Around every corner is another enemy to silently take down and every car can be destroyed with a well-place bullet, mine, or grenade. There is something supremely entertaining about figuring out how to get through a mission and watching it all blow up at the end with one bullet into a gas canister, and the game knows this. The game's story is entirely forgettable, its tiptoe into the realm of gun and loadout customisation is better left untouched, and its Survival and Multiplayer modes can easily be ignored - but the gameplay is unmatched in what it does. Sniper Elite 3 Ultimate Edition for the Nintendo Switch is a simple, yet enjoyable experience. Unfortunately during play for review I did encounter a few bugs.Īlthough these can be summed up as annoying breaks in the game's flow - getting stuck in a wall enemies popping through a wall to kill you being flung off a ledge whilst picking up a dead body, etc - it was completely frustrating to work through most of a level almost perfectly, to have your progress stopped by something out of your control. Despite being interesting and - perhaps - unintentionally funny scenarios, the game's main campaign is where most of the fun in the game can be found. The DLC campaign missions involve killing Adolf Hitler, and protecting Sir Winston Churchill in a number of strange situations. This is very much the game's hook - if this doesn't get you, Sniper Elite is not the game for you. There are few things as satisfying to experience in Sniper Elite than spending the best part of 30 minutes fighting your way to the top of a crow's nest and taking one perfect shot at the mission target in slow motion. While entirely gratuitous and unnecessary, these frequent segments can be likened to the camp grind-house horror-movies from the '80s and '90s, and should be enjoyed as such. As players - and non-players - will know, each sniper rifle kill initiates a slow-motion cinematic kill-cam, which shows the bullet burying itself into whichever bone or organ was aimed at.
