People hated Reminiscence for being too noir, too slow, too moody. And yet... that’s exactly what made me love it. It's like someone fed Inception, Blade Runner, and a sad Hugh Jackman into a sensory deprivation tank and whispered, “Tell me about your trauma.”
The plot? Honestly, it doesn’t matter. This isn't about where you're going — it’s about where you’ve already been, and then diving back into it with monologues so drenched in atmosphere they might actually rust.
But here’s the twist: it hits the same sweet spot as Battleship. Not because it’s dumb — but because it doesn’t overexplain. It just vibes. You’ve got a grid-based tech system, a veteran leading the charge, and enough watery visuals to make Kevin Costner nod in approval. Only this time, instead of "Fire B-7!", it’s “Relive that heartbreak... again... in slow motion.”
Is it perfect? Nope. But it’s got style, it’s got heart, and sometimes that’s all I need — just like memory itself. Glitchy. Foggy. But weirdly comforting.
