This was the most interesting story so far, tying the previous routes together which would otherwise seem fairly random. I already knew what his character was like, so I took an instant disliking to him and therefore ended up getting one of the bad endings.Īfter completing every route for the four available characters, I moved on to Ukyo’s route in the Joker World. This was more of a negative on my part, but I realise it would be far too confusing for the characters to change drastically per each individual route.īy the time I got to Toma’s route (4th route), I already got a sense for what was going to happen. The characters’ personalities didn’t appear to change much either, so the more you played, the easier it was to predict the outcome of your choices. The characters had the same names and visuals in every instance, but your relationships and their positions would alter with each route. Circumstances changed with each separate story, some were really sweet where others turned out to be pretty dark… Each route had a strong point behind it, making each one interesting for different reasons. My first play through for each route was done without guides and I enjoyed each route as an individual with surprising route variation. The first route, Shin’s route, was thoroughly enjoyable as I’d had no previous experiences with any other characters in the game, therefore I actually found I could play along and put myself into the protagonist’s shoes. The voice acting for all the characters was fantastically done and I didn’t find too many problems with spelling, grammar or translations. Other than the styling of the characters, the artwork was pretty to look at and the settings were well portrayed with the use of colour palette changes to show different times of day. The first thing that came to mind was, “What the hell is he wearing?” as he looked like he’d jumped straight out of a Final Fantasy game with a stupid amount of belts all over his body and ‘edgy’ clothing. On entering the Heart World, I awakened to be greeted by a guy who I later found out to be named Shin. I decided to follow suit and play the worlds in the order they were listed. Each World has a good ending, normal ending and at least two bad endings. There are five Worlds: Heart, Spade, Clover, Diamond and the bonus Joker World which is unlocked by getting the good ending in the other four Worlds. I love the way Orion is included in the game, acting somewhat as a narrator and making comments throughout the game, some of which are pretty hilarious. He also states that there are multiple worlds in which you may have possibly come from and he will guide you on your journey to reclaiming your memories. I played Amnesia: Memories on Steam for around 45 hours, reaching 100% completion.Īmnesia: Memories begins by meeting the spirit, Orion, a ‘strange looking kid’ who collides with your character, claiming he is the reason you’ve lost your memories. In 2015, the game was released in North America and Europe and there have been a few other games in the series released exclusively for PSP since. That being said, here I am with my first review of the year for my first 2019 game completion.Īmnesia: Memories was originally released in 2013 in Japan by Idea Factory for PSP and PC. I don’t always feel like playing games when I get in from work, so diving into something with minimal demand on my end is a great way to chill out after a long day. Personally, I find there’s nothing better than getting stuck right into a well written visual novel.
