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!

Had high hopes for this one as I really enjoyed the original back in the day but this was just disappointing.
Definitely interesting that they kept the original game mostly intact and upgraded the visuals so they are more modern. Considering the complaints made about the game it would've been the perfect time to make adjustments while making this.
That said I still enjoyed it, can't really adequately explain why haha. The comic book feels is really well done, the plot and conspiracy make little sense but those tend to be the best kind of conspiracies. The gameplay feels like a game of the originals age with new graphics so there's a weird contrast happening. A few random events are also annoying. Like taking out the guards in a camp, having more guards spawn in randomly while you're spying on a meeting and fail the mission because they found a body.
If you played the original and have fond memories I'd recommend giving this a go... When it's on offer really cheap.

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
How NOT to make a remake
oh my god they butchered this...
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
