XIII - comic shooter
I played the demo. Not only is there stunningly stylish graphics, but also the gameplay is excellent - which is only the first chase, when the hero is chased by bandits on a helicopter and on a boat. And the interactivity is such that Deus Ex starts smoking on the sidelines - you can use any object. For example, hit the enemy in the head with a chair. Or a bottle. Or something else that is badly screwed on.
In general, we are waiting for the full version with great impatience.

At one time, this game, except for visuals, could not boast of anything. A very mediocre jester, and in some places completely dull.
but you could knock people out with chairs 
Visually - for its time, the game is very nice, but the gameplay - not too exciting, one-time walker.
For me, XIII brings a lot of warm memories from my personal life.
Formation of your own gaming, musical, cinema addictions
First love, first hatred, youthful maximalism and rebellion against the values ​​imposed by society.
And what amazing games came out that autumn 2003 along with XIII.
Prince of Persia: Sands of Time; Beyond Good and Evil; Max Payne 2; Silent Hill 3; The Simpsons Hit & Run.
I agree that XIII was not the most outstanding game, but pleasant nostalgia for the times in which it came out has already convinced me to buy a remaster on the first day of sales
As a child, I read about her in a magazine and became interested, but then I could not get it 
Remember what kind of magazine it was.

Based on the Amazon page, the limited edition XIII Remake includes a copy of the game, a steelbook, art cards, and a set of weapon skins.
There are also new screenshots with updated graphics on the page. Initially, the game was supposed to be released in November 2019, but it was decided to postpone it - no specific reasons for this were then named.
Remake XIII will be released on PS4, Xbox One, Switch and PC. The new trailer is set to be shown at IGN's Summer of Gaming show.

How does he reload the pump-action shotgun so quickly that the spent cartridges practically do not have time to fly off each other?

In the October trailer for the XIII remake, various weapons were shown for the game's protagonist, Thirteen. So, he will have access to a .44 Magnum revolver, an M16 assault rifle, a double-barreled gun, a grenade launcher, knives, a harpoon and a crossbow.
The thirteenth will also be able to use a variety of equipment, including a lock-pick and a microphone to eavesdrop on opponents' conversations.
Interestingly, they turned off the blood for the YouTube trailer or it basically won't be?
On November 10, the XIII remake was released. The players were horrified by the novelty. On the Steam service, the project has only 11% of positive reviews. Players complain about horrible animations, poor sound, weak shooting physics, poor optimization, poor AI of opponents, a huge number of bugs, broken stealth, clipped levels and much more.

It's good that I went through the original XIII in the summer. I was pleasantly surprised.

Shooter XIII is remembered by many with warmth - for the 2003 game, the comic style looked like a revelation. But, judging by the first eyewitness reviews, it is better not to touch the XIII remake: now it is storming the bottom of Steam in terms of the share of negative reviews.
As of this writing, the Valve store has a humiliating 9% rating for the remake (based on 316 reviews). In the most popular reviews, only one praise comes across: they say, the light looks good at times. The rest is solid cons:
Sound problems - sometimes it disappears completely, sometimes the music stutters or even turns into some kind of noise. Very bad ragdoll - opponents fall to the ground in the same way, no matter what they do. The multiplayer is only local, but there are no bots there. Some people write that many maps and modes of the original are missing in the remake's multiplayer. There are fewer comic inscriptions in the spirit of "Tra-ta-ta" when shooting. Poor mouse sensitivity. Gamepad support crashes. AI is not a threat even at high difficulty. There are a lot of weird changes in the cutscenes that make them feel worse than the original. Many little things have disappeared. For example, in the original, at the Brighton Beach level, it was possible to blow up a helicopter earlier than expected, which facilitated further passage. This nuance is absent in the remake. The remake showered the player with various problems in the very first minutes after launch.9% of reviews on Steam is enough to claim the title of one of the worst games in the history of the service (at least among those projects that more than one and a half people know about). The top lowest rated games can be viewed on the Steam 250 website.
True, Steam 250 allocates places according to its own algorithm, which takes into account not only the rating from users, but also the number of votes. Then a mathematical formula is used to "weight" the value of the data. And already according to the results of "weighing" the places are indicated. Steam 250 is updated once a day.
Formally, the XIII remake has not yet made it to the top of the worst according to Steam 250, but there is every chance! Now the bottom looks like this (in brackets - the percentage of reviews on Steam):
Flatout 3: Chaos & Destruction (13%). Uriel's Chasm (36%). Command & Conquer 4: Tiberian Twilight (17%). Kinetic Void (18%). Spacebase DF-9 (18%). GASP (21%). YouTube VR (19%). RollerCoaster Tycoon World (25%). Sacred 3 (23%). Godus (26%).
