XIII

released on Nov 10, 2020

A remake of XIII

A remake of the XIII game from 2003. The game is a first-person shooter where you play as Thirteen, a talented soldier who lost his memory and has been accused of killing the President of the United States. You first wake up injured and amnesic on Brighton Beach with the only clue being a small key and a mysterious tattoo XIII next to your clavicle. It’s now your job to search for answers through a 34 levels solo campaign. Don’t worry, you will find the appropriate weapon arsenal along the way. With questions not missing, neither are the bullets!

Entertaining to finish but pretty mediocre overall, apparently it got fixed and it was unplayable before. In general the game feels extremely easy but with some cheap moments for you to fail a couple of times. Story was a bit of a mess but level variety was okey

I'm sure the game was atrocious on launch, but it seems fixed now as I had no issues.

That being said, it's a pretty looking, very generic shooter. It's super short, so doesn't really overstay its welcome

Whether or not it plays better than the 2020 release, I can't say because I didn't play this remake when it first came out.

With that said...son, what the hell is this?

Now, I loved the original and was initally excited for this when it was announced. After hearing it was a shitshow on launch, I gave it a miss. Then I heard the PS5 version had been given some extra much needed dev time so I bought it on a sale and honestly thought it was a good remake. Still far from perfect but the visuals had been sharpened up and I didn't experience any glitches or bugs. If you're in a similar situation to me, it might be worth checking this out again if you have the chance.
