32 of 32 · most liked firstQuick shout-out for Lunark! Disappointed in the disappointing Flashback remake and awful Flashback 2? This game is basically what should have gotten the time in the spotlight.
unlabelledView post →Remember the game Flashback? The game known for amazing hand drawn rotoscoped art, and fluid animations... This is what you experience 5 minutes into Flashback 2. I audibly laughed. And on top of that. Its performance is unforgivably bad too.
unlabelledView post →Flashback 2 finished. It tries real hard to tug at your nostalgia for the first game with its locations, but it is absolute trash. Combat is shit. Story is shit. Dialogue is shit. There's no redeeming qualities. Even the "art" is AI generated shit... Don't play it.
unlabelledView post →I've been playing a lot of Flashback 2 today, and while I don't particularly like that they retconned Fade to Black out of existence, I am having a good deal of fun. Pleasantly surprised, so far. That first game is a tough act to follow, especially 30 years later.
unlabelledView post →Watching an interview from an old dev who worked on Flashback and also Fade To Black and also the recent Flashback 2 and him seeing the game again clearly didn't inspire the most confidence and very much insisted it's not the devs' fault.
unlabelledView post →Flashback 2, in its current state, does not feel like a 40€ game but rather like a hurried indie production (which would have still been hard to recommend). Gameplay issues, no remappable controls, no graphical options, bugs, barely working mechanics. This is making me nostalgic for Fade to Black.

unlabelledView post →I know that Soul Hackers 1 was originally released on PS1 and Saturn, but only in Japan, and saw a worldwide release on the 3DS. And with Flashback, despite the "2" in the title, there is another sequel to the original game, named Fade to Black, and Flashback 2 is canonically a prequel.
unlabelledView post →27. Flashback 2 #Playstation5 Good looking game but convoluted plot, stilted, poor voice acting & childish script. The main character gets caught on the environment too often & occasionally it's unclear where to go next i.e. drop in a hole 🤷🏼♂️ There's a decent variety of levels... #Games2025
unlabelledView post →Yep. I really liked that game too for similar reasons. Fade to Black (original sequel) Flashback (remake) and Flashback 2 (newest sequel) are all garbage though. Lol They all involve the guy who made the original and yet they all have a distinct lack of understanding of why people like it. Lol
unlabelledView post →Gross. Flashback 2 just came out and it's apparently very bad. Here's IGN's review: www.ign.com/articles/fla... That's disappointing. The original was a cutting edge game at the time. But what's even worse is the AI generated character in-game portraits. 🤮

unlabelledView post →Talking about Totally Spies... I would've imagined that they'd be the ones doing the game considering RCG but it seems it's gonna be Microids Last sidescroller they did was Flashback 2 and I'm told it was pretty bad. Let's hope this one turns out good!

The new games are not as good but the music in them is still great - I made a playlist on spotify collecting the music from the new version of Flashback and Flashback 2 games: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2dP2NKDWTOaenV8A0YzKYz?si=3cd8f7e702f4447b #spotify #flashback #flashback2 #gamemusic

unlabelledView post →I’ve always been very nostalgic about Flashback. I’ve considered it as my favorite game of all time, probably because it blew my mind so much as a kid. However it looks like I won’t be playing #Flashback2 at all. IGN gives it a 2 out of 10: “Flashback 2 is not a blast from the past – it’s a total misfire.”https://www.ign.com/articles/flashback-2-review
