Critic Reviews for Sniper Dan
3D hidden object game in which you'll fix things from a distance with your sniper rifle
Sniper Dan is the hidden object game for those who typically don't like hidden object games, with you having to shoot at objects rather than simply find them. Throw in lashings of humour and multiple ways to play, and you have a game that's fun and accessible for all.
Sniper Dan is a time-filler rather than something you’ll dwell on after you put it down, but then again that’s true of the Where’s Wally books too.
Its absurd humor did give it a distinct flavor, but with the meaningless rewards and progression this wasn't a game I really wanted to stare at for too long. Because in the end that made me a bit too aware of how hollow it feels. Sniper Dan is a competent game, but once you've shot your shot, that is about all I can say.
I had so much more fun with Sniper Dan than I thought I would and I'll be thinking about its very silly scenarios for quite some time. 🎯
It’s weird, it’s different, but it’s surprisingly well executed and has an upbeat cheer that straddles the line of plasticine without ever going too saccharine. It works, and I think it would work even better on PC, but still works great on Switch 2. I actually really liked hunting around to fix problems with bullets and patience, and I would definitely play some DLC if it ever came out. But man, I really gotta meditate on my position in the world after this one.
Sniper Dan is one of those games that manages to do a lot with very little. Its gameplay is extremely simple, and practically everything boils down to aiming and shooting, but Denki Ltd. found creative ways to use this mechanic to create interesting challenges, unexpected situations, and an absurd number of moments that made me laugh during my playthrough. The problem is that this creativity also reaches its limit. After approximately 10 hours, having already completed practically everything the game offers, there's little reason left to continue playing.

A hidden object game packed with wacky shenanigans as far as the eye can see, Sniper Dan is a surprisingly fun time that your family can join in with too.
