Amazing game. One of the true 90's classics and well worth a look if you enjoy platforming/puzzle games.

Works well playing on a keyboard and the animation has aged well. The graphics are still stylish and beautiful too.

It only took me 30 years to finally play through Flashback. It's aged surprisingly well, the art style, holds up. The original was too unforgiving, for my lazy ass, but the rewind feature in this version made for a much more enjoyable, casual experience. I died countless times, but I blame my poor Steam controller for most of them :). Without the rewind feature, I imagine this game would still be incredibly challenging. The controls were the biggest drawback – they were absolutely ****. However, the game was enjoyable enough to persevere. Perhaps a standard Xbox controller would have offered better control. Overall, I'd give this Flashback version a solid 6 out of 10, but that's with the caveat of using a Steam controller.

A classic gem and a game from my childhood which i just finished for the first time today. For some reason back on the Sega Megadrive my tiny mind couldn't figure out what to do once i reached the alien planet level. The controls might feel awkward compared to modern games but after a while they become second nature, it feels so cool to do a running long jump, land and roll with your gun drawn to blast some enemies. The rotoscope animation still looks excellent and i love the look of the Earth city levels. The city levels are also the best with some great combat sections. One level does features a lot of shitty backtracking but it only lasts like 20 minutes. This version features a rewind function to help you past the trickier sections or if you fall to your death which can happen unexpectedly now and then. This game is ancient but don't be put off, it's still pretty excellent and i really enjoyed revisiting it.

Such a timeless classic and it plays just like it did with some minor enhancements that don't take away from anything.
