"Captivating"
Inspired by the Belgian comic, the game transposes the ink, the flat colours and the panels right down to the onomatopoeia that burst onto the screen. This nervous cel-shading freezes the action into genuine animated pages of perfect readability. A rare gamble in the FPS, this style made history and keeps a unique cachet.

Is XIII - Daitouryou o Koroshita Otoko still worth playing in 2026?
An FPS from Ubisoft adapted from the comic, XIII casts an amnesiac caught in a state conspiracy, in a cel-shading art direction reproducing the comic's line with onomatopoeia bubbles and panels on screen. The unique graphic style, the conspiracy thriller mood and the polished voice acting make it a work apart. The conventional gunfights and a dated AI weigh on it. A striking title for fans of FPS with a strong style and of comics brought to the screen on Xbox.
