The value story
The lowest price on record is $1.99, set in November 2024. Its cuts run 80 percent off as a rule. There have been 52 in the 6 years tracked, about 5 weeks apart.
It is pricier than 70 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 99 percent. On the same math Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon® Wildlands ($9.99, scores 51) and Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts ($29.99, scores 28) are the better buys, and they are the games it most resembles.
22 of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written November 2020 to August 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 9 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 1,071 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 67 have a larger share. The typical game sits near 5 in 1,000, so the score docks it. 1 of the 22 refunded reviewers was past Valve's two-hour window when they wrote the review. Inside the two-hour refund window, 20 percent of the 651 reviews written there were positive, against 40 percent overall, and those are 48 percent of everything written about it.
At 6.5 hours it is a handheld-sized game, and Valve rates it Deck Verified.

What players say
It is unfortunately pretty shocking how much worse this remake is compared to the original. -The art style, especially at the canyon, is physically hard to look at. -The game is somehow more buggy and broken than the original, straight up soft locking me by me not being able to do anything except move around. -The comic book cutscenes are replaced with new 3d animated ones ones, which were definitely not done in...
I dont think i can even get myself to finish this remake. Go get the original version instead and download the patch for it.
I recommend only because of heavy nostalgic feeling I have towards XIII original. It was among the first games I played, and this reminded me of some happy times. There are still elements that makes you play it and go for the next level. I like the level design with cell-shaded graphics. The story is #1, it is really a movie worth material. There are sadly many negative sides. There are SOOO many glitches in game...
