Review:

2 in 1: Trash Punk & S.N.I.P.E.R – Hunter Scope, released on Nintendo Switch in 2024, is a Compilation containing the two named games, previously released on Nintendo Switch in 2023 and 2020, respectively.

I have separately reviewed these games. Here is what I thought of each of the games in this collection:

Game	Genre	# of Players	Score
Trash Punk	2-Stick Shooter	1-2 Co-Op (Local)	C
tl;dr Trash Punk is a 2-Stick Shooter where players take the role of an armed anthropomorphic opossum, and while the core gameplay here is good, this game does nothing of note to build on that, making for a tedious, repetitive gameplay experience that can’t compete with the wealth of other great games in the genre on Nintendo Switch.
S.N.I.P.E.R. Hunter Scope	Arcade / On-Rails First-Person Shooter / Third-Person Shooter	1	C+
tl;dr S.N.I.P.E.R. Hunter Scope is a game that looks to bring back the glory days of arcade light gun games like Silent Scope and Time Crisis, and while it does about as good a job at this as one could expect, suffice it to say that the Nintendo Switch’s Joy-Cons aren’t ideal for this sort of motion control, and no matter which of the game’s control options you choose, they all seem to have problems. If you don’t mind wrestling with the controls, you may still find some arcadey enjoyment to be had here, but most will likely find this too frustrating to bother with.

In short, while neither of these two games is bad, I don’t think either of them is especially great either. S.N.I.P.E.R. is probably the better of the two, but this game is unfortunately kept from being something better due to the lacking controls available on Nintendo Switch.

Okay, but this is a bundle, so how does that affect the value? Well, at $20, this will save you $5 off the cost of getting both of these games separately. And since the sale prices for both games and the bundle are all $2, you’re much better off getting the bundle when there’s a sale, since that’s basically “buy one get one free”, a deal good enough that you should get this even if you only want one of these two games… at least, unless one of the other bundles these games are in is paired with another game you want more (and you should check, since there’s a bunch).

In the end, I don’t think this is a bundle to get excited about, but it’s not exactly bad either. If you know you want one or both of these games, it’s better than getting the games on their own. Just don’t expect either of these games to live up to its full potential.

tl;dr – 2 in 1: Trash Punk & S.N.I.P.E.R – Hunter Scope is a Compilation containing the two named games, both different types of games, and while neither is bad, both have issues that keep these games from living up to their full potential. However, if you’re going to get either game, this bundle is a better choice than getting either game on its own.

Grade: C+
