8 Genius Ideas Wasted On Bad Video Games

3. Memory Remixing - Remember Me

The ironically monikered Remember Me came and went in a blip in 2013, with most dismissing it for its jumbled story and uninvolving gameplay - that is, save for the game's ingenious Memory Remix sequences.

Protagonist Nilin possesses the ability to enter a person's memories and alter their perception of past events. 

These set-pieces, of which there precious few throughout the game, are the easy highlight - effectively interactive cinematic puzzles in which you need to reconfigure memories for your benefit.

Sadly these segments too often take a backseat to generic combat and platforming, effectively feeling like a prototype for another type of game entirely. 

Developer Dontnod of course went on to bigger and better things with the Life is Strange series, but it's a shame they've never returned to the Memory Remix concept in a new title, because it's the only part of this game you're actually likely to remember today.
