine opportunity to sample its most enjoyable features – including scouting entire locations and taking incredible shots at even more incredible distances – on a brand ...

A very barebones remaster that is great for newcomers, but unnecessary for owners of the previous game.

Sniper Elite V2 Remastered is in a strange spot as far as remasters go. Typically a remaster gets green lit because it was a beloved game and fans want a newer version. 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. Rebellion did announce they’re working on Sniper Elite 5, so the remasters are a good way to bri...

Sniper Elite V2 Remastered is a conflicted game. It’s one part phenomenal sniping experience and one part clunky, run-of-the-mill third-person shooting gallery full of awful AI. If you’re able to overlook its glaring faults, there’s fun to be derived from its attention to realism in its sniping and its brilliant bullet cam gore, but overall, this one’s best left in the past.

Though it’s nice to have on current consoles, Sniper Elite V2 Remastered doesn’t feel like an essential buy for all but the most die-hard of Sniper Elite fans. It’s a fun sniping romp that’s nice to have reunited with its sequels on current gen consoles, where there is a huge step up compared to the last generation versions, but it’s also a reminder of how far the series has come in the meantime a...
