Kingdom Come Delivers, Sniper Elite Resistance Fails – A Brutal Review

Welcome back, everyone! It’s been a while, but we’re back with a vengeance. There haven’t been many great games lately, but two big ones just dropped – Sniper Elite Resistance and Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. One of them is worth every second, and the other… well, you’ll see.

Gaming News Rundown

🔹 GTA VI on PC? – Take-Two is back at it, dodging questions like a trained spy agency. Will GTA VI come to PC? Probably, but they won’t say when. Get ready for another year-long wait while console players sit back with their popcorn.

🔹 Roblox’s Growing Pains – The digital babysitter for kids is tightening security (finally). Great news for parents, but bad news for Roblox, which now has to deal with an SEC investigation. Because of course, they do.

🔹 Nintendo Switch 2 Tease – Nintendo continues to keep pricing under wraps like it’s the Krabby Patty formula. Scalpers are sharpening their knives, and gamers are preparing for pre-order chaos.

🔹 RollerCoaster Tycoon Classic on Switch – Time to charge $20 for bathroom access and send guests flying! The nostalgia trip continues as this classic gets a physical release.

🔹 PSN Outage Drama – Sony’s servers went down, and everyone had 2011 flashbacks. Sony’s response? “Nothing to see here.” But do we buy it? Nope.

Main Reviews

🎯 Sniper Elite Resistance – How to Ruin a Franchise

Sniper Elite has officially shit the bed.

• Recycled maps (seriously, they copy-pasted missions from Sniper Elite 4).

• A.I. dumber than a sack of bricks—you can dance in front of them, and they still won’t notice.

• Gunplay is somehow both janky and boring.

• Movement is laughable—why is our sniper climbing vines like Lara Croft?

• Voice acting? Oh wait, there is none. Just awkward grunting.

• The pacing is so bad, you’ll be struggling to stay awake.

Verdict? This is a masterclass in failure. Save yourself the pain and replay Sniper Elite 4 instead.

⚔️ Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 – A Brutal, Hilarious Masterpiece

Now THIS is how you make an RPG.

• You start as a noble knight… but within an hour, you’re naked, humiliated, and thrown into medieval chaos.

• The game pulls zero punches—you will die. A lot.

• Freedom to be a complete bastard—murder, robbery, and feeding a man’s dog back to him? Sure.

• NPCs actually react—walk into town covered in blood, and you’ll be treated like the psychopath you are.

• The world is immersive, and every choice matters.

• Gambling is addictive, and the economy is brutal—money is hard-earned.

• Combat is unforgiving but rewarding—no button-mashing here, just pure medieval swordplay.

Verdict? Kingdom Come 2 is an absolute gem and a strong contender for Game of the Year.

Final Thoughts

• Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is a must-play.

• Sniper Elite Resistance should have never been released.

• GTA VI PC gamers… we suffer once again.

• Nintendo Switch 2—just tell us the damn price already!

That’s it for this week! What are your thoughts? Let me kno

Transcript

welcome to this week's episode, everybody. I know it's been a while. Lots of stuff has happened and not many good games have come out. So I've been a bit like not being able to really talk about much, but that being said, two games. Big games came out and that was sniper Elite resistance and kingdom come Deliverance two and I'll be talking about those two mainly because one of them is quite a short review and you'll see why. 

I'm here and still gaming, so let's talk about the news. 

 ------ GTA VI on PC ------  1:14

So GTA six take Two's top brass is at it again, dropping their cryptic statements like they're running a spy agency. The PC version of GTA six. We love PC. They say it's important, they insist. But will they actually confirm a release date? Not yet. But rumor has it that it is going to be on the PC. But they're not saying they're playing hard to get and gamers are in a bad relationship with them because P.C. Gamer is lose sleep over this because it's a bit shit that they always release the PC version a year later, which means I am going have to buy a console to play this game like I did Red Dead Redemption two where I bought an Xbox Series S when it came out on release day, finished the game and then sold the Xbox on eBay. So meanwhile, console players are sitting back with popcorn enjoying the show. The real question is why is Rockstar so scared of just saying yes to releasing on PC? Probably because the PC modders will break the game before launch. And if it's just fucking rockstar every time, we always suffer as PC gamers. I mean, fortunately GTA used to be a PlayStation exclusive and then it moved over to PlayStation and Xbox and finally a PC as well. That being said, I think Grand Theft Auto two was on the PC and one. and PlayStation but they used to release on PC and then suddenly became PlayStation only. When I think it Grand Theft Auto three. 

 ------ Roblox Child Protection ------  2:48

Anyway moving on. Roblox is kind of growing up um the digital babysitter for millions of kids is putting some serious restrictions on social hangouts. goodbye chaotic online playgrounds and hello. Slightly more controlled chaos. And this is pretty bad because I did have a bit of a scary moment the other day with my daughter because someone was asking how old she was on on the chat thing. And unnecessary because no one needs to know how old she is in Roblox. So she so yeah, have to really teach my kids about cyber safety, hopefully this means for parents that they'll be wiping tears of joy off their keyboards. But even so, Roblox, of course, gets name dropped in an S.E.C. investigation, which is not exactly the flex they were hoping for. So what does it mean, this corporate drama, incoming potential lawsuits, maybe even a dramatic courtroom scene where a lawyer shouts, Your Honor, my client is just a bunch of blocky avatars. So we'll see where this mess goes. So good for Roblox for putting some serious restrictions on those chat rooms, but bad because they're having an FCC investigation done. So yeah, not very positive for the ROBLOX team. 

Anyway, Nintendo Switch two, they gave a microscopic, nearly invisible update on the switch 2 pricing and demand. Basically, people want it and they know it and they're keeping the price info locked up like the secret krabby patty formula I had a Krabby Patty at Wendy's was really nice actually. It wasn't a fish burger. So they like to obviously Nintendo like to keep these things mysterious, but at the point the fans are starting to look like crazed conspiracy theorists connecting red String between leaked patents and wild speculation. Is it going to be $400, $500 a full month's rent? Who knows? The only thing we do know is that the second preorders go live. The Internet will crash, scalpers will rise, and the cycle of Nintendo fandom will continue. if the price is good, a lot of people will buy this console. And that's the worrying thing, is that with console prices the way they are. They can't justify a price tag. That's the PlayStation five, because the PlayStation five is a powerhouse versus what's coming out on the switch, which is going to be good, but it's not going to be good as a PlayStation four, Xbox

 ------ Roller Coaster Tycoon on Switch ------  5:19

Rollercoaster Tycoon Classic is getting a physical release for the switch, so this is perfect for people who still dream about charging $20 for people to piss and also sending coaster cars flying into oblivion. It's a beautiful, chaotic game and now for some reason it's getting a physical edition. Doesn't really make sense, but of course we'll buy it. So expect a sudden rise in pixelated theme park disasters and thousands of people realising they actually suck at managing money while running a theme park. Loved this game. Roller Coaster Tycoon is one of the old favourites I've had and the Planet Coaster doesn't play the second one because it's had really bad reviews. But we'll see. Maybe then we'll play the second one at some point. 

 ------ PSN Outage ------  6:10

We all know that there was a PSN outage not too long ago and some PlayStation users are getting flashbacks to 2011 with of course, Sony is being as transparent as mud. Nothing to see here, they say, but some customers aren't buying it. And of course, you can't blame them because Sony has a history of keeping their lips sealed when things go sideways. So are they covering up a security fuck up or is it just routine maintenance gone wrong? course, either way, people want answers and Sony needs to give us those answers because the last time people found out, they were not happy. But anyway, that's enough of the news, 

 ------ Sniper Elite Resistance ------  7:10

So moving on to sniper elite resistance and is a masterclass in how to fuck up a franchise. So where do we even start with this one? Sniper elite resistance is like the gaming equivalent of a microwaved lasagna from a petrol station. Cheap, uninspired, and likely to leave you feeling regretful. Right. Let this fucking fuck up. Let's talk about the levels.if you've played Sniper 4, you're going to have some serious deja vu because I shit you not. They straight up recycled the maps, slapping Germans off a bridge. Been there, done that. Sniper Elite Italy called and wants its missions back. And that's not all. The voice acting or lack thereof is bad when the only sound in a dramatic cuts in is a grunt for a rap from a random German soldier as planes fly overhead. he's looking through his binoculars and he literally points at the planes. He doesn't say anything because

it's just comical in a game that's supposed to be serious feels like they couldn't even be asked to hire a voice actor. So they just had one guy in the office make grunt noises into a mike. But like I'm doing so they could have used my voice. There it is. One more time. You can put that in the game. Now, the A.I. moving on to this. Oh, AI. I remember when I was this bad. I'm pretty sure it was on the PlayStation one or PlayStation two, because how hard is it when you've had some good games to really fuck this up? You can literally sprint up to an enemy, stand in front of them, wave, do a little dance, and maybe, just maybe, they'll turn around and notice you 5 minutes later when they do. Half the time they'll miss their shots anyway. It's like someone programmed them. Using a potato is absolutely ridiculous. And I shit you not for a sniper game to be able to run. Run with a machine gun. Mowing everyone down quite easily is gobsmacking. And then there's the movement mechanics. So if suddenly the main character's is climbing lines like he's Laura fucking Croft. This is supposed to be a tactical shooter, not an uncharted knockoff. Nothing screams realism like watching a hardened sniper turn into a jungle gymnast mid mission. I swear I half expected him to start wall running. And another achievement the game somehow manages to do is the gunplay is somehow both janky and unsatisfying, making each kill feel less like a calculated sniper shot and more like a poorly executed carnival game. The weapons feel weightless. The bullet physics are all over the place. And let's not even mention the laughable stealth mechanics. I tried sneaking into a Nazi base only to realize that standing directly in front of a soldier didn't register a suspicious behavior until I literally shot his friend next to him. And did I also mention that weapon customization is not there anymore to the point where it used to be? So that's gone. So thank you. Rebellion, for that. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love the sniper elite franchise. Up until sniper elite zombies. I have enjoyed all of them. And I wanted to like this game and I tried to like this game, but by the third level, I wasn't stopped by difficulty. I was stopped by sheer fucking boredom. The pacing is a mess. The mission design is more repetitive than an Ubisoft open world checklist. And the only real challenge is trying to stay awake while playing it. I'd rather watch paint dry than finish this garbage fire. It's a real shame because sniper elite used to be solid, but here they really, really fucked it up. It's as if they took everything people loved about the series and threw it into a bin so they can make a half assed budget tier cash grab. So if you're thinking about playing sniper resistance, don't go replay sniper Elite four instead. At least then you won't feel like you've wasted your life. final verdict. This game is shockingly shit for what it's supposed to be. 

Though all this bad news. Another game that has recently released is Kingdom Come Deliverance two. And going from playing less than 10 hours in sniper elite to actually probably less than five. Kingdom Come Deliverance currently clocks at 64 hours and I haven't fully finished the game yet. Even though some streamers are on like their third or fourth playthrough. I don't. I don't have time to finish this game's such a big game. But anyway, let's dive in to the medieval madness that is Kingdom Come Deliverance two. This game is a roller coaster of brutality, humor and sheer unforgiving gameplay that'll have you cursing and laughing in equal measure. 

A noble start. Or so you think you kick off as a noble knight in all shiny armor and lofty ideals. But hold your horses literally within the first hour. Your pervy tendencies lead you to spy on some bathing maidens. Classic move, right? Except while you're indulging your inner creep, your entire troop gets slaughtered. And talk about instant karma. And don't worry, this is pretty much spoiler free. It's only going to be the first hour of gameplay that might be spoilt. You've still got well over 60 hours and plus And if that's not enough, you then head over to a medieval castle where literal shit gets thrown in your Lord's face. So welcome to Bohemia, where the Middle Ages are as unforgiving as your ex on a bad day. And by the way, that all happens in just the tutorial. And then you get thrown to the wolves in nothing but your underwear. Because after the tutorial, the game strips you down to your skivvies and basically says, Fuck off. Good luck not dying. And when you think I've got a sword, I can handle this wrong. The first bandit you encounter doesn't just kill you. He tells you a new asshole. Multiple new ones, actually. You'll be reloading. Saves more times than you did in Baldur's Gate three when the dice hated you. But the game offers a smorgasbord of morally questionable activities. Want to smother a noble in their sleep, rob them blind and leave their balls dangling in the wind. Go for it. I know I do. And I love it. Feel like butchering a man's dog, telling him you did it and then feeding the meat to your own mutt. Why not? Because that's what I did, too. I'm literally just reiterating what I've done in this game, and it makes me feel like an asshole. But I love it. And speaking of your dog, he's about as useful as a screen door on a submarine. Couple of hits, and he's off running with the tail between his legs. And thanks for nothing, And his name is Mutt. But one of the great game mechanics here is the suspicion, because it usually equals screwed if you act even slightly suspicious and the town folks will be on you faster than a Karen on a manager. But get ready to cry with laughter because the humor is on point, though. Can someone explain why a maid in in medieval Europe sounds like she's from Jamaica? Because some of the voices were clearly AI generated. But honestly, that adds to the game's quirky charm. And if you're trying to rob places and someone sees you sneaking around outside and you go and rob someone, you will be blamed for stealing even though no one saw you. So you literally have to sneak into a town without anyone seeing you Rob places and then get out. In terms of bugs, there are a few. Of course, it's a huge game, but nothing game breaking. And yes, you can skyrim your horse over some rocks defying the laws of physics, which I love to do. And let's not forget the gambling. A dice game. This is addictive, as is infuriating. I am utter rubbish at it, but I can't stop playing and it takes fucking ages to finish a game. The world itself is ridiculously immersive with NPCs actually reacting to your actions in meaningful ways. Try walking into town covered in blood and see how many people suddenly decide you're a menace. The swordplay is unforgiving but rewarding, forcing you to think like a real medieval warrior instead of just button mashing your way through fights. And that also comes down to stealth because you have normal armor and you have stealth armor if you're wearing normal armor. They can hear you jingling all the way down the corridor. But if you're wearing stealth armor, it's the complete opposite. You can literally sprint past them, skipping, screaming and everything. One of the great charms of the game is you can do missions however you want to do them. And the economy is brutal. It doesn't matter where you go. So in the beginning you have fuck all money. And when you think you have enough, you then move on to a bigger city and you have nowhere near enough. You can't afford anything. So if you want that fancy sword, a suit of armor, you better be ready to grind steel or hustle. Money isn't just handed to you, and everything from the weapons to your clothes needs upkeep. So you have to either go to cobblers, blacksmiths, armor's, tailors to get your kit repaired. But also the blacksmith thing is great because you actually partake in it. I won't spoil too much, but you literally make the swords and it's great fun. And so is alchemy. Takes a while, but that's good as well. Very immersive RPG. So if you thought Dark Souls made you work for Victories, Kingdom Come Deliverance two makes you work just to stay alive. So in conclusion, Kingdom Come Deliverance two is a brutal, hilarious and thoroughly engaging action RPG. I haven't enjoyed a game this much since The Witcher three, and that's saying something. It's a fantastic start to 2025 in gaming, assuming we all pretend sniper resistance never happened, which is unfortunate that it even released. So yeah. Kingdom come. Deliverance is probably up for game of the year already Yes, Grand Theft Auto 6 will release, but I think it releases too late to be considered for game of the year because I think they're September early October. But if GTA six doesn't make the cut for it this game I think will. So it's great that they've made such a good game. The DLC that's coming is the first one I think is free and genuinely it's just a great game know, it's not perfect, no game is, but I highly recommend it. I think it's got a 99% rating on Steam and you can play it however you want. So a 100% recommend it. Well, I hope you enjoyed this week's episode. Everybody. Fuck knows what I'm going to talk about next week because I'm still playing Kingdom Come Deliverance. And I don't know if I'll finish it in time, obviously Civilization seven that released on the 11th of February. But I'm not a big civilization fan, but I might give it a go. But I'm looking forward to like a Dragon Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii. And as well as two point museum. So the same people who made two point hospital and to point you what is at the university one. So there are a few good games coming this month And then of course, I think Assassin's Creed comes out next month. Hopefully that's not too much of a disaster, but who knows? Well, I mean, can it be as bad as sniper Elite resistance? For the price. Sniper resistance charged. if they'd just charge like a DLC price of, like, £5, that would have been fine. But anyway, I digress. And hopefully I will have finished Kingdom Come Deliverance two, and we'll have something else in the pipeline. So until the next episode, everyone be safe and enjoy gaming
