Not a new game (2013) but I’m still blown away by the design and graphics of this French Cyberpunk world.

I really wanted to write some lines about it in case some of you missed it !

I’m not afraid to say that it is for me a masterpiece game in term of cyberpunk universe/story and marvellous artwork.

Special addiction because I know very well the place : the city of Paris (or Neo-Paris in the game)

Definitely be remembered!

About the Game

Remember Me is third person action adventure game developed by French studio DONTNOD Entertainment and published by Capcom.

Remember Me was released on the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC June 4, 2013

Story

Neo-Paris, 2084. 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. Arrested in “La Bastille” fortress prison, and with her memory wiped clean Nilin must now set out on a mission to rediscover her identity.

In Remember Me, the corporation Memorize has found a way to digitize memories, turning them into a commodity that can be bought and sold. The ability to buy and sell memories has turned Memorize into the most powerful corporation in the world and made memory sharing the most addictive commodity on the market.

Music

The music is also very good and immersive. Epic, action based, electronic like..

Gameplay

Straight to the point: Combat and Parkour sessions are just OK. To my personal opinion it is definitely not the most interesting part of this game. Nilin uses combat abilities called Pressens to defeat her enemies. Combat in Remember Me consists of unlocking a series of predetermined combo chains.

In Parkour sessions you just have one way to reach point A to B. Definitely not Parkour if you know this art ;p

The game is way too linear also. We are so get used to “Open world” game now..It is very frustrating because the world is so beautifully designed!

So What’s cool?

Memories Remix

One of the feature of Remember Me is Nilin’s ability to go inside someone’s head and remix their memories. This is called memory remixing and involves looking at a specific memory event and changing the outcome to get the desired result. As a player you have to help Nilin to search for memory glitches in some character’s memories. She Then you alter these glitches to use them to slightly alter the individual’s perception of what happened.

Remembrane

Nilin has the ability to steal memories from certain characters and play them back. The Remembrane is activated when Nilin steals a memory and has to get to or past a certain area. The Remembrane shows the individual recounting of a certain event which allows Nilin to see what they did to enter a room with an access code or get past hidden obstacles.

Conclusion

Finally even if the game is too linear I loved it! I loved the universe the graphic and music experience more than the game itself I think 🙂

So why not make a animated series about it ?
