Poll: "Remember Me" worth $10?

[DoPo]

Can someone tell me if I completely misunderstood the combat? I found it immensely tedious, since you can't counter you spend more time dodging than building combos.

You probably did - I had different combos for different situations and even then you can jump around and hit multiple people, so my routine was sort of attack, dodge, attack but the attack would vary, for example a short heavy damage combo for taking out one combatant (if there are a lot. Though it may need to be repeated) or a longer combo for tougher enemies when possible, or maybe a longer combo split between several people if possible.

Since I could craft my combos, I'd change them and have different tools for approaching the combat - I know for a while I played with the short combo filling up HP as sort of a "panic button" attack, since it was easy to execute, while the others were doing other stuff.

Overall, the combat wasn't a shining beacon or anything but it was fine.

I apologize but you are forgetting the costs involved. The game isn't just $10. It's $10+opportunity cost

Remember me is, sadly, forgettable as so many reviewers pointed out as though they were being ultra-creative with their play on words. It was a game with truly innovative ideas and mechanics that it just never really achieved the potential they clearly had.

The question isn't whether or not it's worth the $10. It's whether or not it's worth the time you take to play it compared to some other game or some other activity you would enjoy more.

I'd say if you think about it there are probably a dozen games you may want to play more than this game and if you do, then this game will eventually be $5 by the time it's high on the list or you may then have another 20 games ahead of it when that time rolls around.

Remember, as games evolve and fracture into thousands of releases per year we have to pick and choose. Our greatest resource is our time now and so, just like with movies or books, we pick and choose our most desired options rather than trying to enjoy them all.
