What is Cyberpunk?

Cyberpunk is a science-fiction sub-genre dealing with the integration of society and technology in dystopian settings. Often referred to as “low-life and high tech,” Cyberpunk stories deal with outsiders (punks) who fight against the oppressors in society (usually mega corporations that control everything) via technological means (cyber). If the punks aren’t actively fighting against a megacorp, they’re still dealing with living in a world completely dependent on high technology.

Remember Me is a fun 3rd-person cyberpunk beat 'em up. It takes place in Neo Paris but also, a lot of the game takes place during the day. And there isn't constant rain or clouds, it's actually sunny. It's weird how few cyberpunk games ever actually show the sun.

The gameplay itself gets pretty repetitive. You're always just performing combos against groups of bad guys followed by some platforming (no RPG elements here). It isn't bad by any means, it's just no masterpiece. The world building is really fun though. There's a megacorporation that creates brain implants which allow people to upload, share, and edit their memories. You play a Memory Hunter who can jump into other people's heads and modify their memories. She uses this ability to try bringing down the corporation behind the implant after she learns the horrifying truth.

Here's a trailer. The game is available on Steam, where it regularly goes on sale for 80% off.

The gameplay and writing is mediocre but the music and maps are gorgeous. I still listen to the soundtrack and when I played through sometimes I would sit and observe the world.
