As a Memory Hunter, Nilin has many abilities. One of her abilities stands out among the rest. Nilin has the ability to enter the memories of others, and alter the situation to create an alternate result. Now, I won’t even go into how this is similar to time travel or the ramifications it can have on the space-time continuum. I will leave that to a Doctor Who episode. When in another person’s memory, Nilin can alter specific instances to change the outcome. It can be as simple as knocking over a needle to loosening a restraint on a hospital bed. While this mode is a bit linear and Nilin can only interact with predetermined objects, it is still a blast. It is just disappointing that the game only uses this ability four times in the entire game.
Memory Remixes are unique and great to play.
Remember Me is a great game with amazing potential. The presentation is amazing and the main theme song will stay with you long after you turn off your system of choice. The story is fun to explore and presents interesting ideas and concepts on the concept of memory and control. It is disappointing that the gameplay and lack of exploration bring this game down. While the Memory Remixes are fun, they are to far between to make a difference in the quality of the gameplay. Remember Me may release under the radar, but we hope that it sells enough to warrant a sequel. We would love to experience the next step in Nilin’s journey and Neo-Paris on next generation consoles.
Score: 7 / 10
