Review Sniper Elite 5 (PS5) - Deeply Replayable Sandbox Shooter Is a Real French Fancy
C'est magnifique
Sniper Elite is a series so confident in its execution that Rebellion doesn’t really need to reinvent the wheel. The latest instalment, Sniper Elite 5, takes the gravel-voiced Karl Fairburne and his immaculately shaped short-back-and-sides to Nazi-occupied France, where he uncovers a MacGuffin plot called Operation Kraken which...

Review Sniper Elite VR (PSVR) - Precision Shooting That Mostly Hits the Mark
Sniper, no sniping

Review Sniper Elite V2 Remastered - Serviceable Sniper Action Stuck in the Past
Not so ghillied up
Sniper Elite V2 Remastered is the re-release of a PS3 game that was already a remake of the original title in the series. It’s a confusing timeline to say the least, but what baffles us even more is the sheer existence of this PS4 version in the first place. Subsequent sequels, Sniper Elite III and Sniper Elite 4, outmatch the...
Review Arca's Path - PSVR's Next Must-Have Title
Marble madness
2018 has been a stellar year for PlayStation VR. After Sprint Vector kicked things off with a speedy locomotive system that had everyone at Push Square Towers working up a sweat, we’ve been treated to the likes of cutesy platformer Moss, horror fanatics were swept away with The Persistence, and those looking for a
