Take charge of Nilin, a memory hunter searching for truth in a world crowded in lies and corruption. This world is Neo-Paris. Enjoy highly detailed and futuristic environments as you jump, climb and run your way through the city; from the seedy underbelly to the wealthy locals. Navigating through Neo-Paris is a blast due to the level of detail in the environments; from restaurants to street markets and nightclubs, it feels like the city is living and breathing. The inability to explore this environment leaves you a bit disappointed. Getting around is quite simple due to the game's linear level design. Although the levels are huge, Nilin is placed on a set path and can rarely explore beyond that path. You will jump, climb and swing your way with ease because it is impossible to get lost. If you miss a collectible, there is no way to retrace your steps in order to retrieve it because doors close behind you and paths are shut off.

Combat is a plus. Nilin can mix and match combos to her liking to create a unique effect such as healing or bonus damage.
The combos are easy to master and anyone can learn them quickly. The combat is free flowing but is easily interrupted by
enemy attacks which are sometimes difficult to dodge. This can be frustrating especially during and long combo. There are
also special "power up" abilities that can be used to change the tide of battle, this is where the combat system shines.
An array of enemies will be at your disposal and you will always unlock and learn new combos which removes some of the repetitive gameplay.

The story is where the game shines, it is excellent and well worth the play-through. A few twists and turns keep you wondering when the story will end. You also have the ability throughout the story to "Remix" memories. This means you can rewind, fast-forward, pause and change the course of someone's memory. I thought this was a fantastic and unique feature which added a a nice variation to the linear level navigation and repetitive combat.

Overall, Remember Me is worth the buy if you love a good story, fast-paced Capcom combat and beautifully crafted
environments. A lack of replay value except for retrieving collectibles is disappointing but you won't be bored your first
time around.
