We have all seen the rise in the number of VR games and as we continue our hunt for the best sniper game, one thing also becomes obvious: there’s a wide variation in the quality of games. Many of these games are completely forgettable, but a few are strong, thrilling, and outright winners.

Pulsating action, advanced weaponry, mind-blowing designs, and dozens of other factors go into the making of top sniper HD games. These are games that could be called truly outstanding. We’ve played and evaluated a number of Oculus Rift games and it’s been a real treat playing some of them – like Sniper Rust VR.

The game’s action unfolds across some breathtaking scenery. All through the game, you simply can’t ignore the beauty of the different locations. And yet that’s the crazy paradox – take your sights off your enemy for just a few seconds and you’re dead meat!

To begin with, your face-off will happen in varied locales, which means what may work in your favor in one location may not be good enough in another locale. And the militia, keen to bump you off, will constantly try to get the better of you across each of the 18 different locations, all spread across the globe.

These locations include photorealistic ports and mountains and forests even age-old mythical temples! The treacherous and unreliable characteristics of these locales force you to think on your feet and trust nothing but your instinct. We’ll confess we haven’t seen too many Steam games that can match this.

As if this were enough, the firearms involved are highly efficient and modern. They include in-game access to real-world guns like the famous DSR-50, the lethal SVD Sniper rifle, the deadly MaC-7, and the beastly DG-5000. Your ability to strike first, strike fast, and leave maximum damage is only limited by your sharp-shooting skills and your ability to remain vigilant!

The Sniper Rust VR scores high also in the way it springs surprises. Just when you think you’re safe and you can put your feet up to relax for a moment, you will be under another assault! Sometimes, a stray bullet is all that takes to put you of action, and if that doesn’t do the trick you can be sure the next trap laid out for you will likely get you.

Even among the top HTC Vive games, we’ve played, The Sniper Rust VR impressed us with the way it’s conceived. As you play one level after the other (there are 18 levels in the paid version, against just one in the free version), you not only begin getting choices for advanced weaponry but you also get to fight diverse enemies. Just as your skills advance while you proceed in the game, the challenges become taut and fierce! Full marks to the game!
