  Forgotten Memories is an atmospheric first-person survival/horror game where we arrive at an abandoned asylum looking for a missing girl, but quickly find ourselves investigating a series of mysterious murders involving secret experiments, mad doctors, forbidden psychiatric practices, paranormal activities, and lots of animated mannequins.

  We take a lot of factors in to account when deciding on the overall rating for a game. For everything that Alternate Realities gets right, the scarcity of checkpoints and a bouquet of other small annoyances knocks it down from being a 5-star masterpiece to a 3.5-star could-have-been. Don't go away from this review thinking that this is by any means a bad game, but it's impossible to give an unqualified recommendation for a game that a lot of people are going to find boring.

  While it is indeed a horrifying affair, it ends all too abruptly at just under an hour and a half on my first playthrough. Having been in development for years, Forgotten Memories feels like it was purposely cut short to allow for sequels or download content. That being said, the pacing is tight and there is no filler whatsoever, but it still feels like the first chapter of a longer game. ...Aside from the brevity, awful controls, and dull combat, the game is easily recommendable for those looking for that Silent Hill feel.

  Forgotten Memories also suffers for its old-fashioned save system. Similar to games gone by, it requires you to find floppy disks in order to save your progress. The gaps between these can be quite long. ...It’s an enjoyable game for sure, and quite atmospheric, but such issues stop Forgotten Memories from being great.

  As a whole, Forgotten Memories is designed really well, and it is very creepy with some neat puzzles. The game is only marred by clunky combat experiences and a stingy save system that is stuck in the 90’s.

  7.0

  It's a well put-together tribute to survival horror games of yesteryear, but some underdeveloped mechanics hold Forgotten Memories back from greatness.
