Sniper Elite V2 Remastered Reviews
Sniper Elite V2 gets a remaster but the changes might be as easy to spot as a sniper in a ghillie suit.
Sniper Elite V2 Remastered is a sublime WWII combat game, featuring a still very polished gameplay mechanic, great combat, and satisfying reward. The remastering makes the experience fresh and new, and while the level design is rather dated, the game still feels great, and even many degree better now than before.
Overall, Sniper Elite V2 Remastered was an exceptional experience. They’ve really upped the graphics here and the performance, while at times lowering slightly, generally ran really smoothly.
Becoming an Elite Sniper isn't an easy mission, especially at the height of World War II. But with the right equipment, a slow-motion kill cam, and a sniper rifle, there's nothing stopping you!
Sniper Elite V2 is a good game at face value, and a great game if you’re into the genre or the franchise.
Whilst not the best Sniper Elite game in the franchise, Sniper Elite V2 is certainly worth a look at if you’ve not played it before or have fond memories of it. The remaster has done wonders to the games visuals, pushing the resolution along with various enhancements to the lighting, shadows and textures – it’s never looked so pretty! Not only that, with the addition of a performance mode (I was playing on the PS4 Pro so I’m not sure of this on other models), the gameplay swaps from a solid 30fps to a buttery smooth 60fps at the blink of an eye. There’s just something therapeutic about sniping down Nazis in 60fps, watching their innards crumble in slow motion…
If you missed it the first time around, treat yourself. If you’re coming back from the original, cast aside any aspersions and just lose yourself in some classic Sniper Elite goodness.
On a whole I do have to say that the game does fell like the complete package, with all the extras such as characters that you can select from, all the DLC that was available being included, you are getting your monies worth, however, the technical aspect of the game still hold it back slightly. That being said, if you’re a fan of the series, or never got around to playing it the first time around, you will definitely enjoy the game.
Sniper Elite v2 Remastered is from its technical point of view a well made second part of a series, which managed to achieve through little adjustements a lot of depth and established himself in the videogame landscape. Even though the remaster misses many of the advantages of his successors and its linearity can be a little bit boring, interested new entrants and Fans, who are searching for a little snack until Sniper Elite 5, should give it a buy.

7 years after its original release, Sniper Elite V2 feels outdated, even with new graphics and extra levels. Nevertheless we still like the steallth elements, the realistic setting and the killcam.

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 franchise.
There is so much I really wanted to love about it. But small annoyances do add up: inconsistent AI, limited control options, and slightly repetitive mission structure to name a few.
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.
Finding Sniper Elite V2 Remastered at the beginning can be strange, it is not exactly a game that we want to make a remaster, but Rebellion has found sense to offer us the opportunity to play on our current machines to the game that defined the franchise and as we know it today. For the remaster all downloadable content has been added, and also a photo mode has been added, which together with some extras more, and the relevant technical and graphic upgrade, make up a title that fans of the franchise and other war games will appreciate.

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.
Sniper Elite V2 Remastered is enjoyable, if only you were a new fan of this series. As an avid fan, I feel like this remaster could have done a better job.

Even if Sniper Elite V2 Remastered shows the signs of age, it's still an enjoyable sniping game. There are some problems (AI is far from being perfect), but fans of stealth/sniping games should give it a look.

Sniper Elite V2 Remastered is a nice throwback in the series. While it is more linear than its follow-ups it still packs a visceral punch worth checking out. For those that exhausted the original it might be a tougher sell, but for anyone that passed it up the first time around it is definitely worth a look. Those slow-motion shots still never get old, even to this day.
As a fan of the Sniper Elite series, I loved going back to Sniper Elite V2.
Sniper Elite V2 Remastered is a decent package, and while it does show its age in some mechanical instances, this slice of nostalgia is still a great appetiser for the next big chapter in Fairburne's European safari.
