Portion used

Full screenshot to show as much information as possible

Low resolution?

High enough resolution to read the UI, low enough to comply with WP:NFU.

Purpose of use

Section. The image is used for identification in the context of critical commentary of the work for which it serves as screenshot. It makes a significant contribution to the user's understanding of the article, which could not practically be conveyed by words alone. The image is placed at the beginning of a section discussing the work, to help the user quickly identify the work and know they have found what they are looking for. To showcase the games graphics and gameplay mechanics in the article dedicated to the game. Use for this purpose does not compete with the purposes of the original artwork, namely the creator providing graphic design services to relevant concerns and video game marketing to the public. 

Replaceable?

As a screenshot, the image is not replaceable by free content; any other image that shows the packaging of the item in question would also be copyrighted, and any version that is not true to the original would be inadequate for identification or commentary. Using a different image would be misleading as to the identity of the work.  Replacing a screenshot from a video game with a free version from the same video game is impossible
