Pro: No tinkering needed to run this game on Linux using Lutris with standard wine configurations From technical perspective flawless, I was able to complete the game in around 8hours with absolutely no technical issue graphics still quite unique with the comic kind of look Con: to the gameplay itself: better stick to the original, follow the reviews :D I am a huge fan of the original game (quote kendray review: I LOVE XIII), still have a DVD version at home as well as owning it on gog. Despite all the negative comments I still bought the remake on discount - well I knew what was coming There are so many issues with the gameplay, where to start? - within each level after loading screen, the guns and ammunition are reduced to random selection(?), why did I collect them anyway? - opponent AI is laughable, stealth sections still suck - the video sequences are so damn boring, for some levels I don't even know why I am here - the original makes that much better
As long as nobody notices you, it sometimes really feels like being a sniper. But there is a mission approx. 2 hours after start, where you have to stay on a tower hitting a group of people. After the first shot - everybody - knows where you are and hits perfectly. From their perspective they wouldn't see much more than a little bump on top of the tower. But they hit, and hit, and hit. This also happens any other level, when you are supposed to be visible, even when you aren't. Stopped playing and deleted after that mess. I thought I give that series a try but the first game is not worth the name sniper... Even not the one from the old B movie..
Möglichkeiten die Umgebung zu zerstören bieten sich im Spielverlauf immer weniger. Stattdessen ballert man sich durch immer die gleichen Horden von Gegnern, in meinem Fall war nach 3h37min schon Schluss (medium). Anfangs echt noch lustig verkommt es zum Ende leider zum Moorhuhn. Der Endkampf ist ein wahrer Endkrampf, seid gewarnt :-)
