Read Only Memories: Neurodiver

While installing Read Only Memories: Neurodiver, I took a moment to go back over my thoughts for the original 2064: Read Only Memories. A game that underwent a hellish cycle of re-releases and public scrutiny, there were so many things I enjoyed, namely the world, the style, and the soundtrack. The divisive nature of the protagonist, the rambling gameplay, and the rather self-satisfied tonality of nearly every NPC tainted the overall flavor, though, and left me feeling it had potential but no...

Fans of 2064: Read Only Memories already have this game purchased. For everyone else, Read Only Memories: Neurodiver is a fantastic slice of pixelated cyberpunk world building, characters, and storyline. Some control choices don't translate as well to controller as they could, but that doesn't stand in the way of the good time that Neurodiver offers.

Read Only Memories: NEURODIVER provides a fantastic futuristic experience that we were all too eager to dive into. While we would have appreciated more runway with its brief tale, ES88’s hunt for the Golden Butterfly is well worth a trip down memory lane.

Neurodiver, except for its length, is about what I expected. The art, writing, and music are top notch. The storyline is engaging, exciting, and all the other ‘e’ adjectives. I truly love the world that’s been created here and added to, thanks to Neurodiver. As I mentioned earlier I hope this results in a series of games being released or at least more games being released instead of long waits between short games.

Read Only Memories: Neurodiver dials down the puzzles but dials up the graphics and charm by  making ES88 a wonderful lead in an engrossing storyline that feels far too short for its own good.

Read Only Memories: Neurodiver is a game that wears it's influences on it's sleeve, from corny 90s anime dubs to slick sci-fi and even Mexican culture. It's all worn and shown off so proudly that the resulting mix is loud, proud, and unforgettable. I just wish that it was so much longer, because I already miss my time in Neo-San Francisco.

Read Only Memories: NEURODIVER is the long-awaited sequel to 2064: Read Only Memories – originally scheduled for release in 2020, and now finally hitting the virtual shelves. Billed as a “Psy-Fi” Adventure, you play as a psychic agent who can dive into peoples’ memories with the help of a bio-engineered squid-like creature named the Neurodiver. The premise is compelling, and the world is ripe for exploration – but sadly, this game can’t quite make good on its promise.

3/10

A beautiful picture book with an intriguing mechanic that devolves into flavourless surface-level commentary of consent, character, and childlike curiosities.

Unscored

A neo-noir adventure with an overly kooky cast and an obsession with video game references.
