Remember Me (2013)

Remember Me is a technically accomplished and very stylish action adventure. The sci fi story about meaning of memories is interesting. [June 2013]

Remember Me is a great action game, with a lot of smart ideas and an extremely inspired art direction. A clunky combat system keeps it from excellence though.

Remember Me isn’t a bad long weekend’s entertainment if you’re willing to give its world a chance to draw you in, but it really just isn’t enough of a game for me to give it an unqualified recommendation.

Because Remember Me has moments of novel brilliance. The Memory Remix segments aren't particularly challenging, or even puzzles in the real sense. They're more a fun way of tinkering with things, and seeing what happens. They do work perfectly well as a narrative device, and a change in pace. The combat system, which might appear strategically moribund to anyone with long experience of gaming, develops constantly throughout the game, which helps prevent you from becoming bored.

Remember Me is a product where the effort made in creating a fascinating and credible world has taken away all the rest. Audio and graphics are stunning, unfortunately the game is not.

Remember Me is a game filled with ambition it doesn’t quite reach. Protagonist Nilin is a strong, interesting female lead carrying a good story through the entire game.

Remember Me is nothing more than an entirely forgettable tour de farce of archaic game design. Its horrific dialogue, sickening camera and regressive combat are major blips in a title that poses one major question: was this game worth releasing? ‘Dontnod’ is arguably the right answer.

men, this is a really classic masterpiece i bought yesterday for my 360 and thats graphics are soooo niiiiiceeeee i love the history the mechanic fight combo style like a old school video game fighting . we need remember me 2 for xbox one f¨¨ïng love it top on my fav games ever!

Remember me is a very interesting game. The graphics are good characters are very interesting. The Map is very pretty. why did I give it an average score? I feel like the combo system in-game was terribly designed. It's cool being able to customize the Combo system. During a boss fight that required aspecific ability, I found the game defaulting my Combos back to a set I didn't want. I could never get the cool down to work. After I switched it, the cool down messed with my ability to quickly heal. Furthermore when you get lowon health the screen starts glitching out. This is very annoying as it makes it hard to see Furthermore you have a visible health on the side at all times. Other then that I thought the game was really fun although I also found the chapter 4 boss to be incredibly annoying.

The game is good, I should have played this 7 years ago but sadly I first do it now, so don't be like me and go play it

This was the one game that I was looking forward to this year besides Watch_Dogs. I'm generally an avid fan of new titles and go through the ropes of trying out each one in hopes of supporting new ideas instead of supporting the same Call of Duty 9000, Grand Theft Auto 200, and other games that are beginning to repeat into boredom. I put time into my games before I judge them and Remember Me is just one game that should have been kept in development for a while longer. Since the first chapter I was enraptured into the world it was presenting, and though the story started out with the classic amnesia scene that has annoyed since the dawn of video games, I still went through with it. However, as time went on, I found myself annoyed by the constant camera changes and sluggish button commands. I even swapped out for my controller that I barely use just to make sure it wasn't wear on the buttons, but I was still attempting to hit the "A" key to jump a ledge and found my character falling to their death due to unresponsive controls. That was fine. All games have their hiccups, and camera conflict was in Enslaved which I absolutely loved. So I trudged on. It wasn't until the first boss fight that I really felt myself getting annoyed. I found myself highly aware of the fact that the dodge button would only evade some hits and then leave you open for others of the same combo. It was annoying to say the least, as I play every game on the hardest difficulty, to die over and over again as the dodge button set me up to get hit and die or trying to outmaneuver without the dodge function only to have the camera focus off the boss and get me hit or killed from not being able to see. The second boss fight was much the same and has me longing that I never picked up the game and instead kept in my mind the image of amazing game play that I had dreamed of since the game was revealed. It's a shame, really, as this game had so much potential and I'm sure its only downfall was the lack of a polish run before release. Or at the very least a targeting system. I will keep playing through. Maybe the game will rub off on me but seeing as I only have a couple chapters left, it looks like I'll be awaiting Watch_Dogs in the fall and the Deus Ex Director's Cut release for the WiiU. Don't buy now. Wait for a price drop. It's definitely a $20 game. Maybe a $30 if you're not tight on money. I, for one, am regretting going against my "No Capcom" rule as I had forgave them when they did a magnificent port over of Monster Hunter onto the WiiU and 3DS.

The gameplay mechanics are pretty good, however the problem is that they rarely utilized. There is no excuse for how little gaming the player actually takes part in. AVOID THIS GAME!
