Player 2 takes on this remastered version of the cult spy shooter XIII and finds that some things should stay in the past.
“XIII is a linear first-person shooter with a neat graphical style that offers simple fun akin to a game that belongs in an arcade. However, FPS veterans may be put off due to its linearity and general lack of depth.” - Mary Billington from Video Chums.
Being a remake of the 2003 game of the same name, XIII launched in November 2020 to an overwhelming assault of negative reviews - Author: Kyle Doherty for Game Hype UK.
Popularized by Doom in 1993 and still making video game haters gnash their teeth today, first-person shooter games are the best thing to happen to gamers since pizza rolls. So here are 15 underrated first-person shooter games you may have missed.
Although the late 2000s Turok wasn't my favorite, I would love a new entry. Open world survival with shotguns and dinosaurs. Not sure how we'd get the fusion cannon, but that would be pretty sweet too.
Lol
All of these games are pretty much universally praised. Outside of Timeshift I literally own all of these.
XIII, The Darkness 2, Far Cry: Blood Dragon, Timesplitters: future perfect, Bulletstorm are awesome games
I played them all, they are all good in their own way
I used to be obsessed with FPS games
This game has never reviewed well even back then. I don’t get where the cult following came from.
If they wanted a cult spy game, shoulda gone Golgo 13. Test the waters ala Bionic Commando: Rearmed.
