    XIII is a fantastic remake. Its simple approach, distinctive style, and interesting missions make this a captivating experience. Furthermore, you can choose your approach and tackle each level how you wish.

    XIII (Remake) is not a recommended title at this time. The game has many bugs that will affect the final experience, so it is advisable to wait for PlayMagic to release the announced patch.

    Microids and PlayMagic delivered what looks like an unfinished game, with many bugs hindering the story progression and other problems like the bad enemy A.I., leaving just the original plot and the good cel-shaded graphics as the only positives.

    You can easily imagine a world where the XIII remake is a success, but sadly this isn’t that world. Broken is about the nicest thing that can be said about this remaster that is somehow worse than the original.

    At first glance, XIII looks like a video game. It has graphics, sounds come out of the speakers, and a character moves when you touch the pad. But sit down to play it, and you’ll realise that it’s held together with sticky tape and paper clips, collapsing into scraps when you play for more than five minutes.

    Difficult to recommend.

    PlayMagic's XIII may get better after several patches, but right now it's a broken, buggy mess that plays like a generic shooter and looks worse than the 2003 original. If you really want to play XIII, go play that instead.
