Sniper Elite VR is available today on SteamVR, PSVR and Oculus Quest. That’s a hard sell when there are a bunch of other great virtual reality games, but if you’re burned through all of those, Sniper Elite VR definitely has its moments. Practice and patience could change that, however, and Sniper Elite VR has the potential to be amazing-if you have the patience and time to put into it. It’s too bad, however, that setting up long range shots isn’t as satisfying as it could be, especially with the troubles I had with my virtual rifle. Sniper Elite VR is best when it gives you the freedom to do what you want, with the weapons you want. Overall, Sniper Elite is approximated pretty well in VR-for good and for bad. There are lots of comfort settings to make Sniper Elite VR as comfortable as possible. If you’re someone who gets motion sick while playing some virtual reality games, like me, then you’ll be happy to know that Sniper Elite VR does a ton to alleviate motion sickness. While I’m not a fan of gratuitous violence, there’s something about Sniper Elite’s kill cams that always feel silly more than gross, and this effect is amplified in virtual reality, as you watch bones snap and organs pop as you’re given a disembodied view of the gnarly x-ray action.

If you’re also wondering about Sniper Elite’s famous kill cams, they’re also included in full virtual reality gory-er, glory.

Stealth is still important, but enemy reaction time feels slower in this VR version of Sniper Elite, though I did die a few times trying to escape while panic teleporting-but if you’re wondering if full locomotion is included, it is. Sniper Elite VR takes a while to ramp up, and you’ll have to go through several missions before you’re given the freedom to approach levels in a more open ended fashion. If you were hoping for Sniper Elite, but in virtual reality-you got it with Sniper Elite VR, but with caveats. Fumbling with your rifle under fire just isn’t very fun. There were so many times that I thought I had the bolt seated forward only to not be able to shoot. And finally, working the action on the available sniper rifles is miserable and imprecise. There’s a way to focus your aim, just as in the non-virtual Sniper Elite, but even then it requires a steadiness that I didn’t readily have. Second, steadying the rifle is about as easy as trying to steady a virtual rifle between two controller points can be. You can’t see down the scope unless you’re holding the rifle in the specific configuration required to aim. First of all, there is no way to hip fire the sniper rife. That’s a great idea in practice, but the execution is lacking in a few fundamental ways. To do that, they went with the requirement of holding the rifle with one controller, while steadying it with the other. Sniper Elite VR set out on an impossible task: to approximate using a sniper rifle in VR. I have to point out that I played the SteamVR version with my Index headset and controllers, so mine might not be an experience shared across all configurations, but weapon handling in Sniper Elite VR is awkward. That isn’t the experience I’ve had with Sniper Elite VR. Some games, like Half Life: Alyx feel so precise that you almost forget you’re holding a controller as the game just does what you want it to.

I mean, using any gun in that game is a bit clumsy.

Okay, so I have to say right off: I hate using sniper rifles in Sniper Elite VR.
