You play as "XIII", a man without an identity, in a solo campaign with numerous twists and turns. Inspired by the eponymous graphic novel, the game features a completely reinvented and unique cel-shading design. In XIII, players can also take part in fierce multi-player fights.

    The country remains in a state of shock following the assassination of President Sheridan. You wake up, wounded and with amnesia, on a deserted beach on the east coast. The only clues as to your identity are a tattoo of the number XIII near your collarbone and a locker key. Even though your memory is failing, you discover that you have the reflexes of a highly trained professional fighter. You set off in search of your past, discovering that you played a role in the murder of the President of the United States of America, and revealing the most astounding conspiracy ever hatched in the country's history.    … Expand

    The remake of XIII also lands on PlayStation 5, and it does so in a version that is finally more than satisfactory.

    XIII returns with an opportunity to redeem himself but with performance improvements to be made. If those fringes are finally solved, he will once again enjoy a luxurious opportunity to convince the players who did not do it before and hold more to a thread of hope for the second half.

    This XIII Remake was supposed to allow fans of the original to relive their memories in a way that was suited to modern hardware and gameplay norms. Sadly, this game failed to deliver due to a questionable choice of art-direction, last gen controls and many, many flaws and bugs that hamper the game.

    XIII Remake could well be called a demake as this new version feels a step back from the original game. Littered with bugs, the game is rendered almost unplayable, and we still don't get how it could be released in this state.

    XIII Remake completely disgraces the original game by converting it into fodder for Internet memes. It’s better left to the digital wasteland of unfortunate titles that should have never existed. If you really want to play XIII as it was intended, dust off your old PlayStation 2 (or GameCube or Xbox) and scavenge garage sales for a copy of the game.

    Ironically, this played better in 2003. [Issue#183, p.81]

    Amazing remake of true classic. Art style, music, voice acting, everything is just great.

    Buggy broken, hard crashes...This game is unfinished and it's a shame..
    That being said I still enjoyed this badly built remake over nearly    Buggy broken, hard crashes...This game is unfinished and it's a shame..
    That being said I still enjoyed this badly built remake over nearly every other FPS game I've played this gen.. I personally really loved the visuals and while it has many technical issues, artisticly it often stuning.
    The back to basics gamplay where stealth and action blend is sorry missed I modern FPS.. Gameplay is so cookie cutter and generic these days that the old games are the only way to get inovation and originality.. Really wish they had done better on this remake though, I liked the art and scenery, its just the bugs and broken sections that kills it.    … Expand

    Okay I was a huge fan of the original. Imagine the surprise when 17 years later I still think the original is a better game, bearing in mindOkay I was a huge fan of the original. Imagine the surprise when 17 years later I still think the original is a better game, bearing in mind this was an era of no "day 1 patches" etc. I could go on about the little issues in design and how dated it feels. That's not what I'm focusing on today. The fact that this game is riddled with gamebreaking glitches, audio stuttering, overlapping voice lines, tinny weapon sounds and sometimes no weapon sounds at all frame drops in action sequences, screen tearing and the alternate control scheme not being checked as some of the button inputs are completely wrong (for example the stealth attack is supposed to be R3 but the crouch is bound to R3)
    I'd normally excuse a badly made game because usually theres some charm to be found somewhere, but this is different. This is clearly a unfinished product, that somehow made it past QA. Frankly I find it insulting that
    A) they think they can just sell this as a product.
    B) That they're charging people over £30 for this "game" I want this to be an example to gamers that theres a difference between a game you just dont enjoy, and a badly made game *Cough* The Last of Us 2 *Cough*. I am more than willing to give this another try when they patch (finish) the game, but for now this shouldnt be touched by anyone until the devs fix up.    … Expand
