    Good game. Better than the previous entry. The open world setting is a breath of fresh air. Though not perfect but still good enough if you're a fan of sniper elite.

    This is a great game, but there are a number of questions to it.
    Questions for the game as an independent unit
    1. Why such a strange mechanics? I shoot a fascist and he flies off somersaulting. 2. Why sometimes when I see the enemy in the sight and shoot him - in fact, I shoot for cover in front of me? The rest is a dynamic shooter with excellent graphics and interesting gameplay.    This is a great game, but there are a number of questions to it.

    However, the game has questions as to the representative of the "sniper elite" series.
    1. Why are there so few survival cards? In 2 and 4 parts there are much more of them (in the second there are 5 of them, in 4 I don’t remember how many, but also not a few). Here, in the third part, there are only two and they are limited to 15 waves.    … Expand

    The game is simply not realistic. The enemies shrug off bullets without emotion. It's a shooting range simulator at best.

    So much fun sniper elite 3 on switch is. The story could be a little more inspired but the gameplay is just simply so fun that it more than makes up for it. Incredibly realistic bullet physics that make sniping fun, with a brutal x-ray cam that rips through bones, organs, and muscles in a realistic manner being your reward for a successful shot.

Incredibly realistic bullet physics that make sniping fun, with a brutal x-ray cam that rips through bones, organs, and muscles in a realistic manner being your reward for a successful shot.
    You aren't just limited to sniping your enemies either, you can stealth or go in guns a-blazing. You will be surveying each area with your binoculars and carefully choosing the best method for dispatching your enemies.
    All the weapons feel very different and good. You can customize your loadout extensively even modding your sniper rifle, with different scopes, reticles, stocks, triggers, and barrels, which again all feel very different.
    The maps are laid out like little mini open worlds, if you have ever played hitman you will know what I mean, with optional quests and collectibles.
    The game is very optimized for the switch and performs amazingly, which is a feat because it has to manage all units across the entire map, and the game looks great on the switch and the framerate is good, and never drops below 30 fps even in heavy combat. The motion controls are also very well integrated and are almost as good as keyboard and mouse(definitely better than any other controllers without motion controls)
    Stealth mechanics are also very good and fun with higher-level enemies spotting you quicker, you throwing a rock to distract enemies, enemies spotting you slower in the dark, or if you're in foliage.
    Very good and fun stealth.
    There is also a fun co-op mode to play with a friend who has a switch and a copy of the game, which makes the game even more fun, with you and your friend tag-teaming enemies. There is a competitive online sniper battle mode which is fun but I wish there was matchmaking and you didn't have to join or make a server. Plus there is a wave mode with you alone or you and a friend seeing how long you can survive with waves of enemies in increasing difficulties.
    Definitely worth a buy on the switch, (I would buy this even if I couldn't play on the go.) It will crave an itch for a stealth game, a sniper game, or a world war 2 game wonderfully. Definitely one of the best stealth games on the switch.    … Expand

    Distilled down to a very, very strong portable title, Rebellion brings its A-game with Sniper Elite 3 on the Switch. It's not just that it's one of its best creations to date, but also the fact that it comes with so little sacrifice, and the series unique and visceral gameplay. It seems that the multiplayer is getting a lot of praise as well from those who could play it so. With that in mind there is no reason not to pick up this port, especially if you've not had the chance to play through it before.

    This score is ultimately a reflection of both Sniper Elite 3 Ultimate Edition the game (which is excellent) and the Nintendo Switch hardware (which while also excellent, I found not up to this task when trying to play handheld). The determination here is: if you're happy to play this game with your Switch in console mode, you're in for a grand old time; if you want to keep things handheld, better to try something else.

    With the Nintendo Switch lacking in war games and good third-person shooters, the Sniper Elite franchise has managed to fill the void with a well-placed bullet. The setting of Sniper Elite 3 Ultimate Edition is engaging, the campaign is varied, the gyro controls are remarkable, and the experience is entertaining. Sniper Elite 3 Ultimate Edition is an excellent Switch game and one that fans of World War 2 shooters will thoroughly enjoy.
