The gameplay of the game is widely criticized for being frustrating and poorly designed, with mechanics that feel random and unintuitive, leading to tedious and disorienting experiences. While the unique "rememory" mechanic offers an interesting concept, it often results in chaotic platforming and vague objectives that detract from the overall enjoyment. Despite its beautiful visuals and intriguing atmosphere, many players found the gameplay lacking, making it difficult to recommend for those seeking a satisfying gaming experience.
- “It feels like this game was going for a dreamy and intangible approach to the gameplay, where the mechanics are directly tied in with your movement.”
- “It's a solid exploration/puzzle game that goes for a dreamlike feel and nails it really well with the forgetting mechanic, doing a great job of mimicking how things in dreams can change and move just because you look away from them for a moment.”
- “A few of the more platforming levels are rough around the edges, as you'll often need to forget the area around you multiple times until the platforms end up in locations you can actually jump to, but the more puzzle-oriented levels are where the game really shines, with a number of puzzles making very clever use of the forgetting mechanics.”
- “No direction, tedious gameplay, disorienting and difficult to parse visuals that made me nauseous.”
- “Despite being compared to and tagged as a walking simulator, Rememoried is actually a confused puzzle platformer, where you spend half your time stuck on levels whose solution doesn’t make a lick of sense (because surrealism!) and the other half on drawn out, poorly-designed platforming levels where the camera, the jumping mechanics and the hypercontrasted graphics all conspire to make you fall to your death for the umpteenth time in a row.”
- “The game becomes really frustrating as it goes on, and repeating the same game mechanics just makes it worse.”

However, many players also note that the visuals can be disorienting and overwhelming, leading to gameplay frustrations due to poor depth perception and confusing design choices. While the art style is a highlight, it is often overshadowed by gameplay issues, leaving some players feeling that the graphics alone do not compensate for the lack of coherent gameplay.
- “The art style is very beautiful.”
- “Beautiful and unique graphics, and incredible concept and atmosphere - but I'm afraid the frustrating gameplay overwhelmed them all for me.”
- “Awesome visuals and mechanics.”
- “The graphics abuse light or cheap bloom effects.”
- “The narration is gag-worthy, the gameplay directionless and pointless, and the graphics are so overwhelmingly sparkly they practically assault you.”
- “I was unable to see anything but purple for a world map unless I was playing in 1024x768 with low quality, and even then there was an issue with the graphics preventing me from accurately moving within the world (looked like I was jumping 'down', and had a horizontally-mirrored overlay of certain elements within the world, neither of which looked intentional by the developer).”
