Remember Me: Teaching Us Important Lessons!

Remember me is a beat em up style game with a female protagonist and that’s its entire selling point. I’m quite let down to know that they apparently wanted to create a strong one too. I know. That cover fooled me too.

No it doesn’t matter that you’ve just instilled a horribly traumatic memory into this person who for all you know is in the right because your main character has amnesia. Who cares if you possibly just made her homicidal against a medical practitioner who did exactly what he promised to? Who cares if at some point she realizes she’s helping you because of a lie?

You see this so much better than usual video game ways of killing people. Let’s take another example, where you have to kill a particular general for plot reasons.

Either way despite the choice of a female protagonist Remember Me teaches us all a very important lesson: you’re always right, and it doesn’t matter how much you have to fabricate the truth to make sure everyone knows that.

Remember Me gets a… Where the did I put the score… Ah yes out of… France… What?
