    This game seems to forget the whole point of PS1 survival horror games. 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!

    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.

    Back in 1995: A very strange and flawed game, but that very strange and flawed nature also makes it compelling. It's as if someone found an obscure 3DO horror game from the mid-nineties and released it on Steam completely unaltered. Whether that's a good thing really depends on how you feel about old survival horror. [June/July 2016]

    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.

    Distorted textures and hulking polygons may not feel as chic or romantic as pixel art, but Back in 1995's paean to the 32-bit era extends beyond aesthetic cognizance. It's a vehicle for the sentiment and devotion of its author, and approach may be limited to a shared fondness of that time and place.
