My Memory of Us

I rarely rate games 5 stars but My Memory of Us gets one. I am so glad to see a game that encourages moral responsibility in an world of entertainment that proselytizes the opposite. Everyone should own this game and play it and let it's message sink in.

First of all, I have to say that My Memory of Us is incredibly important game for me as a Polish. It depicts what is perhaps the most tragic event in the history of Poland - and does it in artistic, subtle manner. No propaganda here, only cruel world seen by the eyes of kids - and described with the voice of Sir Patrick Stewart (yup, THIS Patrick Stewart). Beside that, it's a solid puzzle-platformer, with delightful graphics and clever level design. It's very much like Valiant Hearts - not so polished and perhaps shorter (it can be completed in 4-5 hours), but worth playing just the same.

Bought this for my daughter (8) and myself. Equal parts emotional, beautiful, educational and sometimes horrifying. Puzzles didn't prove too much of a challenge but the story and beautiful animation and narration by sir Patrick Stewart kept me moving forward. It was an enjoyable experience throughout and just the right length. The ending brought tears to my eyes. Even though it is suitable for kids I would suggest that you stay invested in your child's playthrough due to the heavy subject matter and some of the more difficult puzzles. Adults can truly enjoy this piece for it's artistry and nuanced take on WW2. For kids it can be both an educational experience and a challenge.

+ Has atmosphere + Will warm your heart + Language-independent - Some puzzles are quite illogical - controls are clunky, especially with gamepad
