He’s an old chap sat on a bench briefly reminiscing, and his ‘diary’ acts as the menu hub and mission selector for the game. This framing device works well for narrative context but doesn’t outstay its welcome. It also, thankfully, doesn’t dawdle too long on this old fellow talking. It manages to not be too mawkish, and the unusual perspective of a Partisan rather than a square-jawed American Blast Hard Cheese-type is refreshing. The player is the narrator, an old man watching younger generations play happily away as he reminisces about the second world war, and his reasons for fighting. It’s an immediate and all too rare indicator of the quality and care infused in the game, and it gets better from there.Ī few button presses and the game loads, and we’re presented with a scene of the rural idyll a stone-built cottage in the Italian countryside and a young family playing in the sun. If, like me, you’re a natural tinkerer with game settings, rest assured you’re well catered for here. A huge selection of comfort and movement options are offered, simply and cleverly streamlined for those who want to dive quickly into the game. Good, crisp, and well-designed menus make it quite clear that the developers have taken things seriously. There is a distinct and rewarding whiff of quality to Sniper Elite VR from the moment it loads.
Sniper Elite VR seems to have heard my plea, arriving on the Quest with the cocksure swagger of a true contender. It made me opine that it really was high time that the Quest had a slick story-based FPS with high production values, one that didn’t require so many leaps of faith and compromises to enjoy. The last game I reviewed for this esteemed channel was Zero Caliber: Reloaded, a title as janky as it was fun.
