Remember Me never quite meets it's full potential but it's still a robust experience overall.
For starters, it's one of the most visually striking games I've ever played. The graphics and art direction are absolutely phenomenal. I'd almost solely recommend this game on the strength of it's visuals, it's that good.
The game has a very uneven story though it's bursting with originality. The writing is smart enough to ask to right kind of questions and there are some truly memorable moments in the 9 chapters that comprise the story.
Nilin, who already stands out from most video game protagonists by being a woman of colour, is written with the right balance of emotion and toughness. She feels vulnerable but is always capable of getting the job done. In between each chapter Nilin monologues about what's she done and how she feels; there are some genuinely interesting moments of pathos for her that flesh out her personality. She's much more interesting that other characters in these types of games such as Kratos or Dante.
Remember Me's biggest fault is the gameplay. This is a character action game with a total of 5 combos. Changing what your combos do is a good idea in theory and having multiple enemy types helps but it doesn't change that you essentially are pushing the same combination of buttons for the entire game. This is going to be a problem for many people, especially if you're looking for a challenging experience. The combat doesn't nearly have as much depth as competing games in the same genre.
If you're new to the action genre, or you want an adequate action game with a good story, then I recommend Remember Me. If you want a highly polished action game, look elsewhere.

One of the better written and executed narratives in gaming. This game makes you feel attached to geometric shapes, not an easy task. It's a definitive proof that you don't need a big budget to tell a good story. It's well worth playing and the puzzle mechanics are quite creative. It's the best puzzle game since Portal. Highly recommended!

One of the most interesting and unique examples of storytelling in the video game genre. It's a perfect blend of dry humor and postmodern storytelling. The Stanley Parable is a thorough deconstruction of how video games tell stories and the unique role of the player in the narrative.
As far as video game narratives go, it's hard to imagine a game that's more unique, sharply written and gut-wrenchingly hilarious. I recommend this game to everyone!

Not a whole lot of people playing this game freely. Can be difficult to find a game, however given how much of this I played on the 360, I can safely say that if you somehow haven't played this game you owe it to yourself to do so.
