At times, you’re forced into such gameplay, but mostly the game encourages stealth. If you want, you can treat Sniper Elite VR like a Call of Duty game and go running through the levels blasting Nazis in the face with pistols, shotguns, machine guns, and more. But… you don’t need to worry about any of that.

And placing a good shot amongst the noise of explosions or other gunfire will still conceal your handiwork. The familiar focusing of a shot to bring that diamond right where you want it is still in. The gruesome x-ray cams give you unprecedented access to the innards of Nazis. It wants to be the proper VR version of the traditional games, but it doesn’t quite hit the mark, and at times I forgot I was even playing a Sniper Elite game.Īll the standard hallmarks of Sniper Elite are here. So, the controller woes out of the way, what about the rest of the package? It’s fantastic but flawed. The PSVR Aim controller, however, is good enough, even if it’s still a little iffy, at least it’s got sticks for movement, which puts it streets ahead of the wands.

Fancy aiming down the sights of your two-handed weapon? The PS Move controllers would rather you didn’t. They’re in their teenage years now and they’re starting to rebel. The idea is sound and I imagine on the Quest and other headsets, the game will handle two-handed play far better, but here on the PSVR, the wands are showing their age. I tried to play with the PS Move wands and after half an hour I was ready to bite their glowing heads off. The PSVR Aim controller is the best way to experience Sniper Elite VR.
