    As it stands, and as a review of a product, Back in 1995 is a gimmicky curiosity, not unlike its graphical approach; flat and askew, with some semblance of structure if you squint between the lines.

    Back in 1995 is a game that aims to make gamers feel like it was 1995 again, and while it succeeds in garnering a retro aesthetic, it falls far short everywhere else.

    I like that it captures how games felt back in the day. The crappy camera angles and controls are part of the charm and nostalgia.

Everything is so brightly lit and normal that it looks like a bad Sega Saturn game but 3 times as worse. Everything is bland. The monsters look like turds. The controls are unclear. Why oh why is there voice acting? This game is a Joke! Full Review »
