Before I say anything else, I'd like to apologise for my English as it's not my native language.
With that out of the way, let's get to the game..thank you in advance for your patience!

Imagine a future where your memories can be digitised, stored, erased, shared with those you care for: this is the future Remember Me takes you to.
Sounds inviting, doesn't it? But I'm sure you can see the risk in this.

With access granted to the last remaining haven for personal privacy, corporations gain absolute power over the individual; the abuse of memory trading taints and fades identities.

But not all submit.
A group forms to fight the corporations: they are known as the Errorists, and this is where your journey begins.

Captured and stripped of your memories, you are freed by an unexpected ally and persuaded to rejoin the cause you once fought for, determined to regain your memories and identity.


Now to the gameplay: Remember Me plays as a third person action adventure with some minor platforming, and a melee combat system that borrows from the Batman: Arkham series, not without adding its own taste to it.

It all flows well and never gets overly repetitive, as combos can be customised in order to regain health, deal heavier damage or power special attacks.
Enemy types are sufficiently diverse and can provide a decent challenge in the higher difficulty settings, as you will often adapt your combos to the situation.
Only minor hiccup is the camera, that at times follows at angles that make it hard to have a good visual of the fight.

Platforming is linear, ledges and ladders you can (and must) use are highlighted.
There are collectibles scattered across levels that will grant health or energy improvements, but overall the game is linear; I don't consider this a particular flaw, as the game is story-centered and linearity keeps the plot flowing at a good pace.

The level design is beautiful: Neo Paris is created with meticulous attention to details, and I often found myself stopping to take it all in, or just listen to NPCs discuss about their daily trials and tribulations.

The story is obviously the strong point of the game: if you were intrigued by the premise, moving forward will never feel like a chore and will not fail to catch you off guard more than once. You are in for a treat.

There is one more feature I haven't brought up yet: at set points in the story, a unique power of Nilin will be revealed - you have the ability to enter people's memories. Cool? Very.
Not only that: you also have the power to change them, affecting the present! This is done by interacting with different, set objects in the memory, affecting the end result. This is a great mechanic that I felt should have been fleshed out further. Imagine not having limitations on the remix, with any result you achieve having effect on the story!
Still, it is a very interesting trait that already works well in the state it is given to the player in.

TL,DR: a gripping story, a thought provoking thematic, a setting as beautiful as it is tainted, fun combat and a unique mechanic. If any of it appeals to you, do not hesitate to immerse yourself in the not so distant future Neo Paris.

And if you read this in 2084..
Remember Me.
