When concluding Remember Me, it’s easy to think of a “missed opportunity” term, seeing its underdevelopment. However, Nilin’s quest deserves to be seen more as an ambitious effort. There’s a critical nuance in both. Its tropes may feel light, but only because they leave a yearning for much more.
On the plus side, I’d like to end the gameplay section on a positive note, memory remixing is hands down the BEST part of Remember Me, and if there is a sequel (which I sorely hope for), I would LOVE to see more memory remixing segments implemented. Sadly, there are less than a handful of these sequences, which showcases Nilin’s skills as a memory hunter/remixer, and involve the player manipulating memories in order to trick the person they’re enforcing it on to remember things incorrectly or differently. The way this transitions into gameplay is both incredibly fun and memorable, and while they usually resort to trial and error, it was an absolute joy to play one of these segments and see what I had to do to change the memory, and what I did wrong/right. Memory remixing is easily one of the highlights of this game and despite the bland platforming and combat, it’s just refreshing to see that such an original concept is pulled off so well.
Remember Me never comes into its own, but it's an entertaining and attractive adventure all the same.
Set in a cyberpunk vision of Paris where memory is currency, Remember Me is a third-person action-adventure teenager. It badly wants to impress its peers – and you – with its sheer weight of selfconscious stuff. On top of all the conventional action-adventure jumping and running, it throws in stealth sequences, rooftop chases, platforming and a splash of something uniquely its own. Heck, there’s
Remember Me is a third-person action adventure where players take on the role of Nilin, a former elite memory hunter with the ability to break into people's minds and steal or even alter their memories.
The combat is the real diamond in the rough and makes the journey into Neo-Paris completely worthwhile. There are plenty of mistakes, but also a few triumphs. It's hard to recommend rushing out to get this one, as it feels more like a downloadable title due to its short playtime, but I would also be remiss to suggest avoiding it completely. Ultimately, it's an excellent first attempt by DONTNOD Entertainment - and should encourage more than a few gamers to look forward to their next offering.
A fascinating story that stumbles in the parts where you have to actually play it
As it stands, Remember Me is a game that offers about six to eight hours of disposable entertainment that defines pretentiousness and will be forgotten in an inconsequential passage of time.
Remember Me is a likeable, even admirable game that tells a deeply personal story in a thoughtfully-fashioned world populated by richly detailed character models. But ultimately, it failed to challenge or excite me as a game, as all of its best ideas are confined to its overarching fiction rather than its gameplay. I rarely felt like a Memory Hunter except for the few Memory Remix sections. I’d love to spend time in this world sampling its fiction and tasting some of its ideas, but unfortunately I can’t say the same for the game, which is very forgettable.
“Remember Me' presents a beautifully drawn, deeply flawed futureworld that brims with uneven design and unrealized potential.”
A mixture of big ideas and low-rent execution, this is one memory worth forgetting.
Remember Me surprises in many pleasant ways as its fast-paced action beats play out. Although the narrative is perhaps a little predictable in places, it does have a few twists along the way that should be enough to keep you guessing right up to a final, titanic showdown inside a very alien environment.
And that’s the thing. Remember Me suffers when it pushes its design beyond the capabilities of its mechanics, when its gameplay ambitions exceed its capacity to meet them. Most games would falter under the weight of those mechanical complications, and Remember Me eyes trouble the most pointedly when it falls prey to overused video game conventions. But Remember Me’s fiction and world-building make it more than just another running, jumping and climbing-oriented beat-‘em-up — they make it a future worth exploring.
Memories are what define us as a person. They are our past and they shape our future. Our experiences and how we remember them are a big part of the kind of human being we are today. Memories can be meaningful, sad, happy, emotional, soul destroying; they can effectively be whatever we want them to be.
