10) Remember Me

Remember Me is based in Neo-Paris in the year 2084, when memories can be digitalized and shared. The game centers around Nilin, a memory hunter who is able to pillage and remix memories. When Nilin wakes up with no memory, her journey to regain her memory begins.

With the help of some old friends, Nilin searches out her foes to seek the truth. Her memory hunting skills come in handy when she needs to overcome obstacles. She is able to take and learn from the memories of her enemies. Through their memories, she is able to see how to get around landmines, traps, and more.

Use your powers to affect your world

In order to learn information and remove threats, Nilin is able to manipulate the memories of those who get in her way. Everyone has a defining moment or two in their lives and Nilin uses this to her advantage. By entering the minds of others, she is able to shape the way events unfold in their memories, which ultimately changes their personality, mood, and demeanor. By rearranging their psyches, Nilin is able to extract information from them that they would not otherwise give away.

She will also use her advanced combat skills, which she will need to re-learn, to cut down her opponents. The combat system is based on combos, which the player is able to customize. To go along with the theme of memories, players will need to memorize combos to perform heavy damage maneuvers.

Defeat the psyches of your enemies

Remember Me is an interesting look into the most personal parts of ourselves – the thing that defines us – memories. In a future world where nothing is private, memories are a great commodity and it is your job to help Nilin get hers back. According to developer Dontnod, Remember Me 2 is ready to be made.
