Before buying this game, I saw that most of the top rated reviews just spoke about comparison's to Orwellian works, modern social networks, and Papers Please. And I thought important to address a couple of things after playing through what is available. Orwell is an episodic game; meaning, this is not the final result. This is more of a "Whodunit" than a Thriller mystery, so judging it for linearity might be unfair since they attempt to make you the detective by providing you with a given set of aesthetics. Now talking about aesthetics, this game/experience has its obvious references to Orwell and "1984" -- mainly -- but it is very clear they are only used for inspiration. This is no de facto Orwell Fan Fiction, just an experienced based on some questions the devs had about resembling aspects of society. From the two episodes they have released, I can tell that this is comparable to Papers Please in that you have to provide an analysis to come up with game altering decisions. However, since this is a "Whodunit" type mystery, and are limited to less than half of the intended story arc, we cannot truly make that comparison. What I can say without spoiling, is that there are choices that can either save or spare hundreds of lives, and the deciding factor is actually a juxtaposition of logic I have yet to fully grasp and understand. I think this is a great game; yet, it remains an aesthetic experience we are not yet able to finalise. I look forward for Episode 3's release in three day's time.

This, in all honesty, is a reallt good game. Nonetheless, it is an indie game. And from what I've played, I can tell that this is a better indie game than an overall game. This is just an exploration indie darling, nothing more than that. I honestly, could not see this product being sold for more than $30 (USD), it does not warrant that price. I think throwing ♥♥♥♥ on Sean Murray for overhyping the game is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. Sean never really lied about what the game was about; but it was rather the marketing, and truly ♥♥♥♥ media exposure that oversold this game. And that is a shame. It just speaks tantamountly on the state of gaming media. However, if you love exploration games, this is the game you have been waiting for. It is simply the definite exploration experience, it is simply nonpareil in comparison to other exploration games. This is not a game one should miss out on, it is just not an ideal port, somewhat overhyped, and very overpriced, but that will not make me not recommend other people from buying this product.

TL;DR: Wait 6 months for the game to go on a half-off sale.

Boot up game, character editor pops up. Spend 47 minutes customizing perfect waifu. Everyone panics, go to vault, 55 minutes into the game, bad guy comes in, shoots waifu. Waifu is kill. No. I'll never be happy. ♥♥♥♥ this game.

Skinned a bear alive. - 11/10

I thought that Remember Me was a GOOD (not great) game. It did have linear gameplay and level design as well as limitations in the combat (combos). But the game's foundations were pretty great, the story was good (had much more potential— some cringe-worthy moments could've been taken out and some others exploited), the art design and environments were incredibly well crafted, and (SPOILER ALERT) your electronic teddy bear was the bad guy all along— 10/10 would play again.
