Remember Me is a Sci-Fi Action-Adventure which developed by Dontnod Entertainment, and published by Capcom. It was originally a PS3 exclusive titled Adrift in year 2010, when the project was on under development, but it was cancelled in 2011, before Capcom provided the funding for project as the muiltiplatform title, which is already released on June 7th 2013. So lets review this game, shall we.
This game take place on year 2084, in Paris. The story is about Nilin, who had been imprisoned in the Bastille Fortress, managed to escape from Memorize Corporation who are trying to wipe out her last memory.With the help of Edge as leader of the Errorists commanding her to destroy Memorize Corporation to save people from getting amnesia.
I say the story sound quite weak and uninteresting at all with boring plot, underwhelming cutscenes and some crappy dialogue. The character like Nilin are quite decent while others characters are seems to be forgettable and unappealing.
The gameplay features platforming, exploration and melee combat, including memory remixing. The control scheme plays ok'ay for character's movement which is good for platforming in some levels, when you climb any obstacles on different platform of the levels, but I find the melee combat plays quite slow and repetitive which is harder to perform any fighting moves. The fighting moves has certain of the combos moves called Pressens which allows players to create and customise the combo moves through the combo lab options and you can even unlocking the new moves as well. The four Pressens are "Regen" which increases the health, "Power" gives enemies high damage hit, "Chain" which doubling your previous moves and "Cooldown" which increases your S-Pressens energy. These are the Pressens can be helpful for your character's performance, when you perform combo moves by pressing the right combination of each button, which it feels too slow to perform attack moves to receive the Pressens.
The special moves is not that bad. You can use "S-Pressens" moves to do things like stun enemies, performing moves at high speed and land more hits, or turn hostile robots into allies which self-destruct themselves. You can use projectile weapons, like "Spammer and "Junk Bolt" which is quite handy to use it in some levels, but it feels too clunky, when using for aiming mode. The memory remixing sounds really interesting, when gaining access to character's memory. You can remixing their memory by using rewind, forward and activate to rearranging the target memories to manipulate them. Your goals is to replaying a memory and modifying details to change target's recollection of the outcome. You can also steal people's memory from certain targets and using points called remembranes which proceed through the game or avoiding hazards. I say the gameplay overall is quite mediocre, compared to Batman: Arkham City has way much playable gameplay than this.
The graphics seems have great characters design, nice visuals, smooth animation and some good lighting backgrounds and textures which did a good job that the game engine is just capable of having decent graphics.
The music and sounds has good sci-fi soundtrack, amazing sound effects for backgrounds and atmosphere, and good voice acting for characters which is big thumb ups for this game.
The special features has unlockable artwork, 3D models and gallery to check out and it has downloadable content as well, which it didn't have enough feature choices for this game.
Advantages
Decent female protagonists.
Good graphics.
Great music and sounds.
Cool memory remixing.
Disadvantages
Mediocre combat gameplay
Weak storyplot and dialogue.
Other characters are forgetable.
Short episode.
Boring boss fights.
Final Verdict
Here is the bottom line.
Gameplay 6.2/10 - The character's movements are quite ok'ay for platforming and exploration, even the cool memory remixing, but I say combat gameplay is feel slow and repetitive for combo moves and projectile weapons.
Graphics 7.5/10 - The graphics have great characters design, nice visuals, smooth animation and some good lighting backgrounds and textures.
Music and sounds 7/10 - It has good sci-fi soundtrack, amazing sound effects for backgrounds and atmosphere, and good voice acting for characters.
Special Features 4/10 - It has unlockable artwork, 3D models, gallery and downloadable content which is not enough features choices.
Overall 6/10 - I'm not saying this game is terrible.This game has good female protagonists, impressive graphics, decent soundtrack, and even memory remixing are quite cool. I say the gameplay and story needs more bit of improving to make the game playable. Of course the game is too short which only takes about 1-2 days to complete. It's best for you to rent this game.
