The remake of XIII also lands on PlayStation 5, and it does so in a version that is finally more than satisfactory.
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.
There still is a good game inside this remaster, even if it hasn’t aged as well as others, but the technical issues make it hard to find.
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.
Ironically, this played
better in 2003. [Issue#183, p.81]
XIII is a disastrous remake that probably never should have been made. The franchise's cult classic status officially has a major blemish in this remake. It's almost impossible to find anything positive to say about it because every aspect is just so broken and bland. If you want to get into the franchise, read the graphic novel but do yourself a favor and avoid this remake at all costs.
Difficult to recommend.
Summary XIII is a remake of the cult first-person action game that was initially released in 2003. 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 ...
